If you want a strong backend reaction for your game, then take
the Big Rig Diesel to the lanes. Featuring the power of the
high-revving original Diesel core and the Power Grip Reactive
coverstock, the Big Rig Diesel produces versatile performance
on a variety of lane conditions.

15#, drilled pin under ring, cg stacked, 4 X 4 to PAP, sanded to 1000 grit. Strongest resin in my "all-Hammer" arsenal. After local "King of the Hill"
tourney, ball has earned first out of bag status. Only bowled in this house once before and didn't bowl well that time. Today was different. Shot was fairly long, heavy with little backends (for most balls at least). Not the Big Rig.
Shot scores of 225, 262, 200 and 195. Even last game threw 6 strikes. 2 splits were my fault. Ball made a consistent, strong move all day. Carry was phenomenal.
Will finish season with this ball next week. Highly recommended to all Hammerheads! G, your next ball awaits! Get one before while you can...Special thanks to RevLefty! Awesome seller!

Bought this used on Ebay for $26 plus shipping. The cover was high gloss, used it once in practice and got a lot of over under, not terribly impressed so it sat on its perch gathering dust for about 5 months. After reading how many people took the cover down I decided to do the same. On my spinner I used a grey scotch brite follwed by 2000 grit Abralon and finished it off with Ebonites Energizer Cleaner. This resulted in a nice low grade sheen but much less polished than it had previously been. Last Thursday after league I gave it another try out. Holy Crap! I shot 289. It was like a totally different ball! I was standing on 27 and swinging it out between second and third arrow. It was the most powerful but controlled arc I have ever seen! It just went nuts at midlane and continued to rev up into the pocket. It was like it had a radar lock on the pocket. It had the power of a skid/snap reaction with the controllability of a lower RG ball. I was really in awe watching it roll down the lane frame after frame with such precision and authority.

I love my BW's, HZ, Pain and Doom and now have another piece of Hammer equipment that gives me a different look than the others. What a perfect complement to the latest releases! This ball is going to shine on carry down and spotty conditions. Best $26 I ever spent!

Followup: Shot 300 in the Masters League Monday night. The BRD never missed a beat. Just bought another one (used) for $30. Great ball!
