    Good feedback, thanks guys. I'll stick with my Misfit until I get my average up. I think by then I'll have a abetter idea of what I really want. My next ball I'll be getting for free in a few weeks from my 10for10 league so I'll have a plastic spare ball lying around for those straight shots .

    If you are trying to hook the ball you must keep your wrist straight or a little cupped and make sure on the downswing your wrist doesn't break back. Also keep your hand behind the ball facing the pins until you reach your slide foot ankle and then let your hand turn a little to the inside. Very important is to not let your fingertips straighten to get the ball to leave your hand. Keep them bent at the angle you put them into the ball and let the balls weight and gravity pull it off your fingertips. That is what puts spin on the ball and not trying to make your hand go around the ball like you are trying to spin a top. If you do this right your ball will be rotating at a 45 degree
    angle to the pins as it skids in the first part of the alley. In the middle part of the alley the ball will slow down a little and start to hook. When it reaches the last part of the alley right before the pins it should go into a roll towards the pocket if you are adjusted right.
