I would like to know if the radical inferno is a good ball for me. I have a alright hook but i throw alot of strait balls also. i went bowling today i got two two  hundred games
-----Answer-----
What kind of ball are you using now?
The Radical may be a good ball, but so may a lot of others.  Bowling balls have different levels of hook potential, but there is not a ball that hooks on its own.  Too much hook potential may be very difficult to control as well.  You might want to look at a  mid level type of ball to start with.  That would give you a good mix of power and control.

Good luck,
Chip

Answer
The Fired Up is similar to the Radical.  I would talk to a local pro shop and they can show you the differences in ball choices.  They can also watch you bowl and suggest a ball that suits your style.  A local may be able to watch you and feel that you can use the higher level balls.  Without watching you, I would look at the Tropical Storm, the Scout series, or the Tornado series.  Storm, Columbia, and Ebonite are the manufacturers.

Good luck,
