The New Power from Lane #1, the Dynamo. This ball is another monster from lane #1 this ball can be hooked or thrown straight very easley.
Sanding a bowling ball gives any ball more hook. You can sand any bowling ball you want to in order to gain more hook.
Sanding a particle bowling ball will have less length and will have a stronger, or more hook to it.
Sanding a reactive bowling ball will just increase the hook potential.
The first thing is to ask yourself is do i hook the ball? Do i have a high rev rate? Do i have a high ball speed?
I’ll start out with people that hook the ball with a high rev rate. When you have a high rev rate like me, the ball will read the lane much early then most. When finding your best rotation you gotta look at the lane conditions and the ball your using. If your ball is drilled for max hook, and the lanes are oily, you would want to have a 3-9 o-clock to 4-10 o-clock rotation. By having this rotation it allows your ball to get through the front put of the lane and explode on the back end for max hook. But if you have a high rev rate and your using the same ball when you hook it and the lanes are dry, you must have a more end-over-end roll like 4.5-10.5 o-clock to a 5.5-11.5 o-clock roll. By having this end-over-end roll the ball wont read the lane right away, the result of throwing the ball like this is a much straighter down-and-in shot.
For those that like to throw the ball straight, there is a good chance that you have a lower rev rate. When the lanes are oily and your having a hard time hitting the pocket you have to have more of a 5-11 o-clock roll. The reason for this is because of the lower rev rate the ball will hook more than if you had a high rev rate. Another thing is that throwing the ball like that, you create lots of carry and back end.
How to hook the ball, its not easy and it will take time to master. The first thing you should do in hooking you ball is to make sure that you have a mid-high performance ball, by having a ball like that it should make hooking the ball easier.
The first step in hooking the ball is the start with a lighter ball so you don’t hurt your arm, wrist, and elbow. Another thing to remember is that a finger tip ball helps out a lot, a finger tip ball is where you have the ball drilled so your thumb goes all the way in the ball and your fingers go in to the first knuckle. Now when your ready to bowl you should always put you fingers in first to provide a perfect fit. It doesn’t matter if you have a high or low back swing its all in the wrist and elbow. I’ll tell you about how max your hooking potential later.
When you get into you backswing and when your come down you should cup your wrist ( get under the ball) and when you get to the bottom of your swing you should release the ball on the upward part of your swing, but that’s not the only thing, also when your about the release the ball let it roll of your hand and lift up with your fingers. Now after you get that down you should see your ball hook more and more.
Step 2
After you been hooking the ball for a few week your should start to feel stronger, and when you feel that your ready to change to a heaver ball, increase your weight by 2-3 pounds. If you feel that your ball still isn’t hooking enough you should use your elbow to provide more spin. when you come into the top of your back swing start to bend your elbow. About half way through your back swing push the ball off with your elbow and lift with your fingers. ANOTHER INPORTANT THING IS when you release the ball that you have rotation that is going for the head pin.
THING TO WATCH FOR
If your ball was drilled and has too long of a span on one of your fingers YOU SHOULD NOT USE IT. This is very dangerous because you can pull tendons and even break one of your fingers. When one of your fingers has to long of a span it puts all the pressure on that one finger.
