Hammer 3 ball arsenal for house shot
« on: June 15, 2007, 03:26:37 AM »
I have been checking out hammer balls and now I am going to get three new balls for fall.

1. No Mercy
2. Black widow
3. Black widow pearl

My question is would this be a good arsenal?
I am a high tracker, medium speed.

I have a dry lane ball.

You playing on THS?

typical 10-10 top hat?

If so, then no, those wouldn't be the 3 I picked.

Anger (heavy oil)
Black Widow Pearl (medium oil)
Cherry Vibe (lighter oil)

Those 3 would cover all conditions you should see..

Black Widow and Toxic are a good 1-2 punch on most THS. Then I would consider a Vibe for the third slot.

I agree.  Your arsenal may cover EVERYTHING, so you won't be needing all three balls if you're only talking about THShots.  You would only need (if you're sticking with Hammer's current line of equipment) the Black Widow, and nothing stronger.  In addition, you may want to take out the Toxic, which you will find yourself using more often than most, and either the Doom or Vibe (but I'd take the Blue Vibe because the Doom may be too strong if you are a high-rev player.  Your arsenal, once again, would not only cover house shots, but some sport conditions as well, unless your revs are lower.

I might have to agree with your comments, especially about the Doom being too strong.  I have a BW and Doom, and is some respects I'm a little disappointed.  More from an arsenal coverage perspective, as both those balls (at least the way mine are drilled....and I don't know all the tech speak on them) can be played from the same shot.  I know my BW is drilled with the skid/flip and I have it taken down to 2000.  Some conditions my Doom seems to hook more than the BW.  If I switch balls, I am usually no more than 2 boards apart....all I am seeing is a different shaped shot.  My next ball will probably be a Vibe to add more range to the arsenal, since I don't really bowl too many tournaments, and haven't had much need for anything too much stronger.   Just my $.02

Anger(if it's like the PAIN) and Doom should be perfect.  Then you could add a 3rd ball just for a different look.  For the 3rd ball just pick the one you would like to own.  Most will pick the BWP but the Cherry vibe looks interesting.
