Due to an injury, my wife is going to be using an 11lb. ball.  In reviewing all the balls in  this weight, I can't find any of them that have a weight block.  In fact there are not a lot of balls that you can even get in an 11lb. weight  My question is would the cover stock on a Hammer Raw be strong enough too offset the lack of the weight block?  In other words, would the cover stock be enough to get the ball to hook?
   

A few years ago when I switched from bowling w/ thumb to 1 hand without, I got a 11 lb scout to learn how to do this.

The ball didn't flare at all.

Take away point:
Yes it will hook. At least on a house shot - get it in the dry outside and it'll move, although will have to be more direct.

Depending on rev rate, a ball that doesn't flare can created terrible carry down, even a reactive. But I was working on no thumb release. If rev rate is low, probably doesn't matter.

Power of ball hitting pins is: [(speed squared) X Weight] / 2
So a lighter ball will carry, provided speed is increased. Unfortunately with an 11 lb ball, unless there is a very high rev rate, if it's thrown so hard to compensate for the  low weight, then it won't have chance to get into the roll phase.

But the worst thing is to try to use a ball too heavy on an injury (which I've done as well and really set me back). If can work up to 12 lbs, then the ball options really open up and don't have to worry so much about what's available.

Mines going from 14 to 13..... Not really seeing any deals ..kinda lame

They'll definitely hook. My daughter is currently in the 10lb Pearl, and it definitely hooks when hitting the dry, even with it being drilled in a pin up layout with the CG slightly kicked out (she just figured out the concept of wrist position, so it's moving on her now).

However, you won't find any info on the 10 and 11lb Raws having a weight block, because they don't. They are cover and pancake only for those weights. a modified core is put in starting at 12lb and 13lb, then you get the real core in 14-16lb.

Other than that, she should be okay in whichever Raw you use.
