take the anger to a higher grit and it will out backend the vibe... depending on the drilling. Mine tends to have too much backend and snap sometimes and that is with a 4 inch pin to pap when I normally through 5 1/2 inch pins on my stuff. I was impressed with the Anger out of the box. It got down the lane and had more snap then I thought it would have.
I understand what you are saying about the ANGER and not hooking. I bought some heavy oil balls that I thought would hook the lane (Anger, Fury, Cell, Visionary Immortal Solid) I've learned these balls do not cover tons of boards and they don't have the big angular backend. I'm not sure what they do to tell you the truth.. They move early, move in mid, and then creep to the pocket. I think you will find balls like this useful when the lanes are truly oily, long, and no clean backend or wall to make your vibe hook. Heavy, early rolling balls give a different look and angle to the pocket. I'm all about skid flip but when I threw my Anger out of the box it was a beast. The ball seemed to carry everything.. light, heavy, pocket... with my skid flip stuff my ball had to be just the right angle and pocket postition or I was leaving a 4,8,9 or 10. I feel I get away with alot more with my cell, anger and other balls like them..
What is considered "HOOK" . I consider hook covering the most boards on a given lane condition. And with clean backends the Vibe will cover more boards than alot of balls.
