Well tried out all the advise and started getting more revs on the ball just missing my lines due to not knowing how much the ball was going to hook. I also seemed to be releasing right of target alot when trying to make sure i was flicking my fingers. its a work in progress.
Just keep practicing on that. If you're missing your target consistently to one side, be sure that you are staring at your target until the ball rolls over it. Also another thing to try is, do not blink your eyes from the first step until you release the ball. You'll be surprised what a difference that'll make.

I'll know more after I practice this week.

These new balls act like sponges to oil. Some of the manufacturers recommend de-oiling them as early as every 60 games. That tells me they are definitely aware as to how much their balls will absorb the oil. Some guys clean (rejuvenate) their equipment once a month. Especially if they typically bowl on heavy oil conditions. You probably will see a difference in the amount of hook you'll get from the ball immediately. Be prepared to move your feet/target !

Ya I really need to give the ball a good cleaning and resurfacing. Bowling got snowed out this week and it's driving Me crazy. I really need to get outand work on all these things.
