    Lately I've been using my Marauder for everything except spares on the left, where I need to throw it straight to pick 'em off. Even if it's a ten pin, I just throw the DV8 at it and let it hook right in there and take it out. Very satisfying.

    i do the same, i know exactly what adjustment i need to make to hit anywhere on the lane with a hook (except 10 pins) i can hook and hit 10 but i'm a lot more accurate throwing straight

    A Blue Hammer urethane ball is good for dry lanes. You can use it for single pin spares or if the lanes are dry you can use it for more direct bowling for pocket strikes. You have a wider target with more direct bowling. I have a Blue Hammer and I can put the toe of my right shoe on the third dot from the left-I am a lefty-and throw between the first and second arrow and putting a lot of revs on it and it will still hit in the pocket and not on the brooklyn side. A 14lb weight is just right for me.

    I throw corner to corner for anything on my ball side whether I'm going straight or throwing a hook. I actually have been hitting all 6 pins with my 10 pin mark. It sends the 6 where the 7 should be and still cleans out the 10. It's good practice for the 6-7-10 during the game. The 6-8-10 I've never left it. 6-9-10 I have a can get that either straight or hook also.

    That or just give the giant his ball back. That would definitely throw off your accuracy and swing lol
