Question
I have recently joined a league and now I am looking for a ball that will better suite me. I am a left hander with a natural hook. Could you recomend a ball that would help me take advantage of my hook. Thanks Jesse

Answer
Is this going to be your first ball?  If so, I would look at going with the Tropical Storm line from Storm, the Power Groove line from Brunswick, the Tornado line from Ebonite, or the Scout line from Columbia.  They are all entry lever performance balls.  This will give you more hook potential than house balls or polyester balls.  Once you get into bowling, you may be able to upgrade.

Good luck,
Chip
