I use a Raven R, old ball, but it does me well, except I always seem to leave the 7 or 11. I throw a straight ball with almost deadly precision on the spares. I have a slight hook at the end the ball does naturally which I have trying to use to my advantage. Basically I am an amatuer with a 165 average. I need a new ball, any suggestions for a good ball with lots of pin action for the rare breed of straight throwers??

the company u should be looking at.. one of my teamates just bought a killer instinct sanded. and he throws pretty straight with a lil hook in the backend .and lemme tell u it hit real hard. he throes fast though.so if ur not a power bowler u might wanna look at a different ball cause the killer instinct hooks alot .
but i think ebonite is the way to go for a big hit

that ball is bomb... ive drilled 3 for myself... all with different layouts...
i can get the ball to circle the lane... or stop... and it hits like a tank!!!!
i live in washington... and whenever i make a trip to a tourney in oregon those are basically the only 3 i bring with!!!

2 strikes & the rest spares is a 200 game.... Deadly precision?
Basically what I'm trying to get at here is that you probably don't need another ball.
Also, everything thats been suggested to you above could be completely wrong. You simply haven't provided enough info for anyone to give an accurate suggestion.
We need to know relatively how much oil there is on the lane, how fast you throw, and if there is any side turn to the ball, how much & how many revs.
Without that info I could reccommend anything from a plastic spare ball to the strongest particle & it might or might not work.
