Question
I have two bowling balls now, both of them are about 10 years old. I haven't bowled in a league for about 8 years, but I'm starting up this summer. I have a moderate hook, but would like to get a new ball with more hook potential.Any suggestions?

Answer
I would suggest working with the old balls a bit before thinking about a new one since you are just getting back in the game with such a long layoff.There are thousands of balls out there & how would you know whitch one is best for you without knowing what exactly what you NEED?
DUST THEM OFF & AFTER A 8 YR LAYOFF, YOU NEED "GAMES" TO GET INTO YOUR OLD GAME AGAIN.Once you smooth out,see what the old ones don't give you.Then get back with me & I will help you in finding the correct ball.
