Ball Hooking Potential
« on: February 06, 2015, 03:18:45 PM »
Ok Question I want to know why the Brunswick Intellect supposed to be a bigger hooking ball than the Ebonite Black and Gold Cyclone but if you go by the numbers the Cyclone is actually higher?   Then why even get the Intellect

There are so many variables that go into the hook potential of a ball, including several that aren't related to the ball, that all these rating have to be taken with a grain of salt.  Examples of extraneous factors are lane surface, oil volume, length of oil, along with rev rate and axis rotation of the bowler.  The result of the inter action of all these can cause one ball to hook more on one condition, and a different ball to hook more on another condition.

What numbers? And the Cyclone can't compare to the Intellect on oil because of cover strength

If the surfaces were similar I would lean towards them being closer than one may think

I've not thrown Ebi since the One which used the same cover at a different finish.  My Intellect is rarely used due to the amount of hook. I think most would get better use from something  weaker.

If the cyclone is that strong(no doubt it's  the strongest entry level ball) I am not sure their other equipment can be used for bowling.
