What bowling ball hooks more?

So im about to buy a new bowling ball and i need something that hooks angularly, so what should i get? (I%26#039;ve been looking at the Fury or the Twisted Fury)

What bowling ball hooks more?
It%26#039;s more than which ball. I%26#039;ve been bowling all my life and throwing a hook ball for 23 years. I%26#039;m a regular league bowler and bowl at least 3 times per week and hit around a 200 average. Tonight I bowled a 269 - maybe I have a few ideas for you. Technologies change every 10 years or so. But the following list of items have been consistently contributing to the amount of bite/curve a ball can have.





1) Your feet positioning.


2) Your delivery trajectory, speed and mark on the lane.


3) The lane condition.


4) The ball itself.





I%26#039;ll break these down for you.





#1 - Feet positioning. It%26#039;s very important to find and stick with a consistent placement of your feet on the lane. Each lane is different so don%26#039;t be surprised if you change position from lane to lane. But for one individual lane, find your feet position and park there every time. By feet positioning I am referring to the %26quot;Dots%26quot; on the approach position. I%26#039;m a right-handed bowler and on the odd numbered lanes stand 3 boards left of the last dot. On even numbered lanes I stand with my left foot directly on the the last dot. Find your dot-position and use that everytime for a particular lane.





#2 - Ball trajectory, speed and mark on the lane. The name of the game here, like #1 is consistency. You need to find a consistent release on the ball so that your trajectory will be the same every time (speaking of the strike ball - not spares). The speed is also important - the key is try to through your ball the same speed every time. Most importantly mark on the lane. Use the arrows about 1/4 of the way down the bowling lane, find your mark and hit that mark/arrow every time. Consistency.





#3 - Lane condition. This is the main reason why from night-to-night that your feet position and mark on the lane may change. On nights when the lane is wet (recently oiled) the ball is going to slide further before it hooks. These type of conditions are rare unless you bowl early in the morning. Most of the time the lanes are in a varied condition of wet and dry. Usually dry on the outside and wet on the inside. You%26#039;ve got to get a sense of the lane condition to determine your feet positioning and ball mark.





#4 - The ball itself. I recommend Hammer Black Widow. It does a pretty good job of sliding before reacting - just what a bowler needs to attach the strike-zone pocket. It has a wicked hook that can be a beast but can also be the best sounding strike you%26#039;ve ever heard. The key is consistency. Once you%26#039;re standing on your position, throwing and hitting your mark with the accurate speed and delivery - this ball will reward you. It%26#039;s a bit on the expensive side - but I really enjoy taming it. It%26#039;s manageable on somewhat dry lanes but loves wet oil. If the lanes are completely dry - do not use this ball, you%26#039;ll never hit the pocket.





Hope that helps.
Reply:The ball shouldn%26#039;t matter as much as the drilling. A good driller will watch you make a few deliveries then position the holes to the weight block inside the ball. You should carry a couple bo balls, with different hooks, so you can adjust for the lane speed.
Reply:Just purchase the Fury, which is definitely lowering in price now, and adjust the coverstock to fit the lane condition plus have the pro shop drill it exotically for maximum performance. The Twisted Fury has lower hook ability because it%26#039;s between the Fury and Fury Pearl. Hope this helps!
