How can I get my curve to go away?

Every time I bowl, I seem to have a curve which makes the ball spin a different direction. It annoys me and I don't know how to stop it!

    Hmm, maybe try a different grip. Many bowlers make the mistake of holding it with thier thumb, pointer finger, and middle. You actually should hold it with your pointer, middle, and ring finger. But if you still have a curve you can try to use it to your advantage by trying to find out here it curves, then maybe move to the opposite side and it might go to the middle

    3. ive never heard of that before it sounds to hard and it would defeat the purpose of have a highly reactive ball

    Well... when i try to flatten (make the ball go straight) the ball all i do is keep my hand straight. But what kind of ball do you have? If it is highly reactive it may help a little but not necesarily make it go totally straight.

    I would recommend a "Robbi" it is a wrist brace that will force your hand to stay straight instead of forcing your hand over top of the ball. In which case is a common mistake of bowlers. and the do not notice it.
