A hook in ten-pin bowling is a ball that rolls in a curving pattern (as opposed to straight). The purpose of the hook is to give the ball a better angle at the 1-3 pocket (right-handers) or 1-2 pocket (left-handers.) to achieve a strike. When a ball is rolled straight, hitting the pocket must be precise.
Bowling centers maintain bowling shoes for rental to patrons, to prevent damage to lane approaches. The sole of the non-sliding shoe is generally made of rubber for traction, while the sole of the sliding shoe is made of a smooth material allowing a smooth slide into the release. Bowling shoes can be bought, and may be rented from bowling centers.
A conventional roll of the bowling ball will enter the 1-3 pocket, and continue to roll from right-to-left (right-hander.) The ball only contacts four pins (1, 3, 5 and 9 pins) to achieve a strike. This type of roll/hit applies to strokers, power strokers and crankers. A conventional bowling form is the most commonly used method in 10-pin bowling.
