Thanks for posting them. I tried to read the reviews online on their site but it hasn't been updated since March.

What is the Onyx vibe rating?

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

The Virtual Energy hooks more than the Siege?

Hook rating is based on overall hook throughout the entire lane.
Length is based on how early the ball wants to start it's hook phase.
Breakpoint Shape is based on the angle the ball takes  in it's hook phase. Example:a higher rating 0f 16 =
a smoother motion of the breakpoint,15=arcing motion,a14= between arcing motion and a angular motion.

The breakpoint shape numbers: These are very important regarding the ball path shape. This number refers to the angularity of a ball’s path in the last twenty feet or so. The quicker and stronger a ball reacts to friction, the higher the breakpoint shape rating. Balls 14 or lower have a slower reaction in this regard and arc the most. Balls 14-15.5 will respond slightly more, and balls 15.5 and higher will posses the most breakpoint angularity potential.
