The Hawg would handle the most oil, easily.

thanx guys and wat is what this pattern with going on with Hammer and Columbia the Action hooks way more than the Action Packed and u see the the situation with the Hawgs. Why are these companies going backwards with hook and trading it for length and backend?

It's a trend, a fad, really common with bowling balls. Sometimes its the ball that will hook on soup, sometimes its the most aggressive reactive ball, and so on.

This trend kinda started with the Storm Paradigm and The One. Coverstock technology is getting a lot of spotlight these days. A medium-heavy oil ball can now be a pearl reactive (or highly polished reactive). The One is ridiculously popular and has a ton of backend, which catches a lot of peoples eyes. Now everyone is trying to market a ball like that. Also, these less hook balls are more versatile. Joe Bowler may be starting to see that heavy load particle balls aren't where his money should be going.

I would think you see that because alot of people go to buy a ball and what do they want(or think they want)? The ball that hooks the most. So they buy the ball that hooks the most and then relize they can't control all that hook. So then they do one of two things. 1- buy the new ball that just came out that is virtually the same as theirs but doesn't hook as much 2-(the smart ones IMO) they change surfaces and maybe drill patterns.
 Now the ball manufacters want to sell balls and they understand this process.
GENIUS!
