Question
hi im going to be getting a new ball the one by ebonite .. im a lefty and stand around 10 board and throw out to the 10 board second arrow. my ball which is like 18 yrs old is a johhny petraglio goes down and hooks into the pocket on the back end.now my quistion is if i get this ball and have it drilled with some finger wieght or have it drilled straight up. im reading that this ball if for more of a cranker which im not and i know ill have to move to the right for this ball what your thoughts on this?  

Answer
The one has a lot more hook potential than the ball you are using now.  It is hard to say how much more it will hook than the LT 48, but it is like comparing a hand grenade to an atomic bomb.

Talk to your ball driller about it before it is drilled.

Good luck,
Chip
