Reply With QuoteWelcome to the forum! Don't force yourself to use 2 fingers to want the hook the ball. Using fingers AND thumb can help you gain better control with your bowling ball. Once you learn form and technique, you'll be hooking the ball in no time.

Hello to all just started our first league this year and its been great saw the giveaways the site has and had to join, my wife and I started this year she started with a house ball and thru the season we have moved up a co worker of mine found two balls that had been pre drilled and have them to me I knew nothing about bowling and just started throwing them one had way to much hook and I went and used the spare ball but moved my self up to the fury ninja ( yes it's very old) and we started doing research ands practicing a lot we bought her a pink and black path ball since she was comfortable with a house ball and I moved from the ninja to the Brunswick Versa max had it drilled to my fingers and its great so far still really learning to throw it though. For valentines day though she got me the Brunswick aura paranormal which right now the ball will be way to much for me but I love it and will be getting it drilled in the next few weeks. After the seasons over we are going to get her the dv8 diva hopefully.
I'm still learning at this time I can't hook a ball with my three fingers so I have been using just two with my balls I have decent control with it and it works quite well for me my highest game is a 204 and hers is 162 which I thinks awesome for a 8 pound ball

Welcome to the forum. enjoy the sport. Even though I believe in three digit bowling for better control, bowl whatever way you want as long as you're having fun.
