First I want to thank Jeff Ussery for sending the ball to my pro shop! I'm a low track player and I modified the low track layout by placing the pin above my middle finger and the mb/puzzle piece just right of my thumb hole. I've used this ball twice in league for all three games on both sets and have shot 722 and 725 with two opens on each set. The ball is incredibly easy to get through the heads and I first thought it was going to go dead straight, then at the break point it made a strong move to the pocket. I compared it to my Hot Sauce which is drilled pin above ring finger on the same line and it's about 4-5 boards weaker. When the Jigsaw Corner is flush pocket the Hot Sauce was barely half pocket. I did shoot a 278 my second game with the Corner and it's only because in the 8th frame, I rolled it horrible!!!! All the others were flush strikes. I've rolled about every ball that's has been released and this ball has amazed me more than any I've thrown. I want to drill another one and I can't wait till the next league night and I have a tournament this weekend that I'll be using this ball in! As the shot last night changed and I had to open it up, the Jigsaw Corner got even better. The carry didn't change as I moved deeper and I shot only two 10 pins all night! If you really like Hammer equipment, then you'll love the Jigsaw Corner! If you like the ball to get down lane with ease and make a big move at the break point, you'll love the Jigsaw Corner! If you haven't tried Hammer before, make the Jigsaw Corner your first choice! Make sure to go to a Hammer Demo Days in January to try all the new equipment coming out of the Ebonite plant in Hopkinsville, KY!!! Make a New Year's resolution to get HAMMER'd in 2010!!!! Just my $.02, Bruce

Well after finally getting a chance to drill this new beauty up after the holidays... I can say that this ball will be a great addition to most bowlers arsenal.

I drilled this ball with the pin above the ring finger (5x4) no hole.
This ball is a standard drill pattern that I use for all Assymetric balls to see how this ball truly rolls. This ball is definately cleaner through the fronts than the original with a bigger backend motion.

Here are pics of the new ball:

I feel that this ball will match up to the low & mid rev rate bowlers from the original since this is much cleaner with the ability to turn the corner in the backends where the original Jigsaw lacked. I will plan on using this ball on a few different patterns in the next two weeks and will follow up with a another review.

Hammer has come up with another awesome ball to add in your arsenal. I drilled my Jigsaw corner with my pin beneath my ring finger and placed the mass bias at 45 degrees. out of the box I go 228 298 215 for a 741 series.The ball is longer down the alley than the Jigsaw and more versatile on a lot of conditions. You can Bring it back from anywhere with the new Jigsaw Corner.The Jigsaw Corner loves destroying the pocket.

Pin 5 from axis below middle finger, MB 1 inch from thumb. This ball is stronger that the original Jigsaw in the backend. I was able to get in and had no problem with the ball losing angle. Great piece for the brand

Absolutely the best ball I've ever thrown. It reacts just like its advertised. Smooth through the heads and the most incredible recovery on the back end. Very similar to the Black Widow Sting but with a more severe angle to the pocket. Hits like a mac truck. First 2 nights in league I bowled 715 and 752 series. I am a full roller with medium revs. I would recommend this ball for low to medium rev bowlers. High rev bowlers might want to stay away from this one. May be to much to control. Great job Hammer.

Iâ€™ve thrown three games so far, one in practice and two in the league (games 2 and 3). I actually practiced two games before the league started, the first game with my Cell to set myself up and the next one with the Corner. Iâ€™m in the mid speed and mid rev range. On a fresh shot I usually swing my cell from 20 to 10. When the fronts start burning up is when I usually run into trouble. It usually happens somewhere in the middle of the second game. I think my revs might be a little stronger than my speed and when I go deeper I just canâ€™t get the ball out far enough and turn the corner and come back to the pocket without rolling out. Thatâ€™s why I bought the Corner. Mine was degree drilled 60 x 4â€ x 20 (15 lbs.)

In practice my Corner was about 3 boards weaker than the Cell. Anyway, the first game in the league using the Cell I was struggling and ended up with a 169 so I thought what the heck and for the second game I witched to my Corner. I moved three boards right and I was lucky to only leave the 3-10. I actually picked it up with the corner even though I had yet to throw at a spare with it. Second frame I moved two left and left the 3-6-10. In the third frame I moved two more left, which is further left than I was with the
Cell at the end of the first game and I proceeded to flush the next thirteen in a row. Thought I was in heaven. Strikes 11, 12, and 13 were in the third and to say the least I was already falling in love but I got a little stubborn and/or chicken because I had to move deeper where I have always have had trouble before. Anyway in frame nine I said what the heck again, this is what I bought the ball for wasnâ€™t it and I moved all the way to the left gutter and threw over the fourth arrow and finished with four for 220. I have never in my life thrown from that area, didnâ€™t think I was capable. This ball is so clean and smooth through the fronts and has a very strong break with great continuation.

Drilled up my Jigsaw Corner last week, and here are my early impressions of it. First of all I drilled it with the pin below my ring finger, and the MB kicked out a bit to the right, this put the CG almost directly below the pin. I found the ball to have a touch more length than I expected, but still a very strong recovery on shots missed a bit wide. The carry is very impressive, and the thing that stands out to me the most is for a ball as strong as it is on the backend, it still gives you a reasonable amount of hold room if missed just a bit inside. First night in league I was very impressed with it, and had a nice line all night with it, playing te outside part of the lane and giving it just a couple boards room outside finishing with a 289 last game.It does seem to be a little stronger than the Burn with a similar hook shape to the Venom, but maybe a foot or two longer than the Venom. Great job by Hammer on this one, and I look forward to seeing it on PBA conditions.

Had my corner drilled with pin above ring finger and mb about 3 inches right of thumb hole. i wanted to get the ball down the lane and make an aggresive turn towards the pocket. i bowl on bothe wood and synthetic lanes. on the synthetic lanes i noticed the ball reved up a little easier made it through the front with ease and made probly the most aggresive turn i have ever seen in a bowling ball. before i knew it i had a crowd around me while i was throwing this ball. it has that wow factor. i notice i have to keep my speed up or it can get to angular on the backend leaving some ugly splits. on the wood it was a little harder to get it revving (could be that i was bowling on a shot from the night before). i could still swing it and bring it but the shape was not as angular as the synthetics. i have only thrown about 6 games on this ball so far and i have the city state and nationals coming up so i will post another reveiw after i get some more games on this ball. if you like to open up a shot then this ball is for you. if you like to throw it down and in then this ball might be to angular off the spot for you.

Brought and drilled my Jigsaw Corner 1 and a half hours before league. As usual I then went to have something to eat and a couple of drinks. As usual I made it just in time to get my shoes on and get ready to bowl. My first ball, strike. My second ball tap (10 pin), third ball 7 pin 4th split, 5th split 6th frame first game until the 10th frame of the second game all strikes. I shot 200-265-267. I carry a 198 everywhere except here where it's a 181. This ball is my new favorite. I am trying to buy a used Corner to use at my less than desirable houses. Great job with this ball.

Well I think its time to review my corner! I bought a jigsaw, then wanted this one to compliment it as a one two punch. My jigsaw is drilled fairly strong, so I wanted to make the corner just a rad longer by keeping the mb close to the thumb. Oob ball looked good, but was real squirelly with me, so I took it to 2000 with some moonshine polish and what a difference! The polish still helps it get down lane, with the 2000 surface underneath to make the corner. I can swing this ball or play straighter, with very little adjustments. And when I need something more than my c system, this is the ball I go to. Another excellent ball by hammer, and another awesome ball in my arsenal!!

I decided to give this ball a 70 degree MB with a 5" pin placement. This places the pin just above the bridge. If you refer to the # 1 recommended layout Ebonite has on most of their literature that comes with their performance balls you will get an idea of where the pin is located on the Jigsaw Corner. With the 70 degree MB I have basically drilled directly into the MB itself.

The Jigsaw Corner still gives me a plentiful backend reaction with the MB in a semi weak position. Even with it at that position it has more backend reaction than the original Jigsaw.

In conclusion, if you are seeking a tremendous amount of backend and bowl on semi heavy walled up oil conditions then the Jigsaw Corner should be a piece to look into.

This is my number one ball out of the bag on every night of bowling. I have this drilled with Track's technique of off setting the mass bias from the thumb by 2.5" This ball has been great and hits hard with minimal effort. High series of 795 with this ball and a 300 game at the dutchman tourny this year in lebanon pa. Great ball to use with minimal effort

istrike300 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 28, 2010, 05:16:20 PM »

The Jigsaw corner gets down the lane much easier than the original Jigsaw. If the Jigsaw was too early for you the Corner will be the answer. If the original was not too early, the Corner will compliment it easily. Great looking ball from Hammer.
