Can a slowly thrown bowling ball hook better than a fast bowled ball depending on technique?

In: Bowling
[Edit]
Yes, but one thing that you would have to take into consideration is how much the ball hooks in the last 12-20 feet of the lane, or the part of the lane that oil is not placed on. A slowly thrown ball that looks like it is hooking good for the first 40-45 feet will hook more once it gets to the section of the lane that doesn't have oil on it. A faster thrown ball does not have to worry about an extreme hook of the ball at the backend of the lane like a slower thrown ball does.
