First of all the scale does not measure filp, it measures "hook potential". I don't mean to berrate you with commentary on how terrible that scale is, but just for informative purposes I will state some problems with the scale. First off the scale measures hook potential, a relative term. Hook potential differs vastly on different surfaces with different volumes of oil. A Sahara can out hook a Total Shock and Awe if the lanes are a bit toasty, as the TS&A will burn up. Hook in oil/hook in dry are better terms, they still aren't exact, but at least they address the lane condition.
Secondly, it seems as though they are ignorant to basic ball dynamics. It is rather obvious that they do not take into account the differences in symmetrical/asymetrical core technology. Assuming they are refering to hook in oil it is safe to say that there are major errors. I will guarantee that the TS&A will out hook any Big B ball, any storm piece, or pretty much anything (hold a SCB or a rule GP2, and maybe a few others) on the market on a long, heavily oiled pattern with a drilling that offers maximum flare/early hook. Yet the TS&A is lower than many balls on the scale.
*bad joke alert* The scale is actually the imperfect scale
