I just cut the Awesome Hook yesterday so I can't give a full review, but from what I've seen its another winner from Morich.
My pap is 5 1/2 over 1/2 up. I throw around 17mph with about 375-400rpms. The ball was cut with a 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 layout with the pin 2 1/2 above the midline and left in box finish (500) for my sport shot league. I'm not sure of the shot as they put a different shot out every 3 weeks (actually the volume is different every week).
I started out on this long heavy pattern standing on 25 and playing 14 at the arrows out to about 10 at the break. If I hit the spot it was golden really solid in the pocket sweeping all the pins sideways, but I had virtually no area. I decided to use my seek and destroy (4x6 1/2 (1 1/2)) as it is a very smooth ball and more readable than the AH. I usually leave this ball at 500 grit for the really heavy stuff, but I hadn't refinished it in a while so it was shined up looking more like 2000 grit than 500. I couldn't move in due to the balls length so I had to play up the friction straight up 12. I struggled through my next game, before deciding to go back to the AH. I moved deeper and finally was able to get some area. The carry was magnificent from inside.
Overall the ball was longer and stronger than either of my S&D's (one described above, the other with the same layout as the AH) It seems like it would be a really good ball for moving inside on a heavy shot or getting some extra pop when its hard to carry. Down and in, the ball, due to the strength of its breakpoint, is a bit over under but inside lines is where it really shines. I fins that the ball would be an even better compliment to the Awesome Flip than the Seek and Destroy was due to its added length and backend.
