The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

Bowlers: This week's column will answer a question many bowlers ask about side weight .....will it make my ball hook?
The answer is absolutely no.
I have been fortunate to be able to spend some time with technical experts, and although we have suspected for quite some time, we not have the proof.
Two factors are needed to make a bowling ball hook....friction and rotation (gravity is also needed but I think that we all understand that or we would all be floating around.
You could take a bowling ball with the strongest weight block on the market, the most aggressive cover, drill it maximum leverage, add all the weight you want, and use a big balance hole, but, if the bowler does not impart proper rotation, ot if friction on the ball's path down the lanes is not there.....the ball will go straight.
