"My Ball Stopped Hooking"

When a ball is “strong,” we typically are referring to the strength the ball has front-to-back, as opposed to left-to-right. Therefore, if a ball is too strong front-to-back, and there isn’t enough oil in the front part of the lane to accommodate that, the ball will use up all of its energy in the fronts and it won’t have anything left to “turn over” down lane.
