Hooking less but not necessarily later.

If you're asking about a specific type of ball, you can look for weaker solid coverstocks.

If you're asking about drilling/layouts, you can place your pin close (3 inches or less) to your positive axis point (PAP). The closer the pin to your PAP, the less flare and less hook. Placing the pin on your PAP will also allow you to use the ball's lowest Radius of Gyration (Rg), which means the core will help the ball to start early which the weak, low-flaring coverstock will keep the ball from hooking much.

I've had success on both sport and PBA patterns with pin-on-PAP equipment, further adjusting the coverstock preparation as necessary for length as needed.

A word of caution. If you want to try pin-on-PAP and you want to avoid weightholes (that's not a requirement) you'll need a long pin-out unless you're a very low tracker.

Kill the back row (or maybe this should read "make your spares, dummy")
