 Bowling equipment stolen.  I need advice on replacement
				
				
						
							
							
						
						
				
					
						
							Hi all, I'm new to this forum and I need some help.  A couple of weeks ago, my car was broken into and my bowling bag was stolen.  Inside were my two balls, my shoes, and my lucky (debatable) towel.  I know, I shouldn't have had them outside....
Beyond leaving my stuff outside I also don't use my thumb when I throw.  I just never have.  I've been in leagues now for about 6 years and have around a 200 average.  I'm pretty happy with where I am and have a consistent throw despite the lack of thumb.  Anyway, I need help replacing my main ball.
I threw a 16lb old urethane Hammer, dark blue almost violet.  I've found I like the urethane as the new balls hook too much and with the Hammer I had a really nice gradual curve.  I only throw around 14 MPH and put a lot of spin on the ball.  When I throw the reactive resin I normally hit between the 2-4 pin.  I've tried adjusting my stance, adding power, and decreasing my spin, but I can't establish anything consistent.  I'm open to using a newer ball as long as I can control it.  My bowling center keeps the lanes pretty dry (most days).
I don't know specific stats for ball performance or my throwing style.  I can say I'm a righty, I stand with my right foot between the 2nd-3rd dot (3rd being middle).  My aim is at the arrow just right of center and usually breaks at the second furthest to the right arrow about 60-65% down the lane.  Like I said, it is very gradual and doesn't break hard late or anything.  I'm open to all suggestions.  I used my friend's Storm Trauma and it hooked way too much to give you a reference.  Thanks in advance.

							Well if you like urethane balls, I'd say stick to that.. The Storm Natural or the Hammer Blue Hammer are good current options in the urethane range

							I agree with Drano. Also the Natural Pearl is a great urethane choice (actually a better choice for higher rev bowlers).
