Condition for a hook/set layout
« on: December 21, 2009, 01:03:35 AM »
Hey all I have a Rogue Cell drilled 45*x4"x30* and an 11/16" hole 1-1/2" deep 2" down my VAL.  This layout gives me a hook/set layout but I'm having a hard time finding a condition for this layout.  However, I don't know if it's more than line I'm playing than it is the condition.  I know this is a layout that favors oil but do I need to play a tighter inside line?  It seems like if I swing it a bit (over 15 at the arrows with a BP around 10) it just flattens out.  It looks as if there is no recovery but I don't think that's it, once hit hits the end of the patter it goes into a heavy roll.  

What lane condition do you guys use a hook and set layout on and what kind of line do you play?  Thanks for any help.

A hook set reaction is best used when the outsides are dry and your ball overhooks when you're swinging the ball. It could be any line as long as there's dry to the outside of where you're lining up. =:^D

I agree completely with T-GOD in this case. The hookset is a great reaction for controlling the lanes, one thing to note is a lot of times when playing the lanes that way you need to shift you pocket a little higher than normal to get carry, this is all from personal experience but its a bit harder to carry a corner with this reaction as the ball isn't driving as hard at the deck.
