I liked the video and it obvious that Hammer is trying some new things. I liked the color line tracking with different balls used and different bowlers. You can get a good idea of what path the ball will take to the break point with the different releases from different bowlers. The monologue while they were bowling gave the video a nice touch. I have watched Jeremy Hunt bowl several times and trust me, his rev rate and ball speed is up there. I think the videos and TV shows seem to slow down things a bit compared to watching it live. Jeremy will not be on this board for a couple days. For those that really want the layouts of the balls, I am sure Jeremy will discuss them with you.

The lane pattern here was actually Kegel's High Street Pattern on a Pro Anvilane surface.

You have to remember what the ball is being tested and what it is being tested on. If you are testing a dry lane ball...you wouldn't put it on a flood and then try to explain why it was so straight....

High Street - Kegel - 44ft. recreation pattern thus the test on dryer easier pattern.

so compared to what ball, how much weaker or stronger is it?

Cherry Vibe
Emerald Vibe
Onyx Vibe

Just curious, I know the vid was shot on the kegel pattern, but how much different would the reaction be on a ths.  Is the Backlash line replacing the Vibe line?  just curious....

on a 39ft ths on brunswick anvilane, makes me wonder that the Backlash would do.  I''m thinking these guys would be way left, pitching right....thoughts?

Ok, so I ordered a red/purple backlash.  Wanted it to be weaker than my burn, but I liked the overall shape of the burn so I drilled the two balls with the same layout.  To my surprise the backlash is stronger than the burn....

I saw the same thing. However, the Red and Black movement is on the backend for me.

I have both the cherry Vibe and the red backlash

Backlash  Pin above middle finger

Cherry  Pin below ring

My cherry vibe is earlier and diffinately stronger than by backlash.

I am able to play a part of a dry lane that I was previously not able to.

I have noticed my Backlash cleares the heads even when dry, and does not over react or react early.

My rev rate is in the 450-500 range.  my pap is 5 x 0
