My Complete NV will outhook any ball on the lanes! I throw both the Black Widow solid and the CNV, I hook the CNV about 6-7 boards more than I have ever gotten out of my Widow! The Resurgance is a good hooker too, but I still think my CNV is better. Also, I heard from the guy at my pro shop that he has drilled 4 of them, and they are horrible! They soak up WAY TOO MUCH oil and they die out in 60 games or less!
