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.

EVERY PIN COUNTS!

i had a track enforcer that was a hook monster for about 50 games, then it became a dud.

My answer would be:

Heavy oily: The Arc. The most aggressive ball that I have ever thrown. After ninety games, I could pick up ten pins with it. I currently grow marigolds out of the finger holes.

Medium oil: The Revmaster. The best, most hooking, least expensive, medium performance ball that I have ever owned.

Bone dry: That is a good question. I think any unaggresive ball with more ball speed is good. When they are this dry, you have to hit the ball less, increase your speed and play through the middle. That is why people with less bowling talent bowl well under this condition, while good or excellent bowlers struggle in this condition. If you are a good bowler, you basically have to try and forget everything that you have worked so hard to learn, when bowling in this condtion. Less hit, less fingers, less hand, more speed. That is why bowlers with half a hand bowl well under this condition. Pick a non-aggressive ball and go!

There is only one answer to this question.  The orginal Blue Hammer.  It out performed anything on the market in the late 80's.

Swamp Monster
Power Diesel
Trauma Response
They are probably the most aggressive.

My diesel particle is a strong ball, so i'll go with that....i haven't thrown enough else to say otherwise...

Boom.

Biggest hooking ball for me was (and still is I guess)the X-it. Could use that ball on a THS, heavier sport shot, longer pattern, and even on carrydown as long there was some head oil. There have been others, but the X-it has always come in handy when needed.

"Oh wow, its a scooner."
"Its not a scooner its a sailboat."

Well this will be an odd one to add to the list, the Cuda/C 2000.  I was struggling the other night with my P. Unleashed so just out of curiousity, I pulled my old Cuda out, and it broke way more than the unleashed.  In fact, so much more I had to make a 6-3 adjustment, and pick up my ball speed to hit the pocket.  However once I did that, I promptly struck 14 out of 16 frames, including a nice 264 last game.  

Still, the most controllable ball with the most consistent reaction I have ever thrown.  I think at times I gotten myself so wrapped up in the fun of some of the new balls that I fail to stick with a truly great ball.
