Getting back to the lanes
Posted: December 29th, 2017, 8:45 pm
Hello,
New here.
I'm getting back to the lanes after a 17 year hiatus. Everything has changed. I'm so lost now.
I am hoping for some help with a new ball. I have a new spare ball, TZone that I really like. I used to be very successful throwing this ball for everything, but now the lanes are different, the oil is different, the ball is really only good for spares. I need a ball that will hook a bit, but not force me to completely change how I roll.
I'm female, 51, RH, 11# right now but working back up to a 13# (shoulder injuries from playing roller derby) roll a pretty straight ball. handshake release.
In the late 1990s, I had a 186 average. Try to get it back again, rolled 4 games today with the
highest being a 159, so it's coming.
I need advice. Please. I'm looking at the Black Window and the Nitrous.
With a handshake release, will either of those give me the gentle hook I'm looking for?
So much new stuff to learn now. I'm overwhelmed and just want to roll a ball in league play and not embarrass myself too much. I have no idea what my rev is or even how fast my ball goes down the lane.
Can you all help? Is there a better ball for me than the two mentioned above? I'm looking at 12 pounds now and when I'm able, can move to 13#
Thank you all. I appreciate any help you can give me.
