Let me start off by saying that I am admittedly not a Hammer fan. I haven't thrown the brand in the last 15 years at least. The Taboo almost had me hooked, but nothing else I've seen in the line ever looked good in anyone hands (at least not to me, and yes my personal opinion is okay to have).

However, everywhere I go I see the First Blood, and in everybody's hands this ball performs amazingly well. This may just have to be my first Hammer purchase in quite some time.

I recently dropped down to 14 pounds, and the First Blood with an Rg of 2.51 is a bit above what I normally use for my style of bowling. I would like to hear from those who have thrown specifically the 14 pound First Blood and can provide feedback.

Thanks in advance.
