Biggest hooking ball of all time???
« on: May 30, 2004, 04:05:06 AM »
Which ball do you guys think is overall the biggest hooking ball of all time?  Don't include lane conditions or style either. Just flat out biggest hooking ball... I have not owned as many as most people on here but for me so far its the Cherry Bomb. A close second is my Savage Flip. What about everyone else?

Thanks in advance for replies. Kyle

My response was that the question isn't important...  Obviously one of the balls in the last 3 months in the hookingist of all time...  So a better question is which hooked the most when it came out compared to everything else.  Look at my profile, I think I have slight understanding of ball reaction.  Also, there is no such thing as the hookingist ball of all time...  You must really consider the pattern being bowled too.  It is fun to talk about though....

Super Carbide Bomb has a 57 hook rating, largest ever at BTM.

MoRich -- I did look at your profile, and it doesn't tell me much.  Has something been lost?  --  JohnP

Added on edit:  I do recognize the Pinel name, and know that Mo is an expert.  Are you Mo?

I see this question asked in various places and the answer is always the same.  Not to offend, but what conceivable difference does it make?  As Charlest so wisely pointed out, it depends on so many factors as to be virtually incalculable.  Plus, I doubt if very many of us have ever run into the condition where we would use this ball.  As others have suggested, while it is not the intent of your question, I think what may be important is what is/was the biggest hooker in contrast with its contemporaries.  This has relevance because of the influence it might have on the following "generation" of bowling balls.  As an aside, if it's of any importance, I've seen people who can hook a target zone off the lane, so maybe it's a question of what ball in your hand is the biggest hooker.
