hey ive been bowling for almost a year now. when i first was bowling casually just having fun i was bowling straight but when i bought my first ball ( an ebonite maxum) i started to learn 2 hook by myself. it was really hard because the ball wasnt really designed to hook much. ive just bought a storm hot rod bowling ball. the first 2 weeks i was getting really great hook out of it and was scoring way more games over 200 scratch. i was standing on the 32 board and aiming for about the 20 board. then i got a little coaching and have now changed where i am standing. i no stand at the 27 board and hit the 15 board when releasing. i scored my highest game 238 with this. then the next week i found i had completely no hook and my ball was going straight. i presume it was because the lanes are to oily. i havent been getting a very good hook any more now. is it something to do with how i am bowling or is it just the way the lanes are being oiled? i watch other bowlers in my league and they seem to hook fine. any help is really appreciated. thank you.
