    That bowling ball is excellent for medium to oily lane conditions. Actually all of the Faball/Hammer Black Widow bowling balls are great for anyone’s arsenal.

    I had the bowling ball drilled semi/relaxed fingertip, so that I could get maximum revs, pin below the ring finger and 1/8 in. negative pitch in the thumbhole for easier release. My bowling style has medium revolutions for a straighter line down to about midway down the lane, then an aggressive hook into the 1-3 pocket.

    I really love the look and action of the ball, plus it’s very forgiving even when you deliver it lousy and it seems to “remember” it’s way to the pocket. After I got it drilled out, my first game was a 243 and averaged about 227 that practice session. Good luck!
