Title: Best Hammer for Fried Heads and Carrydown ??
Post by: Bowlin for Beer on March 31, 2008, 08:33:02 AM

I mean lanes that have been bowled on until they are completely screwed up.
Any pearls that can handle carrydown ?
Others ?

Your opinions would be much appreciated.

If your lanes get to the point that theres a ridiculous amount of carry down with nothing in the heads, take a spare ball and deal with the bad pin carry. Theres really no solution to this.

Bowled tonight with a friend. Lanes were terrible. Shooting between 120s and 160s with my Cherry Vibe, No Mercy Beat'n, and Black Hammer. Decided the last couple games to throw my Black Widow Clear for the heck of it. Shot 204 and 234 with the BWC. Ball actually has surprising carry.

Hmmm, out of the belly, I'd suggest an old Pure Hammer with a fine surface - especially the black one at OOB, that has a milder coverstock than the later red one, which is a pure reactive and came polished.

This ball works very well on light oil condtions, and the low RG core lets it roll pretty well and early, if drilled accordingly (e. g. 5x4 or so, with a low pin distance and the pin under the fingers).

Currently, Hammer has nothing comparable in store - but from the current line-up, a Cherry Vibe without polish (say 4.000 Abralon sheen) and a tame but rolly layout could be the ticket - a pin axis set up or the pin very far from the PAP, under the fingers and the low pin distance CG either stacked or slightly kicked out towrds the PAP for an arcy move. But I am not sure about this - just a suggestion

I used a Cherry Vibe yesterday in practice playing on some really burned heads from the weekend using 15 to 10 or 8 at the arrows. The call is OOB and pin is high over the ring finger. I can cut through some carrydown. I shot 763.
