Well gang... I threw these beauties tonight on the late shift at South Point where the lanes have been hooking quite a bit these days. All I can say about these balls are AWESOME!! (231, 237, 224, 265)
Thank you Mr. Ussery & Hammer for releasing these balls. This is the movement that I have been looking for a long time since being with Hammer - length with control off the breakpoint.
I used the Blue/Silver most of the night as it read the pattern much better (smoother in the backends), but I did use the Red/Black ball for 1 game & shot 231 with it - leaving 3 flat ten pins. I think the Red/Black ball will be better for the drier/lighter conditions. The thing that I loved about these balls is that the didn't jump off the breakpoint as my Onyx Vibe does a little bit at times. I use my Onyx Vibe (pin down - similar to the blue/silver layout) during this late league and these balls were about 8 boards weaker and much smoother off the breakpoint.
I feel that these balls will be used in my bags A LOT as I love the smooth motion off the break on THS & the lighter Sport/PBA patterns. These will be great selling balls as the shelf appeal will be a hit. About 10-12 bowlers in the league came down & asked about these balls when I was throwing them tonight. Already pre-sold 6 balls tonight!!
Keep up the great job Hammer and really looking forward to what else will be coming out soon!!
