Question:
Can you roll a straight ball ?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hello Lynda! I wouldn't recommend this for throwing straight ball. Performance balls like this are really meant for being able to hook the ball. I would recommend purchasing a plastic/spare ball for that. You can find those here: https://www.bowling.com/shopping/all/bowling-balls/plastic-balls

Question:
has anyone tried compound or polish to see the reaction
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hello! Adding a polish to this ball would make it travel further down the lane before it starts hooking and will make it less aggressive overall. The ball will have more of a snap on the backend instead of the more continuous arc it has out of the box.
