First tip, get a ball for a lefty and let dad have his back. Borrow one if need be to get that 200 to get your own.
I average 150 and I bowl with two fingers,
I'd be more than glad to get some good tips and criticism. I know the 2 finger bowling approach isn't a "good one" in most eyes, but personally I love it since that is the way I have always learned to bowl. I am left handed, and I use my index finger and middle finger to throw the ball, as I said earlier I do not use my thumb. My highest game is 189 and I was a strike away from a 200, my dad said when I get a 200 he would buy me my own bowling ball and bowling shoes. Here is a video on detail on how I hold the ball, and what it's features are, thank you everyone for taking your time on reading this, and enjoy your day.

God gave me a thumb, so I'm using it. It would seem to me you're fighting the natural tendency of the ball to move since it's drilled for a righty.
First place to start is.
If your going to use two fingers, at least put the proper fingers in the holes. Use the middle and ring fingers, this will at least balance the weight of the ball in your hand.
Using the index and middle fingers, half the weight if the ball is hanging off the side of your hand.

I will do that soon,
What do you average when you go bowl?
Putting the proper fingers in the holes is not just about holding the weight of the ball. Using the the index and middle fingers will reduce the rev's, the leverage you apply and change the tilt and rotation of the ball. Not to mention you'll restrict the amount of changes you can make with your release, to affect the balls motion.
Then couple that with being a left hander and using a ball drilled for someone else and a right hander. Your not going to get the optimum performance out of the ball.
Given if your using one of your dads old balls, ask him to at least have it plugged and redrilled to fit you and layed out for a left hander.
This will give you a chance to work out any fit problems and Also make sure to use the the right fingers so you can establish a pap for throwing that way
before getting "your own ball"
If you use a pap from throwing it with the index and middle fingers for the layout, then change to the other fingers later the pap will be way off in regards to the layout.
