Question: How do I know if my new bowling ball is too strong or too weak?
A: If your ball hooks too much and misses the pocket or leaves splits, it is probably too strong for your style. If it goes straight with little hook even when you try to rotate your wrist, it may be too weak. Start with a medium strength ball and adjust: move to a stronger ball if you need more hook, or a weaker one if you are over-hooking. Test on the lanes and get advice from a pro shop.
