Question: What is hook potential in a bowling ball?
A: Hook potential refers to how much a bowling ball can curve or hook as it travels down the lane. It measures the ball's ability to change direction and enter the pocket at a strong angle for better pin carry. Higher hook potential balls create more dramatic movement, while lower hook potential balls stay straighter. It is one of the most important characteristics when choosing equipment.
