COMMENTS

Ball Layout: 60 x 5 35


Likes: The Absolut Flip with the same core with the Absolut Curve & Hook, but has the Carbon Fiber outer core and a pearlized coverstock = AMAZING BACKEND MOTION. I love the Absolut Curve, but this ball is much angular compared to the Curve. This ball definitely goes sideways on the backends, but not provide over/under from what I see. This is the perfect complement for the Absolut line. For me this ball worked best on when the patterns were in transition and I needed a ball to recover in the backends when the lanes opened up. This ball is perfect for the medium-lighter lane patterns.

Dislikes: Tends to be a little too strong off the spot on the fresher patterns. I will drill another one with a pin down to smooth out the reaction for some tournament patterns.

I saw this ball in action during the recent Bowl Expo bowling showcase, and A LOT of pro shop owners like what they saw in this ball. This ball will work perfect for the lower rev rate bowlers that need a ball to get through the front part of the lane & turn the corner when the transition has forced them left of their comfort zone. With the pearlized coverstock, this ball will help bowlers have a ball that will get down the lane with ease & turn the corner in the backends.
With the Carbon Fiber outer core, Hammer has provided a 3 year warrantee on this ball, so this is another great product from Hammer & an excellent value for the money.

Make sure you place your order through your local pro shop for this great rolling piece from Hammer.
