What condition gives the most hook potential if all else is equal?
Radius of Gyration higher or lower?

Just because I didn't answer the question, doesn't mean that I can't ... or that I won't; just stating my opinion and watching the replies.
 BTW, have you tried to do any research or are you looking for opinions ???

Differential is an indicator of track flare POTENTIAL in a bowling ball; the more flare created by the core, the more hook potential for given coverstock.
 
RG is the measurement that tells us the core's impact on the skid potential of the ball; it identifies how fast a ball begins to rotate once it leaves the bowler's hand. Three designations for RG balls are low, medium, and high. A high RG ball goes longer because it takes longer to begin rotating and stores its energy on dryer conditions. A low RG ball revs up early and is a more evenly arcing ball used on wetter conditions.

BTW ... here's some reading homework for ya; VERY good stuff, I may add.
