    I achieve "straight as possible" by not bending my elbow (approx 22 mph) so the ball simply can't hook.

    Back in 2012 when I first started back, I had a night of 15 strikes, and 16 ten pins, covering all of them.

    The bonus is I bounce pins around quite a bit.

    I just picked up an 8-10 by hitting the 10 pin, which hit the back of the 8 pin so hard it ended up out on front the rake.

    For me, when I'm on i hit all my ten pin leaves. when I'm off and missing tens I find that i am simply going too fast. either my feet are too fast or im not taking enough time to really line up my shot.

    ^^^^^^^ This times 1,000,000 is what I do every single time with my old school original Columbia 300 White Dot. This ball does not hook a single board unless I throw it 2 handed at 11 mph.

    As someone who likes the Deadly Aim, it would make sense to use this one for spares.
