my cousin is getting rid of all her old balls b/c she's moving up in weight. She's giving most of them to her sister but she said I could have one of them.

How can I tell which ball will work better for me?

What balls are available and what can you tell us about your bowling style?

She has the equation, the total NV, and the game breaker. But she said the total NV very rarely works so I don't want that one. I don't throw with much hook. lately I've been stanining on 7 or 8 and throwing up nine in both my leagues. But those are both sportshot. They're the same shot, but I'm not sure which pattern. During the year I would normally stand around ten sometimes left, somtimes right depending on the conditions and throw between 5 and 10 depending on the conditions.

I don't know much about it but a guy in our league was using the gamebreaker on the shark and killing the pocket

You should probably get the Gamebreaker, it hooks the most in oil out of those, and I believe it would hook a little more than your Anger too. I don't know much about the Equation but I imagine it's not as strong as the Toxic. So it comes down to whether you want a stronger ball or a weaker ball than what you have.

take whatever you can get your hands on, redrill and resurface it for your style. They all have good cores to work with. The plug,redrill and resurface will cost about 60-80 bucks pending your Pro Shop. Either way it's less then half you'd put into a new ball.
