Rude Dude   Class 7G – Reactive        Perfect scale 201.5
Hooligan   Class 3F – Pearl       Perfect scale TBA

Reactive means 'Solid' and the 'Perfect scale' is BowlingBall.coms hook rating

Btw, I know some new Outcasts are going to be released but they should be similar to the Misfit Red/Orange, IMHO

Thanks for doing this.

Does the coverstock class number indicate relative strength?  Higher number = Stronger cover?  How about the letters after the number?

The perfect scale tales you the overall strength of the ball. Not a good judge to compare covers.

Does the coverstock class number indicate relative strength?

Yes, with their lowest number being at 1 and their highest (so far) being at 13.

I'm not sure of the 'Letter' rating I could take an educated guess but I wont want to mislead anyone.
