LANE CONDITION

Length: 42

Volume: Medium to dry

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): House Pattern


COMMENTS

Likes:  Great length in the front part of the lane and incredible hitting power on the back end.  I'm a High Rev medium to slow ball speed 14-16 miles per hour.  My Dual Layout 90 x 2 1/4 x 45 with no extra hole and the surface moved up to 4000 abralon pad with Ebonite Clean N Dull to burn the shine.   

Dislikes: Better suited for flatter patterns, but can be used for house conditions.

COMMENTS

Likes:   EVERYTHING - I like everything about this ball.  It is a perfect compliment to the original Gauntlet in that Hammer was able to maintain the ball reaction in the original and put it in a pearl and not have an extremely different reaction.  Everyone should own this ball as it is truly a great high performance asymmetric pearl that is definitely strong.  The Semtex Pearl cover is a great compliment to the core.  The ball is aggressive and consistent!

COMMENTS

I love the Carbon Fiber infused Semtex Pearl coverstock used on the Scandal Pearl, so when I heard that the same cover is with the core of the Gauntlet, very excited to hear this. This addition to the Hammer brand provides a stronger coverstock that can handle more oil, yet be strong enough down the lane to cut through the carry down if needed. The Fury cover a little stronger than advertised for a pearl ball and handles the heavier medium patterns with ease. This ball is definitely a great ball for the typical house patterns as you can keep moving left (right handed) and the ball will not quit on you. For me the Fury corners more down the lane than the new Black Widow GOLD and really shines when you need to get inside the pattern and need a ball to turn the corner in the backends for various medium to medium-heavier lane patterns.

I really like what I see in this new release from Hammer and I think this ball will be a must have ball for those that are looking for something that offers a great motion to have an angular asymmetrical rolling ball in your bag. – The Fury really continues through the pin deck!  Very versatile ball… You will be impressed!

LANE CONDITION

Length:41' house shot, 48' Kegel Eiffel Tower, 47' WTBA Paris

I drilled mine with a 35 x 5 x 35 layout which put the pin above my ring finger. For me, this ball is much cleaner in the heads than my Gauntlet, still reads the mids, and has a "rolly" back end reaction. If you are looking for a strong pearl that doesn't make sharp turn on the backend, this is your ball. You can watch this ball in action on YouTube on the Average Joe Reviews page.

LANE CONDITION

Length: 40 ft

Volume: 27 mL

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): USBC Blue Pattern / THS


COMMENTS

Likes: Everything! As a mid to low rev player who always uses her Gauntlet, I was really excited about this ball. The Gauntlet Fury has such a fantastic shape and ability to come back from everywhere. It is really a compliment to the Gauntlet, and something I have started to go to after the Gauntlet loses energy due to breakdown. I have used this ball in my Blue pattern league, as well as on house shots, and it works on both well. It seems slightly better suited to the flatter pattern of the Blue league, but works well on THS.

Dislikes: A little too shiny out of box. Scuffed the surface, and this ball is money!

LANE CONDITION

Length: 41 ft

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Rome


COMMENTS

Likes: The Gauntlet Fury is a great addition to the Hammer line.  This ball gives you more length than the original Gauntlet and saves the energy for a responsive back end motion.  Great combo to go to once the Gauntlet is burning out due to transition. 

Dislikes:  On fresh longer patterns, the original cover has a little to much shine.  Removing the stock shine definitely allows the user to see a foot or two earlier response at the break point.

LANE CONDITION



Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Sport, THS


COMMENTS

Likes: Super angular

Dislikes: Not the greatest in oil. 

I really like the big core of the original Gauntlet and it really shines with the pearl cover.  This is probably the most angular ball I have thrown from the EBI family to date.  I will say it does struggle a bit for me on patterns with heavier amounts of oil but once it starts to break down, I can go to this and not sacrifice hitting power.

For video and complete review, check out:

http://tamerbowling.com/hammer-gauntlet-fury-bowling-ball-review/

We test on THS and sport conditions with 4 testers.

Excerpt:
We saw varying motion from the Gauntlet Fury depending on the tester. CJ saw a really strong ball with a very strong flip down lane and much stronger ball than his Black Widow Gold. I saw a moderately strong pearl asym which is pretty close to my Black Widow Gold but a different shape. Bryan our stroker saw a very clean motion needing more friction to be effective while seeing more motion from his Gold. In the end, this is an interesting piece that seems to offer varying reaction to different style bowlers and not just “relative” reaction based on the rev rate. Personally, I like the motion and see it as a compliment to the Black Widow Gold when I feel like I want to see a variation in ball motion but same board coverage.

I really like it's skid snap reaction on oil. It will read the mids on a drier medium shot as well. Took a minute to get used to the power and downlane movement, but I can’t say enough great things about this Semtex pearl cover stock. This is a ball you really want in your bag!! So put her in motion and let her rip!

Yeah! That's right! I loved this ball so much I went and got another one and had it drilled to skid/flip!! The first one I had, I knocked a little of the polish off to smooth out the reaction. That worked out really well as I scored 288 and 289 with that ball and that surface. But this baby here.......I'm not touching the cover!!! Shiny as hell and with a monster skid/flip move, it will come back from anywhere! Just used it on a medium heavy condition about 41' long as this ball was awesome. When everyone else was using solids that couldn't turn the corner my Gauntlet Fury not only turned the corner, it flagged down a cab as it went through the pocket!

Love this ball! It reads the mids and has serious continuation down lane. I try not to use this on fresh conditions but on a flatter pattern it is money....fresh or not. This ball had people three lanes over, looking at me to see what I was throwing because it hit so hard and made such a loud noise! I literally saw this ball go sideways one time when I got it out to the right too early and it still came back and struck. Hammer you really did your thing with the R&D on this ball! Nothing HITS like a HAMMER!
