Bowling Ball Pin Out Placement

Looking for Skid/Flip bowling ball?
I am 21. I average 182. I throw with a lot of hand. I have a habit of throwing a bowling ball with front control and not much skid and flip in the back end of the lane (Hy-road). I have been having trouble adjusting during league. I am looking for a ball with a lot of skid and flip. Also, what pin placement will I be required to have drilled?
I would appreciate any suggestions on a bowling ball that can accomplish this.
Thank you.
The Casey ball is good..

I am doing a paper on the Physics of Bowling. What should I include?
I'm doing a research paper. I know that I will discuss friction, kinetic and potential energy, including things like the different coverstocks and cores of a bowling ball. I will also talk about centers of gravity, RG, and pin placement on the ball. I'll also include a brief comment about lanes (the different reactions from synthetic to wood). What else should I focus on both physics wise and bowling ball wise? Thanks.
One of the key things to look at is the transition from sliding to pure rolling. Oil is applied to a portion of the lanes and causes the friction to be different at different portions of the lane. The following is a paper from the American Journal of Physics that might be helpful:
Cliff Frohlich, "What Makes Bowling Balls Hook?", AJP, Vol. 72, # 9, Sept. 2004, p. 1170.
