Ok, in the line up as of Right now, as of today, there is nothing like the bugrand hammer. That ball is a urathane cover with the classis hammer core which is in the Blade line. As of a few months ago, there was a ball, the Pure Hammer, which was a blend of urathane and reactive cover with the calssic hammer core, which would be comprable. Just recently, this ball was discontinued, but you can prob still find it. IF you want to wait, in jun/july there is a new Pure hammer release that is just like the Burgandy hammer you have, same color, same core, and the specs will be similar.

For your second question, the way the ball hooks has to do with the bowler first, and the drilling second. The bowler has to know the proper way to throw the ball to create teh revolutions needed to "hook" the ball. After the bowler learns this, then you drill a ball to hook to your needs. Example, you need a heavy oil ball, then you drill teh ball to hook sooner, and the opposite if you are on a light oil lane.
