The Bomb cores seem to be more angular. I'd say the Dirty Bomb.

The answer is Enriched Uranium at 77 backend hook rating. Below is the complete list.

SCB = 60
EU = 77
SU = 60
HDB = 76
BCB = 67.5
U = 63.75
Tsu = 56
DB = 63.75
H2O = 52.5
Bullet = 27.5
XXXL = 15

My EU doesn't have near as much backend as my Dirty Bomb.

The formula is:

backend hook rating = total Hook rating x percentage on backend

Numbers were taken from Lane #1 tech Data.

It's possible.  I know the ratings say other wise, but it's will still depend all on how the ball is drilled and what type of bowler you are.

Roy, the Hybrid is a BE of 80, not 76, while the EU is at 70, so the Nybrid has a bigger backend than the EU, with the Dirty Bomb is at 85%.

Actually HDB has a hook rating of 95 and 80% is retained for backend therefore

   HDB = 95 x .80 = 76 backend hook

EU has hook rating of 110 and 70% is retained for backend and thus:

   EU = 110 x .70 = 77 backend hook

If I am not mistaken the paper that was sent out with them said the backend % was 80.

If it's 75n hook rating with 80% retained at backend, then

   GN = 75 x .80 = 60
