To my knowledge:

Storm IQ, earliest
900 Global Freight train/Brunswick C-System Maxed Out, covers the most boards
Motiv Sigma Tour Hybrid, most backend

Overall, you cant go wrong with any of them but I'd go with the Storm IQ or the Brunswick c-system Maxed Out.

You guys sure know how to keep some humor on these boards. Really made my night reading this.

But, to the OP, the Ebonite Pursuit-S looks like a pretty big hook too.

Seriously,  now. AMF OMG solid, or 900 Global Freight Train. Might be able to find an omg on eBay. There are other symmetric pieces that if you found them, they would fit the bill.  Mega Friction or Mega Recovery. However,  if you find either of those 15 lbs nib, you need to find me a second one, as a finders fee lol.

You can add the original Train to that group. Might be more cheaply available since it was just replaced by the Freight Train.
You can also take several current balls that are sold at 3000/4000 grit, down to 1000 grit and they will hook a ton. Some examples are the Modern Marvel. IQ.

The Brunswick C*(System) Maxxed-out is a very strong ball.  With the Lower RG core and solid coverstock, it can handle heavier oil conditions. I've thrown it 2 times and is going to be my heavier oil ball.

Maxxed out is a very strong symetrical.  It hard to talk about amount of hook,  because that is more a product of what the lane will give you, not the ball.

I understand that people are being sarcastic & humorous when they comment on someone wanting what "hooks" the most---And assuming that the bowler is equating the most hook with "better".......however, it is not solely the bowlers "fault" for devolping this kind of thinking, the ball manufactuers are partly to blame also...case in point this columbia release from not all that long ago

"The new Pure Physics delivers a massive hook and an even more powerful backend. Its performance delivers nothing short of pure satisfaction. Because it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that when you’ve got the biggest hooking ball in the market — you’ve got the advantage. "   

now that is from the ball comapny themself. This is where some bowlers get that mindset from.

To those who already answered this question, please forgive my ignorance, but  - will the ball you replied with work on dry conditions?  Most of my strong hooking balls seem to quit on dry lanes and I seem to see more hook with weaker balls.

No. Not generally. A ball designed to handle heavy oil ie, stronger cover and to a lesser extent, core, will generally not work well on lighter conditions. I say generally because there are circumstances where stronger covers burn off just enough energy to fight over under that you see on some lighter conditions. Also, depending on your skills and ability to adjust, you may be able to use a heavy oil ball on conditions with lower oil with success. The real question is why try?

Not any ignorant question at all.  The ball that hook the most will very often be a weaker ball on dry conditions. 

The biggest mistake people make is trying to find a ball that lets them stay in their comfort zone and hook the lane when the lane can't be hooked due to a long pattern
