Columbia 300 Blue Dot, or Brunswick Power Groove (Merlot/Gold)?


I’m a beginner bowler, and i just started Bowling with a hook (about 3 weeks ago), should i get a Columbia blue dot (and yea i know it won’t hook, but some people said that it would be good to have a plastic ball with the proper drilling for my hand so i can make my hook better before going to a reactive), or should i get a Power Grove. (some say i could handle it but some say its better to get a plastic) I also throw a pretty good straight ball as well, in all of my best games(my best being a 155), i was throwing a straight ball. I would really like a good outside opinion. Btw with a straight ball i average about 120, and with a hook ball i average about 97(with a 12ib house ball) Also, what type of drilling should i get for my ball? should i get a finger-tip, semi finger-tip, or conventional grip? Thanks in advance.

if your starting out i would stick with blue dot and have it drilled conventional until you learn to throw the ball a bit better
that way you will learn to control the ball more

and after a year or so then go to finger tip .. but when you do that there will be another learning curve
