Fingertip curve.

This is purely for recreation and I doubt I'll ever have more than 1 ball. My friend has bowled his whole life and he is helping me.

Currently looking at the Colombia chaos ball.

Look at videos of the balls and what they do:

It also depends on which type of hook you have, with stroker, tweener, power stroker, and cranker. I am a tweener (with low revolutions and high angle). There are the four balls that I own (minus the plastic ball used for spares on the right side of the lane).

It can be an experience, but it's pretty nice in the end, finally having a ball fitted to your hand and throw.

You guys know any aggressive, but not too aggressive balls? I used to have a Black Widow Bite, but goddamn, that ball was so hard to control because it was too goddamn aggressive.

I just went to the pro shop, picked out a middle-of-the road for aggressiveness ball and then they spent about 30 minutes with me to drill out the finger holes. I still use my 20-yr-old $30 K-Mart straight ball for spares. I do need to get an aggressive one if I ever decide to play a sport league again.

What is your average so far?

I once held a 210 average, but it dropped to about a 175 after my bowling alley got new lanes put in (and frankly, so did most people on my league too).

I want my old average back.

A laughable 125 but I'm probably a 175avg bowler with a decent ball.

Weekly league cost is $22. Shoes were $60. Bowling ball will be $150-200. Good times are priceless.

Are you in Philly?

It also depends on which type of hook you have, with stroker, tweener, power stroker, and cranker. I am a tweener (with low revolutions and high angle). Fingertip for me, and all weigh 15 pounds (which is the de-facto default). No need to have measurements on my fingers anymore since it's all saved in the system, meaning that I can buy a ball with the exact same span for the holes and exactly where I need it to keep a tweener hook.
There are the four balls that I own (minus the plastic ball used for spares on the right side of the lane).

Not being humble every once in a while can really misalign your chakras, ok?
