Like so many other people. When I was younger I didn't have this problem. Stop bowling while going to night school. Decided to come to bowling in 07. It seemed like I had to start over again. Minus the conventional grip. I came back to bowling only being able to roll a straight.
Over the months I practiced as much as I could. The owner was very cool and let me bowl free. I eventually got my hook back. However, I now have a death grip on the ball which I'm thinking is the reason I don't get enough side rotation. Sure the ball hooks a bit, but I'm sure it could be better. I don't have a camera at the moment to show where my track is.
I'm a right hander. The track is next to the finger 1st two rotations are over the thumb hole then is clears on the last 3 rotations.
I'm not looking for perfection. I just what I had in the past.
Thanks
