The Perfect Scale®

The Perfect Scale® Information

bowlingball.com has developed its own hook rating system to help bowlers compare the hook potential of different balls. Since each manufacturer has its own way of measuring this, we created The Perfect Scale® for easier comparisons, enabling customers to make informed choices.

The Perfect Scale® ranges from 1 to 300, with plastic balls that have minimal hook potential starting at 5. Currently, the highest recorded rating is 237.7, leaving space for future advancements in ball technology. Many manufacturers have had to update their scales as their products evolve.

To generate a consistent and comparable rating, The Perfect Scale® combines mathematical formulas with existing manufacturer scales. When comparing bowling balls, consider other performance factors, such as your skill level, specific ball features, and local lane conditions.
