How much stronger is the Buzz than the the Hornet?and is the Sure Strike stronger than the Sting? and where does the Big-R-Bang fit in all of this?

Buzz is earlier and more angular than the Hornet.

Sting is stronger than the Sure Strike. The Sure Strike is slightly longer and stronger than the Buzz.

The Big-R-Bang, according to Lanemasters' website, should be the "longest and strongest" of them all. On the other hand, some folks have seen otherwise.

Basically, you are looking at:

Sting - medium-heavy, decent length with power-arc + heavy roll
Big-R-Bang - medium, length with backend
Buzz/Sure Strike - take your pick, light-medium, length with assertive move
Hornet - length plus arc for drier and/or shorter patterns

I'm no expert, but from what I have seen and experienced, this is how it goes.
