what bowling ball is less reactive than a freeze?

i have three bowling balls.
A Ebonite Magic touch, an Columbia After Shock, and a Columbia Freeze. The After shock is a 16 pound ball and the other two are 15 pounds. When i throw my magic (right handed) my left foot stands on the middle dot in the very back and my right foot is directly to the right of it. i roll the ball out to second arrow, and it carries out about 2-3 boards and then it begins to hook. My magic is my most reactive ball and can hook enough to drive the pocket. now im looking for a ball that is less reactive then my freeze. Because when i throw the same shot with my magic and my freeze on a very little oil pattern, my freeze hooks more than my magic. im looking for a less reactive ball for the real dry conditions. HELP PLEASE

You could look at any of the Vibe series by Hammer, or if this is still too strong, there are some options in urethane out there. Urethane covers are more predictable and more even hooking than today’s reactive equipment, but you could lose some carry percentage due to having less back end and entry angle to the pocket.

Unless you can really torque the ball on release (and if you don’t naturally, don’t start), plastic would be out of the question imho.

That’s really all the info I can give you without actually seeing you roll. Good Luck.
