Had this ball for a little bit and decided to write up a review for your enjoyment.

Ball Speed: 15-16
Revs: Medium Low
Played 15 swinging out to 7 at the breakpoint.

Had this ball laid out pin under ring with the cg right below it about 3 inches.

Conditions: House Shot more on the Fresh Side with a little carrydown. These lanes tend to be more on the wet side a little.

The Doom is hands down the best ball in my arsenal. Wether I'm bowling on something on the dry side or something on more medium heavy, this ball is so versatile that I cant really decide which lane condition it scores the best on. It is very user friendly, being that it responds to hand positions very well. The ball is as strong as my toxic, but in a different way. It deosnt go as long, and has more of an arc/snap, where the toxic is very snappy. On this condition I had a very good look and was able to string alot of strikes. This ball is more forgiving then the toxic and Widow, and really gives me a cleaner look then either of them do. This ball bodes well in transition also, as I did not even notice the lanes changing at all throught the whole set. I was able to stand on the same board and hit my same mark for all 3 games. Yes, I am on the left side, but I normally end up moving my feet right a few boards along with my target at the arrows ( this goes even more so with balls like the toxic). I would definitly recommend this ball. I actually feel that this could be a bechmark ball, based on its ability to give you a very clean look on a variety of conditions. I have also thrown 2 300's in the past month with this ball. When I am throwing the ball correctly, nothing in my bag can beat it.

This is the smoothest and most consistent ball i ever owned and very devestating...its a great ball it does not hit hard as my Total NV but its really a great ball once u hit your mark the pins are gone. This ball is alittle aggressive then i imagine which is very good...This ball goes long and when it hit the pins the backend explode the pins.It recovers very nicely and is very great on light to med oil but also performs well on heavy. Great ball at a very affordable price unlike those expensive balls that dies out and don't do much action.... Hammer Doom is the way to go... love this ball pin action baby!

The Doom is one the best balls that Hammer has ever made. Being a skid/flip ball i drilled the pin under the middle finger to reduce flare and CG is kicked 3 in to the right. I also sanded the ball with 2000 abralon pad to smooth is out. Let me say that is ball reads the mids and rolls hard on the back. It is the best carrying ball I have thrown in awhile. I now have 4 Dooms with different layouts. Being a mid to low priced ball, the Doom is the best bang for the buck.

Hammer RAW HAMMER DOOM
Weight: 15#
Pin Placement: 2-3"
Top Weight: 3 1/4 oz.

Layout:
4 1/2" Pin Above the Ring Finger w/ CG Stable and no Weight Hole required.

Picture: http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7019048
Video: COMING SOON!

First Impressions:
I definitely like how the DOOM gets through the heads with ease and has booming backend to suit. The DOOM gives me the Skid/Snap reaction type shape that I come to know when I first started throwing the Equation! This is a BIG THUMBS UP in my opinion!

General Thoughts:
The benefits the DOOM gives is that on the fresh once it touches dry, watch out, as the energy retention that it has saved up just completely explodes on the backend. The DOOM is definitely angular when it comes to backend reaction!

Comparison/Contrast:

DOOM vs. TOXIC
I feel the DOOM is a more consistent piece than the TOXIC was. The TOXIC with its pearl additive gave me alot more length than what I really need vs. the DOOM which just reads the heads better for me and gives me a consistent reaction.

DOOM vs. ANGER

The ANGER started up earlier for me and lost energy as it went down the lane. The DOOM definitely went longer (BIG DUH there) as it has a polished finish to it which gives it length to begin with. And of course, the ANGER can handle more oil. The DOOM gave me a better reaction as well even with me polishing up my ANGER with a coat of Factory Finish.

Conclusion:
With a skid/snap type reaction, I can't wait to throw this one side by side with my Equation and see which one out does the other...the DOOM is a great skid/snap piece with a price tag that is easy on the eyes! Cause DOOM on your competition today, "Nothing Hits Like a Hammer!"

I had the Doom in 16# drilled three or four months ago to go long and found that it did just that, but with an unpredictable little snap at the end that "doomed" the ball to over/under land. I'm a stroker with medium speed, usually playing down and in at the second arrow. Meanwhile for weeks I had some huge success with the Black Widow, including a 279 - 299 - 289 set. I decided to give the Doom back to my driller to see if he could put in a weight hole that would give the ball more mid-lane movement, providing a hard arc, and he did just that! I got the ball back in my hands last night in mid-first game, ran the table, then did 265 - 255. Can't wait to get the ball back on the lanes. The hit was nuts. I kicked out four pins on high hits, but also left two stone 8s and a 9.

My first review so bare with me.

Weight- 15 lbs.
Pin- 2-3 Inch
Layout- Pin above ring finger (length and snap)

Conditions

I got this ball for light medium to drier lanes. Pretty dry heads with clean backend.

Thoughts

This ball is simply amazing for these conditions. I had been throwing a Brunswick Vapor Zone for some time and just didn't like what I was seeing. Ordered the Doom to go long and snap hard on the back. This ball does exactly that. I am so happy I went with the Doom over the Black Widow Pearl because a few people have the pearl and they struggle at times because it is so condition sensitive. The ball is clean through the heads, goes long and snaps right into the strike zone. Also, sometimes i wont put it far enough right, and with other balls it would wash out or strike Brooklyn, not the Doom it holds the whole way and smashes the pocket. The ball is "forgiving" and hits like a sludge hammer (as opposed to a regular hammer

). Oh, and my average the last two weeks has gone up by 22 pins!

Conclusion

I love the ball and what it has done for my game. It was cheap, looks awesome and hardly soaks up oil. Great Ball!

I got this ball for medium to dry lanes. Mine is drilled to go long and to snap so the pin is above the ring. This is why its for medium and nothing else when the ball hits the dry it goes left and when its to oily the ball wont even move that much. here are some scores 721,701,279. Only used the ball twice. This ball is cheap and amazing if you get one you wont be disappointed. I might want to get another one before they retire this one.
