OOB the trap has an RA(grip in oil) of
6.6 - TRAP
the corner OOB condition as well has an RA of
10.8 - Corner
the corners overall surface is between 1000 and 2000 abralon or a rating of 7
the trap a 4.
If you planed to hit the ball with surface it would be a slightly weaker ball in both cover and core (cover 8 , core 7) vs the corners (cover 9, core 9)!
ANOTHER WORDS - just use Hammer''s FCC rating. It tells you exactly how strong the ball will be and to me it''s really accurate. It''s about time you can see the RA value of each ball! WAY to go HAMMER!
If you want a ball that NEEDS oil and has backend AND continuation then the corner is a no brainer especially considering you wont have to alter the surface.
Personally when I see oil I have complete confidence that my corner WILL hook. as a matter of fact I''''m usually laughing when others pull out their heavy stuff as there isnt even close to enough oil to use my corner. Love the jigsaw corner.
