Do I need to dull my bowling ball to give it more hook?

I do not think that you need to dull your ball to give it more hook. From my experience bowling, it is all in how you throw the ball and what you do with your wrist. In addition, the type of ball and how the weight is loaded into the ball will help with giving you more hook.

No. Hook will come from the composition of the weight block located inside the bowling ball, proper release, and the composition of the finish. Whether you dull your bowling ball or shine it will really not affect the hook to much extent.
