Since drilling pin in PAP takes the core out of consideration for reaction (at least that's what I remember), which current coverstock is the weakest?

I would guess it is either Storm's Breeze or Columbia's Deep Freeze but this is why I am asking.

I am one of those bowlers that can hook a regular tropical breeze across the lane.  Tons of revs, and not a ton of speed.  I am good at it, not needing to learn to take hand out of the ball.  I have plenty of urethane including a 90's pink hammer and a XXXL when I need it.

I have a older hammer reaper 2 drilled pin in PAP that works great on slightly tighter lanes and sport shots, but I am looking for something below that coverstock wise.

Thanks for the opinions in advance.

I have the XXXL spare ball with a Core already.  Wanting the weakest reactive coverstock.  I had a pearl avalanche but it cracked.

So is the plastic with the core just not enough?  Any reactive is going to hook a decent amount on dry but putting the pin on the axis will take the core out of the ball and stop any flare.  You would only be rolling on the same oil ring all the way down the lane.   If you want something truly weak it is going to be hard to find with today's reactive covers.  Most companies lower line "weaker" covers were the strong covers of a few years ago. Almost all of them will hook a ton off of friction, as you know with the storm breezes.

If you are looking at older stuff there are plenty of choices going back through the years.  If you are looking at current stuff and not looking for any urethane or urethane mix then according to BTM the Brunswick Strike King is listed as one of the weakest hooking balls with a lot of length.  We have a lot of people throwing them on the scorched shot at one house I bowl at.  The ball still does hook though.  I imagine with no flare it should be pretty weak though.

I think the slingshot was a weaker ball though and might be a better choice if you can find one.  I preferred the slingshot over the Tropical breezes and storms.

Have you tried neo-tacs control it or Glide?  I have used the control it and it definitely kills the reaction on a ball. I used this on a Slingshot that was still hooking too much.

I have had success with a Brunswick Avalance Urethane.  Seemed to get down the lane better than the typical Urethanes and made a smooth move to the pocket.  Going to try out the Rebel Tank as well. That is the same cover as the Arctic sniper so you could go with a sniper as well since you are looking for no flare.
The motiv Ascent pearls are really clean from what I have seen.  I just got mine so I haven't tried it on a ton of conditions but it seemed pretty weak. Might still be too strong for what you are looking for.

I think the Motiv Recon RX1 silver was one of their really weak balls.  It is listed as one of the weakest reactives on BTM.

If you can get your hands on a Lane #1 Bullet, that is the weakest reactive I've ever seen...I got mine from Charlest(Jeff) some years back and I use it as my spare ball on those non league occasions that I need a spare ball--it is that mild--but it does hit extremely hard.
