TwitterI took up bowling 2 years ago and played on a league at only 1 bowling alley. I never bowled anywhere else. I worked up my average to 179. I throw a HUGE hook, I start at the furthest dot on the left and throw my ball to the 3-5 board and bring it into the pocket. I moved to Chicago and bowl in a REALLY old bowling alley with wood lanes and hardly any oil. My ball keeps hooking into the gutter even before it hits the pins. I keep trying to hook the ball less but it feels uncomfortable. I really like my ball ( 15 lbs. Tropical Storm – had surface sanded for max grip) I love the way its drilled and I don’t want a new ball. Could I have my ball refurfaced so that it slides on the lane and I could still use my massive hook. Its the way I feel comfortable throwing the ball. I am now using a 14 lbs. Brunswick plastic ball and dumping my thumb out to get min. hook. Thanks for any help!
BOWLING – I need to know if I can resurface my ball for another league I joined in another bowling alley?

My bowling team members and I have had Columbia Messengers resurfaced. I think it is legal for any brand. The pro shops resurface bowling balls all the time. If there is a pro shop at your bowling center, ask about it.

you can have any ball resurfaced..i also bowl in house that has wood lanes…and i throw a mean hard hook…my suggestion to you is to ask the proshop if they have any used balls they would sell you.it would be cheaper than a new one. .and have it waxed up so it won’t hook that much…also if you want less hook try this..hold your fingers closer together..i to am looking to by a new ball ..but i am going to have to make do also i want something that is more agressive…good luck and good bowling
