House ball? Rented shoes?
Never made any progress until I got my own equipment. Finger tip drilled ball, I have a "Hammer" but I'm sure there's better balls on the market. Good well fitting shoes that let you slide also important, IMHO.
Then practice, practice and more practice. Those marks near the foul line are important. For me, personally, I like to pass just to the right of the second mark from the right hand gutter. If I do it right the ball follows the gutter closely until about 2/3 of the way down the lane. Then it begins to hook left hitting the pocket between the 1 and 3 pins.
But you have to find what works for you. The best bowler I ever bowled with started way left and rolled the ball directly at the right hand gutter. His ball would hook near mid lane. That guy could be drunk off his ass and roll a 225.
So find what works for you. But most important of all is have fun.
