I have 2 Blasts and a Cell and I'd have to say they hook about the same amount, just different reaction shapes. The Blast starts earlier and is more of an arc. The Cell goes a little longer and has a lot sharper breakpoint. If you want a ball for a house shot, definately go with the Cell because of the snap. If you want a ball for sport shot, I'd say go with a Blast because in OOB, its great on heavy and if you add some polish, you can get a closer reaction to a Cell and can use it on medium.
