Right now your ball just goes straight and sails past the pocket, and nobody can tell you how to get that curve back. Your arm didn't lose your hook. A ball only bends when it's turning on its side and moving slow enough for the dry end of the lane to grab it. Lose either one, and it rolls dead straight, no matter how strong the arm. The ball, the grip, or the speed changed underneath you. Here are four ways to make it hook again after sixty, from amateur to pro, from forty years behind a small ball-shop counter in Ohio. Stop at whichever one gets your ball back to the pocket. At the end, what a throwing robot named after Earl Anthony proved about your hook. It costs you nothing. No new ball. No coach.

💬 Most bowling houses show your ball speed right on the scoring screen above your lane. What number shows up for you? Thirteen? Fourteen? Fifteen? Write it in the comments below, along with your age. I read every one, and I'd like to know who's out there getting their hook back.
