Hey guys,
One of the issues I've always been having in the past was trying to get more hook than I have. Right now I have a very gradual hook, that on dry conditions can get the job done however if the lanes are soaking wet no matter where I throw the ball it's going straight. My form is almost right, however I know I probably am doing something wrong with my release that would be sacrificing my hook. I think to describe it, right now I throw somewhere around 2nd arrow right side into the pocket. I'm looking for a little bit more, and I know this ball is supposed to have a lot of reaction to it.
One of the concerns I had was how the ball was drilled. I went to a pro shop where a good bowler friend of mine had recommended, however I'm not sure if I got the same guy he recommended or not. I requested the guy watch me bowl despite him not wanting to in order of determining how to drill it. I explained I definitely wanted more hook than I had with my old Ebonite Predator since before 2003. I don't know if he went off of how I bowled, or what my old track was on the ball since again 7+ years ago.
Here is an image of the ball and how it's drilled. I'll let you guys be the judge.

Also, there is a serious chip by either one of my finger holes. Will these potentially cause an issue? The chip by the left finger hole I can actually remove from the ball.

Sorry about the poor images, the only camera I have is my iPhone. Please let me know what you think about the bowling ball. I would be interested in getting some opinions from some of you guys. I will answer any questions to the best of my ability.
