Thanks Phil for responding to posts here on ballreviews.

I think that the confusion here is that hook in bowling has multiple definitions:
It describes the lateral movement of a ball on the lane (best described by Gary Faulkner's ball chart) and the ball's ability to traction in oil (the red/yellow/green line chart on the Radical page).

By this logic, the Xeno would cover a lot of boards on medium oil but not have Guru level traction in heavy oil.

Brandon,
I buy what you said.  It makes sense.  In regard to the strength of the Reax V2 in 2013 vs. today, I also buy into Phil's explanation that the oil viscosity, amount of oil, lane machines,  today's resins vs. 2013 have changed when measured against today's balls.  This also, makes sense.
Hopefully, we have all learned from these posts from input from the experts, without having to infer people are trolls for seeking competent answers to their questions.
