Question
Hi i have bought this punisher ball and i find it hard to make it hook.I dont know if it is me or the ball.Can you tell me what the ball is set up to do.I am a right hander and when i hold the ball my ringer finger is about 1/2 an inch off the side of yellow dot on the ball.I find the only way to hook it is by cuffing my hand and bending my hand to the left but after a while my wrist gets sore.Hope i explained my self ok ...Eddie from AUSTRALIA

Answer
The punisher is not a ball for heavy oil with the out of box finish.  You could have the ball sanded to a 400 wet/dry sandpaper finish and that would help.
You might also be playing the lane incorrectly and may need to move to a different location on the lane.  Try to line up off of other successful bowlers.

Good luck,
Chip
