Strongest Hooking Ball Ever Poll
« on: March 08, 2004, 07:17:56 AM »
What is the strongest hooking ball you have ever personally thrown and how was it drilled?
Pesonally mine is the Raging Inferno-pin 2-3 stacked.

I cant answer this because it would vary due to the lane conditions being bowled on.  A really strong ball on dry lanes might act like a marshmellow while a weaker ball would finish better.

Shur-D back in the mid 70's........I think it was about a 52 hardness (before it melted).

I think you're asking the wrong question.

On dry lanes,a  ball like the Power Groove or the Jekyl or the Sonic-X Pearl will have a lot more power and backend than a Throttle or a Raging Inferno, which will die in the heads.

On hevay oil, a Super Carbide Bomb will be a much stronger ball and a bigger hooker than Barrage.

It's all in finding the right ball for the right condition for your release and delivery.

On a bone dry condition, my Blue Dot will kill your Raging Inferno.

With the balls I have used, The ball that no matter what I
did I could never get it on the right side of the head pin
was the Super Carbide bomb. I would throw it over the 6 or 7
board on the left side out to about 4-5-6 or 7 board on the
right side and still take out only the 7 pin. I could only
use that ball if the lanes where absoulty flooded. But when
they were flooded it was an awsome ball..
--------------------
If your not using a Lane#1, Buy one from me!

The strongest ball I've ever thrown is the AMF Victory (aka Fusion Hook Monster).  Whether or not it was the biggest hooking ball depends on the lane conditions.

Track enforcer "red/white" and the hammer spike hpt were strong late hookers and the visionary midnight scorcher is the earliest arcing ball for me.

Rags, Brick,

Thank you, but that is just my opinion; it may not be everyone's. As in many bowling issues, there is often no right or wrong.
