A few questions for the more knowledgeable bowlers. Right now I just play with a house ball, but I'm thinking about buying a ball. Right now I just roll the ball straight ahead, I don't know how to make it hook. My average speed is around 17 mph. I want a ball that will work with my current style and let me learn how to hook the ball like good bowlers do. What would I look for in a ball, and how do I know what they mean by a dry lane, or medium or oily lane? I generally use a 14 pound ball in my league because that is what the lanes I bowl at have, but I have bowled at other places with 15 and 16 pound balls comfortably. Would I be better off going with a heavier ball like a 15 or 16 pounder or staying with a 14 pounder or even a lighter ball while I'm learning how to hook a ball?
