Question: Do higher hook potential balls always hook more?

Answer:

Not necessarily. A high hook potential ball can hook too early or too much if it does not match your speed, rev rate, or the lane conditions. On dry lanes, a high hook ball may burn up energy too soon. On heavy oil, a low hook ball may not hook enough. The best results come from matching the ball's hook potential to your game and the specific oil pattern.
