Question:


Why do you say this is a straight ball? I have bowled with it and had no problems making it hook.

11/19/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


This ball does not have any features that help give this ball hook potential. The coverstock is not designed to hook and the weight block is not designed to help the ball hook. So the hook that you may get on this is if the lanes are lighter oil to drier conditions and/or if you have a high rev rate then you may get some movement on this.

Question:


My local pro shop does not give guarantees on 6lb balls and I have had 2 that cracked. I use 6 lb balls since I am a 5ft senior citizen. Do you have a warranty on 6 lb balls.

3/1/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Unfortunately 6lb balls are starting to not have warranties if the ball has adult drilling. The 8lb ball will be covered under warranty and have a much better chance of not cracking but 6lbs are less dense and more likely to crack.

Question:


How to determine what size you need ball drilled

9/24/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


If we offer drilling on the weight you need then you may click the "?" beside the drilling option to pull up a size chart. The size chart will show you the measurements for the hole size which is the diameter of the hole and then the span which is the distance from the finger hole to the thumb hole.
