I have a 900 Global Hook! Red/Yellow solid. I've been looking online at the Hybrid and Pearl versions of the Hook! series and I noticed the following discrepancy on Bowlingball.com. The Red/Yellow solid and the Purple/Orange, Blue/Blue and Silver/Black pearls all have a Perfect scale rating of 160.90. However, the Blue/Yellow Hybrid recently released (May 2012) has a listed Perfect Scale rating of 101.50.
I'm not the most knowledgeable bowler but it's my understanding the the Hybrid versions of cover stocks fall somewhere between the Pearl and Solid versions. Since the Hook! Pearl and Solid balls have equivalent Perfect Scale ratings, shouldn't the Hybrid version have a similar rating? Is there something going on that I don't know or understand, or do you think it's just a typo on the web site (both the Blue/Yellow and Black/Pink Hybrid balls have the same 101.5 Perfect scale rating and were released about 6 months apart and a year/6 months after the Solid and Pearl versions, respectively). The core's, RG and Differential are all the same for all versions of the ball. The only differences in cover stock are the Pearl, Solid and Hybrid.
What do you think? I submitted the same question to Bowlingball.com but haven't received an answer.
