I would easily say in my arsenal that my DV8 Ruckus Schizo will find the pocket no matter how far right I toss it on a THS. What's your go-to hockey-stick left- turnin' ball?

Storm Fight with surface adjusted: 1000 abralon + Powerhouse Factory Polish. Goes long and turns left, HARD!

I'm sure mines weaker than most but my Vintage Danger Zone. It's rare for me to find a way of being too deep with it

It's not a big hooking ball, but picks up energy nicely on the backend and hits hard.

Storm Byte without the polish, sanded a bit with 2000 grit pad.

Byte except with polish. I only pull that one out if the lanes are too fried for my other balls and it needs to get far enough down lane before turning.

Strange but I have 2, a Track Heat and a Storm Phaze. the Track seems to come up more than the Phaze and I was under the impression the Phaze was a much stronger ball. Both drilled pin up

I have a second ball, a Brunswick Vintage Gold Rhino Pro, that has a low hook rating on Bowlingball.com, but once it hits the dry it turns left pretty darn hard.

I used to have one and I agree, it really took off when if got dry. I ended up trading it to a friend and with some surface changes suggested by a member here it tamed it down and his average went up about 10 pins. Before the adjustment it was a bear to keep it in the pocket.
The hardest turning ball I have had was a Rotogrip Hypercell Skid, traded it to a buddy, currently it's a Diva Divine that I don't really use that much right now.

Have an IQ Nano, polished. On a medium surface, it can go from gutter to pocket in a very short length!

DV8 Thug Life. I don't even bother bringing it with for league night, because it makes me play way further left than I'd like to on a THS. I'm really pumped to pull it out on a more high volume oil pattern at some tournaments this winter, though.

One ball I saw work over the summer was the Track Paradox. It would start reading the lane at 30 feet then kinda hesitate, then turn left hard on the higher volume sport pattern we were on. It was interesting to watch as I lost every match to it.

My old Brunswick ambush still kicks harder than the two balls I have been using for a year

Ebonite Warrior Elite 4000 + polish drilled 70° X 3 3/8 X 30. Can't use on a THS and even on a sport shot if I miss left it's taking out a 7 pin. Way too much ball for me.

DV8 Thug Life but she can get away from me real fast if i'm not in the groove.

I don't have a true heavy backend ball.
My Rocket hooks later than the Bad Intentions. Hopefully I'm able to get a true, asymmetric skid/flip ball at some point this year.

Ball with the most "Back end"
1) Rotogrip Wrecker
2) Brunswick Loaded Revolver
The Loaded Revolver hooks more, but it hooks earlier.

I have 2. My 900 Global Respect aznd my Motiv Venom Cobra. Respect is a beast when there is enough oil or a lower friction lane surface. The Venom Cobra is awesome on medium or higher friction surfaces
