This ball is low on the hooking end but does it roll great. On a fresh house shot this ball got thru the lane smoothly and was very smooth off the corner, this ball will work on fresh and should be able to be used thru a full 3 game set even when the lanes break down. All in all this is def going to be a go to ball from the start.

I drilled my Desert Hook with 1/2 side 1/2 finger and took it out on the lanes after a four person league and a little open play. To say the lanes were fried would be an understatement, my son is left handed and was throwing a polished Vixen that would not hold pocket. The Desert hook got down the lane and carried with ease, I went 238, 237, 257 for a nice 732 and a request from my son to drill him one.  This will be a great ball when the lanes dry out and everything else hooks to much. Good Luck and keep hitting them hard JMD878.

Someone FINALLY made a dry lane ball that doesn't go 50 feet and snap off the planet!  It's the Desert Hook!  Awesome release from 900 Global.  Drilled me simple as can be right over the label, pin up 5" from PAP.  Reminds me of an old school pearl urethane reaction.  Skids forever and rolls, yes rolls up to the pocket.  The color scheme is great, the length this ball gives is FAB and it hits super hard.  This one begging for fried conditions.  I was impressed with the length, letting go back right with no over reaction at all.  A must for dry lanes.

Drilled 50 x 4 x 40

Smooth off the end of the pattern is something that ever light oil ball should be.  the Desert Hook lets you stay a bit closer to the Track when the lanes have really blown open.  Hitting power for such a low diff ball is amazing and carry has not be an issue as long as you use it when there is a defined dry area on the lane to hook it off. 

This ball has save a few sets for me when the lanes just seem to be hooking too much for anything else in my bag I can still go to the Desert Hook and send the ball down lane knowing it will not over hook and still have something left when it gets to the pocket.

Drill Pattern: 65*x5 x20*

Length: Easy Length built into this ball and even more added by the layout. It clears the fronts and midlane even when they start to burn a bit.

Volume: Medium or Less ONLY....this ball is not meant for heavy volume.  Bowlers with slower speeds and higher revs might be able to use it on the heavier side of medium.

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): I have used this ball on burned out house patterns and have practiced with it on well used sport patterns


COMMENTS: Those bowlers that like the smooth motion that urethane gives you, but hate how poorly they carry when you have to move in too much, this ball is going to be heaven for you.

Likes: I like this length and predictable breakpoint shape. And let me tell you, this ball pounds the pocket harder than most other companies highend equipment.

Dislikes: OIL. If you have a good amount of volume there are better choices to pick from, such as the HARD DRIVE.

Drill my Desert Hook with pin under bridge. Gotta love this ball when the heads go,this ball clears the heads with ease. Played straight up 5 on a house shot never missed the pocket and only had to move 3 boards almost unheard of these days.Great color combination of the copper and blue makes this ball a great piece of equipment going down the lane. Great ball for at the end of tournaments when nothing gets down the lane this ball will. It reminds me of a urethane ball on wood,smooth and controlable. This is a great addition to the hook line. Thanks 900Global for another great product.

The Desert Hook is just what it says it is, a true dry lane ball. This piece will bail you out when there are shorter patterns/blown up THS conditions. The best thing about it is that it goes through the pins well. Be sure to match it up on the proper condition because if there is carry down/oil it will not turn the corner. Great dry lane piece
