Right now I have the BWP and I'm looking into getting a new ball. I think I want a ball with more length than what I currently have. If you guys have some suggestions please feel free to suggest them!


Well if you have not had your Black Widow Pearl repolished it could be hooking earlier then it used to. A touch up at the Pro Shop may help it go a bit longer.

You picked a strong ball. If its hooking across the head pin, then you need to move at least your feet, probably both your feet and target. The Cell is probably grabbing quite a bit earlier and losing energy therefore ending up more in the pocket, but not necessarily with sufficient energy for consistent striking.

Hi Erin,

I understand that your Pro Shop is in the Southern California area. I live in Palmdale & work in North Hollywood. Would you send me your shop's name & address to HansardLaws@gmail.com. CoachJim is too far away and at some point here I would like to get bowling lessons from someone that is not against forward pitch in the thumb.

if your going brook alot, then move over about 3 bds to the left throwing to the same target or move your target 2-3bds to the right standing the same spot. If you see your ball starting to work before you want it, then you need to move left with your feet. Learn to work the corners of the lane and that ball should be able to hold alot of power coming off the corners to carry nice pin action.
