Question
hi
i am pretty new to bowling. i roll with lower speed, 12 lb ball (it's all i can do due to wrist/finger joint aches/pain)
i recently bought a NEMESIS ball (had a scout particle last year)
my question is, as play progresses my ball does not hook into the pocket as i expect it to (first game)
i am a righty and i stand at center. should i be moving to right , left, adjust speed , give up?

Answer
The Nemesis has more hook potential than the Scout.  However, having said that, you would not be able to play the same line as you did with your Scout.  I would expect that you would need to move left or increase the ball speed.  One other option would be to polish the Nemesis.  This will delay the hook and may let you play where you would like to.

Good luck,
Chip
