I was watching one of the ESPN Classic reairs featuring Pete Weber. He was using a Thunder Road and playing em deep. I noticed the layout was pin slightly right and below ring, with the cg in the track. It appeared to have to hook/set. It seemed like it allowed him to use his high axis rotation with have the ball hook and continue through once it hooked.

I was thinking of drilling a Toxic or Vibe, or even a Neptune. Either way, I'm thinking the layout should be a hook/set or something with a 6" pin to pap and zero to slightly neg side weight.

Any luck with those layouts?

To recap, I was looking for something to give me a hook set when the lanes developed a early hook spot or track area.

My normal league was cancelled due to weather conditions. This center is located about 15 miles outside Spokane. So, I called up my coach/friend, knowing that they needed a sub tonight. I used my Bite all 3 games.

In game 3, the lanes transitioned and a torched spot developed at 10/11 board at approx 37 feet. I was able to achieve the aggressive motion with a hook stop reaction by moving left and extending my pinky finger out, thus causing the ball to read earlier and be smoother on the back. By doing so, the ball would hook and setup, holding pocket. I was able to salvage a decent series (672) even with a sub par last game.

Is there really a hook and set drill for every ball, for every oil pattern and for every release,
OR
is it more a matter of the combination of the drill, the bowler's release, the bowler's ball speed and the oil pattern on which he's playing that provides the hook & set ball reaction??

Charlest I usually get that type of hoot set reaction with low degree layouts and further pin to pap locations. Basically like a 5 by 2 layout.

Of course this all depends on the factors you mentioned above.

I hit my Bite with 2000 Abralon and the reaction and carry was twice as good once the friction developed.
