What makes a bowling ball hook?

Coverstock

For serious bowlers looking to up their game, understanding the coverstock used on a bowling ball is essential. The coverstock refers to the outer shell material and finish that surrounds the ball's core.

Radical Max Bias
The Radical Max Bias will be that long oil, heavy volume ball in my bag. I anticipate using early this weekend bowling on the Billy Hardwick Pattern, 44' & 30 mls. I have only used it on a THS so far, but I like the shape it creates. Picks up early but is very continuous for a snow tire type ball. That is probably due to the addition of HK22 into the textured cover-stock formula. It also has a high asymmetry core that will add to the flare potential. If you are a speed dominant player or have low revs, this very well might be the everyday ball…

Amazing High End Ball!
I love the new Hammer Effect. One of the few balls that will hook in oil even with a shiny cover. Love the shape and how the balls gets through the pins. A must have!

Wicked Collision
This is Perfectly named. Compared to previous Collisions, this one really turns the corner, even tho it is polished. It has HK22C (C stands for Cohesion) which is also in the Hammer Effect.
