The vast majority of League bowlers throw the ball "old style" and I guarantee they mostly use the new balls. I know that I can get the ball to hook more or less by the way I throw it.
What would yo say the average age of league bowlers would be? I would guess over 40 most work more hours than they used to. They don't have time to learn how to use the new style of bowling. New style bowlers don't slide. They have very high back swings. That is hard to do with bad knees, legs, back and old age.
Remember all lanes are not equal. Wood vrs. synthetic. Different oil patterns.
Yes bowlers can make the new balls hook more or less. That general statement was what my problem was. I am sure you know a lot about bowling and how to coach but blanket statements are silly.
