I am throwing a ebonite mission for the first two games of league. After two games the ball just starts hooking to early i am looking to pic up a second ball. I have been looking at the new hammer balls the trap,plague, and the hardcore grind. Anybody have any ideas what would be best. Please give me some ideas thanks.

what i mean is as the shot is breaking down.

I'm not to familar with Ebonite/Hammer but something like a Burn or Widow Pearl, with a skid/flippy layout like 5 x 4 and pin above fingers.  This will give you better length and more backend when the lanes start drying up.  Too comment on what don said,  there are two types of oil transition.  The first is carrydown where oil is taken from mainly the midlane and placed on the backends.  Usually a ball with a late midlane read (38-40ft) and stronger backend work good at this point.  The second is oil breakdown where the oil actually starts drying up off the lane.  A weaker ball with a shiny surface is usally required to clear the heads and midlane, and have a flippy backend to increase carry.

According to some current articles, carrydown does not exist unless plastic/urethane is used. The new super oil vacuums soak up the conditioner which creates a hook/stop reaction due to the lack of oil. Makes sense - move deeper or shell down.
