How much the ball wants to hook, 1 (straight, a spare ball) to 10 (the strongest oil-eaters). The maker publishes no number for this ball, so this is estimated from the coverstock, core, finish, and differential.
Coverstock
Gen MT (Moderate Traction)
Core
The Packman core offers moderate revs due to the medium Rg values combined with
Symmetric
Factory finish
The finish process is the final factor that determines our overall ball motion.

The finish process is the final factor that determines our overall ball motion.. Coarse surfaces grip through oil and hook early; fine or polished surfaces skid longer and hook later. Surface changes over games, and a pro shop can take any ball either way with a pad.
