I answered one of your questions, i don't know much about other companies stuff as far as how much overall hook they have. I would say that my opinion is that it will outhook anything else. And if you are just looking for the STRONGEST BALL IN THE WORLD, you should learn more about the game first.
And platinum, if a lane has massive amounts of oil in the fronts and a ton of carrydown, you need to find a new bowling center that strips and then oils. Because the only way you get a ton of carrydown is when the oil up front moves to the back of the lane after numerous games, that is carrydown. But good luck finding what you're looking for.
