I liked it when they came out with this. It's interesting to see how important cover/core matchup is

I'm not sure how I feel.  First ball - very weak cover and normal core = very little hook.  No problem.  Second ball - high performance cover and weak core = the same very little hook?  While it might not match up well, a strong cover even with a puck weight block should hook better than the one they showed.

The strong cover ball definitely wasn't checking up early to exaggerate the video.  A good example of a weak core strong cover ball that was released was the V2 Dry.  That ball was a $175 spare ball for most people.  Particle cover with a differential of something like .003 if I remember correctly.
