without seeing you bowl its hard to say but it doesn't sound like the ball is the problem. if the ball reacts one way one throw and reacts completely different another throw I'm sorry to say but its you and not the ball.

also why are you SCREAMING AND YELLING? typing in all capitals is considered RUDE and is interpreted as someone screaming and yelling. you're better off typing in all lower case if you're lazy about utilizing your shift key. you wont get many people to respond if you keep typing like that. wink

Hmmmmmmm 1st it sounds like your timings off...always keep your approuch an arm swing in the same rythem... stand 3 boards to the left of the middle dot an aim at the second arrow.....then see where your balls travels..... an go from there... if it hooks 2 much... put a shine on it smile

Dogbone is right for the most part your timing is probably off. But that may not be entirely the case. If the lanes have some heavy or spotty carrydown than the Ti gold-black pearl will react very unpredictable. Determine what it is your timing or is there some heavy or spotty carrydown on the lanes. I am doubting that there is heavy or spotty carydown only because it is rare to see that nowadays. The only way it's possible is if plastic balls have been thrown all day long and the lanes haven't been stripped in a while. If carrydown is the problem well than my friend you have selected the wrong ball for the condition. Work on your mechanics and get a coach if it's your timing.
