biggest hooking non particle ball?
« on: December 02, 2003, 04:16:32 PM »
looking for a new ball.  Havent had the results from particle i thought id have. May want to stick with non particle only.

We have oil, so has to be a big hooker.

what do you think may be the biggest?
and where you think most the hook is
a-heads  b-mid lane   c-backends
--------------------
Dont swing it-if you cant bring it

When in doubt-swing it out

a lot of hook-yes

flare-i get a lot(sometimes over 8 inches)

i realize balls hook more on dry

im not interested in which ball hooks the most in dry-the balls im looking at would probably all be dead in the dry stuff-only need them in oil

For me one of the best hooking reactives was the trauma er. This ball has a huge backend and is very responsive to surface changes.

I have used the DC Tour Warlock and Charcoal Executioner.  I would rate the DC Tour a lil heavier hooking ball with the same layout and surface.  

I don't have the Element but have a Thing and Thing Returns and am very impressed with the "soaker" covers.  I believe the Element would be a good choice also.

I have a Midnight Scorcher which isn't particle but it's is somewhat different cover stock technology.  This ball is great for a down and in flood but you won't cover a lot of boards with it.

I have the Element drilled 4.5x4, sanded to 1000 and the Black Cherry Bomb drilled 5x4, sanded to 1500 grit, both left smooth. The Black Cherry Bomb out hooks the ELement by 5+ boards, on true medium to medium-heavy oil; it is almost an uncontrollable hook. I prefer the control of the Element. Hitting power is good+ for both.

(I'm taking the BCB down to 1000 or 1200 grit, hoping it'll burn itself up a little in the midlane and add some sense of control without losing too much hitting power.)
