Question: Do I need a fingertip grip or conventional grip?

Answer:

Most adult bowlers who want to develop a hook should use a fingertip grip (fingers inserted only to the first knuckle). Beginners and very young bowlers often start with a conventional grip (fingers to the second knuckle) because it feels more secure. Once you are comfortable bowling regularly, switching to a fingertip grip with your own reactive ball is highly recommended.
