Sometimes the better you hook the lower your trap speed will be. That doesn't always hold true but I keep detailed notes on all my runs and have noticed that when I hook up with almost no spin I bog a little. The result is usally a very good e.t. but a little lower trap speed. If I really spin badly my trap is slow also. I have found that just a little spin seems to be the best on mine, that's why I'm a tad bit slower on slicks than dr's.
