Awesome Hook
« on: November 20, 2007, 02:09:25 AM »
I've got a customer that purchased an Awesome Hook last night.  He is going to stop by today to get it drilled.  He was bowling league last night and I went out to watch him bowl a few frames.  

The first thing I noticed is; his current ball is a scout reactive.  I immediately informed him that the Awesome Hook was WAY more aggressive than what he is throwing.  He said, he was trying to throw the Scout as slow as possible to get it to hook.  

So today I when he stops by, I gonna tell him to just roll the ball naturally and not worry about hitting the pocket.  I want to see what his "natural speed" will be.  He has fair fundamentals, considering he has only been bowling one season.  

Right off the bat, I'm thinking the "forward roll" or "control layout" for him.  I'd probably go with the control layout and I'm gonna have to change the 500 grit surface to 2000 or higher.  Anybody have good layout for a med rev, slower speed player?

What are his stats??? Tilt ball, speed, approx rev rate, pap. These are all important parts of drilling a Morich ball. I spent a week with Mo this year for a bowling camp in Ct and picked up alot of insight and some neat tricks. I have drilled about a dozen or so Hooks and the ball is amazing when layed out properly I have also seen some not layed out prperly and it is a disaster. If you can get me the stats I`ll help you with a layout if you like.

Its done, 5" pin to pap above fingers about 3 1/2 above the midline, 4" pap to mb.  


The first ball was left of the headpin.  We took the surface up to 2000 abralon and it was very nice.
