I don't understand the hook rating of 110 out of 120 and 80 % on the back end when the Lane 1 flyer or info sheet on lane 1 says its a controllable continous arc.

How can it have 110 out of 120 hook rating with 80% of that in the back end and be controllable and even more cotrollable let alone an arc?

i take it nicanor that once the ball makes its move, IE hook, it is a continuation, thus 80% of the overall movement is on the backend.  lot of balls start to hook in the mids but then stand up and dont continue on, resulting in more hook in the midlane area vs the backend area, I can see where the numbers come from but at the same time i can see your confusion, numbers such as that lead one to think skid snap

The question is how can those numbers relay controllable continuios arc and I say arc as in the Lane 1 advertisement because 110 out of 120 with 80% being back end and still be considered an Arc ball.  I remember the Columbia Arc of yesteryear and the Lane 1 advertise reads like the Columbia Arc acted in med/heavy oil conditions.

Thanks for the conversation.
