I try to make my ball hook by coming over the top of the ball. Is there anything that I can do to help this problem? I am a right handed bowler using the Ebonite Angular One bowling ball.

Actually the hook is easily developed with hand position and the release. You do not need to roll over the top of the ball. You could change to a fingertip grip. As the ball comes off, your thumb releases first. Then as your fingertips flip out on the release it generates the rotation you are looking for. The amount of hook will be determined by the angle your hand takes upon release.

You need to use your fingers in the holes. Then, you roll the ball down the lane and try to knock over all the pins. (the pins are the white things at the bottom)
Good Luck
