What I think is most fun is making it spin like crazy. I put just my first knuckle of my ring and middle fingers in the ball with my thumb out and just torque it. It'll ride the lip of the lane then come back and gutter ball on the opposite side. It makes me giggle h:

not hard to hit 150, 210 high, but average was 117-- if i took it seriously i could have brought the average up, but i'd play impaired in multiple different ways-- sprained stuff, up all night, other stuff

I bowl without using my thumb on my first shot, when going for spares i put the thumb back in to straighten the ball out
high game is 267 avg is around 180. I bowl in a fun league sunday nights during the winter.

My equipment is Dexter SST4 shoes, a 15lb Ebonite Crossfire drilled conservatively for a later break, and a Blade hammer drilled agressively that will hook like a champ. I tend to use the Hammer more because it is the ball i have had longer and am more used to reaction.
