RAW HAMMER BURN - Mini Review w/ Pic
« on: June 23, 2009, 04:25:22 PM »
HEY HAMMERHEADS!!

I just received and punched up the RAW HAMMER BURN today! A few spec notes...

Weight: 15#
Pin: 4-5"
Top Weight: 2.50 oz.

Layout: 4 3/4" Pin Above the Ring Finger, CG slightly kicked, no Weight Hole needed.

Picture: http://img189.imageshack.us/i/burn01.jpg/

Ending Weights:
Side Weight: 3/4 oz. Positive
Thumb Weight: 3/8 oz.

Surface: OOB

First Impressions: Good Lord look at the backend reaction on this ball.

Lanes: AMF HPL Synthetics

Summary:

This ball has one of the most aggressive angular backend reactions out of the entire RAW HAMMER series. The RAW HAMMER BURN has a skid snap reaction that I feel I can use if I get too much backend reaction from the Hot Sauce without having to sacrifice entry angle into the pocket.

Comparison/Contrast:

ACID vs. BURN

NOTE: ACID has a coat of Factory Finish added onto the cover as well!

ACID hooks more but doesn't have quite as much pop on the backend as does the BURN. The BURN looks like someone is down the lane and just kicks the ball left, I really have never seen a ball skid/snap as hard from the mid price performance price tag range such as this.

So far First Impressions are pretty good as this ball will get playing time tomorrow night in league. Will post a full and more detailed review and may possibly put a video package together for you guys.

Thanks for reading and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. God Bless!

I finally figured out what color can be used to describe that ball...

Chartreuse!

Nice to hear about the backend. I just had mine drilled today, here's a picture of it:

It's about 5" from my PAP, so I hope it has the backend that yours has.

Wow, this is one ball I might just NEED to get because of the color!
