Site saying that the Raging Inferno has a low hook?¿!i?

This site says that that Raging Inferno only has a 52/100 Total hook!

Am I wrong in saying that this is by far the least accurate overview of the Raging Inferno ever seen?

No. You are not right.  It's a PDF of the BTM review, which is actually pretty accurate.  The 52 is a fairly high number -- and it is described as a ball for heavy oil.

but, it is compared to "super hookers".... wha ball is considered a "super hooker" I thought that the warp zone or ult. inf. were the biggest hooking balls out there..... but I am lead to believe otherwise.

It also said that the Throttle has a higher hook rating 56/100

I have not found the Raging Inferno to be a "big hooking" ball. I find it to be fairly weak in heavy oil, and on medium oil or when it hits any dry it tends to burn up quick. For me, it's a good medium/heavy sport shot ball when the shot requires a tight line. For any other shot or condition, I have other balls that work better. On heavy oil, the Ultimate or Warp Zone out hook the Raging. On medium oil, all of my reactives outhook it. It's a great ball for hi speed / hi-rev players, but not for my 'average speed' and 'average revs'.
