+1, Hooks with the Code core were pretty strong midlane from the 3 that I owned (Pearl, Polished Solid, Hybrid). I never experienced any hits that were like a wet noodle on the Hooks. With the new Boost, the core from the Wisdom is smoother and creates less midlane read. They are close specs wise, but after having around 10 games on a new Boost Hybrid, I am seeing generally more length and a smoother, predictable backend motion. Pin carry has been anything but weak with the Boost. I think so far the Boost is a great ball for transition. Just my .02 cents.
