Howmuch do you guys think i can get for my freeze hybrid? i got it about a month ago and 14lbs might be a bit heavy for me.
I agree with billf you should learn to play the inside line. I will also
add that you should learn and practice to play all across the lane from
the 1st or 2nd board on the left hand side all the way to the 1 board on
the right hand side if you really want to learn to play any part of the lane
and become a better bowler.
You should learn to break back your wrist and throw the ball straight at
single pin spares and sometimes it helps to throw the ball straight on the
dryer lanes when a hook ball is just hooking way too much.
Over the years I have taught myself to be able to play any part of the lane
on just about any condition like tonight we went out to get some practice
time in and the lanes hadn't been oiled since last week. Well to say my ball
was hooking to much would be an understatement well I pulled out the plastic
spare ball and lofted the left gutter cap and played between the 5th and 6th
arrows out to the 5th board to hit the pocket on the right hand side so that
just goes to show you that you need to learn to play anywhere on the lanes.

Given the way you are handling it in the videos it is not too heavy for you. However, that ball is meant for drier conditions. If you go to www.bowlingball.com they have the balls all rated with a perfect scale which lets you know what type of conditions the ball works best on. The higher the number the more oil the ball likes. For a typical house shot during league a ball rated around 180 usually works best for the majority of bowlers. Balls with a polished finish and symmetrical cores are what I recommend for people just getting back into league bowling. They clear the heads clean and have smoother hooks with a controlled reaction compared to matte, dull or sanded balls with asymmetrical cores.
The Storm Frantic, DV8 Reckless, Brunswick Versa-Max are all good, polished symmetrical balls that will open the lanes up quite a bit for you.
With your Freeze try standing at 20 (middle dot), throw it over the second arrow (10) with a break point around 5. If you miss right then move your feet right two boards at a time keeping the target the same. take some of your practice sessions and just work on standing one place and hitting a mark ten boards to the right (with your first ball). Don't worry about pin count. This will help with accuracy playing the entire lane. Once you cross the middle, with every two boards you move your feet, move your target 1. You will leave a lot of pins so the second ball line up where you want and work on converting your spares. Good luck.

You may not have a ball that is strong enough for the lane conditions to play where you want to play. A big part of this game is to figure out where the lane is going to let you play. I've seen some very talented bowlers struggle in the sport league because they get an idea that the pattern should be played a certain way and they just won't adjust their line.

Thats what im thinking the freeze will only move on so much and depending on his rev rate and speed he may need something more aggressive and its true There was a video of PDW shooting 300 in a team tournament recently and the reason was because he had a look on the inside of the lane that others didnt and werent playing.
I wouldn't sell the Freeze. First, it's probably not worth much at all. Second, I would be willing to bet that someday, you will need it, even as just a practice ball. I still have my freeze, and if I'm going to bowl for fun with friends, at an unfamiliar alley, I bring the Freeze.
Trying not to suck, one day at a time.
angelo dont sell your freeze cause one of these days the lanes might be dry or something and u will need it i still have mine thats pin down and i also have my too reckless pin up soo if the freeze over hooks i grab it dont think that u wont work cause there will be a lane condtion where u will need it and if u sell it and dont got it your games will end up getting low due to the ball v0oer hooking.

like they said dont sell it it will come in handy just consider getting another ball thats stronger but be ready to move around. You can make the freeze work but it will take more effort (slowing speed changing lines adding revs) and if your not that versatile then it will be hard no offense.
I'm probably going to get a DV8 hellraiser revenge, heard alot of good reviews and saw tons of videos. The league i joined will start in two weeks, you guys think i have enough time to practice with the DV8?
