It is a strong but controllable hook. Flare potential is listed at 5 to 6 inches, from the Mantra core's 2.498 RG and .047 differential at 15 pounds, which give high track flare and a defined breakpoint. The sanded Inciter Xtreme Solid reads the midlane early, so the ball gets into a strong roll and makes a smooth, continuous move rather than an erratic one. If you want a controlled, lower-hook reaction, a lower-differential ball will suit you better.
