Tilt has no bearing on "hook potential". The actual number of boards covered will be the same but it if all other factors are the same a low track will have more of a skid/snap reaction while a high track will read the pattern more. Skid/snap reactions tend to not read the midlane as well and are actually considered "weaker" reading balls despite the fact that most unknowing amateurs prefer the unpredictable "hockey stick" look. Earlier reading balls read the midlane more and tend to have more of a continuous, controlled arc the entire way.
That all being said this is the second thread I've read where you've mentioned axis tilt. Tilt is harder to change for most than axis rotation. Axis rotation will also have a greate affect on the ball's change of direction than tilt. So, how far have the oil rings moved from the fingers and thumb from the previous tilt to the tilt now used?
