Just picked mine up this week. This ball does still have some hooking power due to the coverstock. I was actually surprised how much it did have on our fresh house shot.
Moved around, played some different lines with it. I ended up moving way right, and it fed to the pocket. The carry is amazing for a pancake block. When I played the line I'd normally play with my BW Solid, it was hit and miss, and accuracy was a premium.
Great ball in the Hammer line. You throw a bad shot, and you won't have the "recovery" area like a ball with a bigger core. But it's apples and oranges there though.
