Road Hawg vs. Raw Hammer PAIN
« on: June 17, 2006, 01:38:47 AM »
hey everyone i was wondering how these two balls differ? I know the Road Hawg and PAIN have two completly different cores, but how much stronger is one than the other?

I was thinking of buying one but am not exactly sure which one to buy. So i am asking for help to decide which will be better for me. (please check profile)

Get the Pain.. If for no other reason its 20 or 30 bucks cheaper..

For me, both where drilled pin above the ring and the reaction was very similar.. They start up early and have great backed reaction as well..

I had 2 different Road Hawgs and the ball was OK, but I love the ball reaction I get with the Pain..

Not that it matters, but the Pain is a nice looking ball as well..

the road hawg is a stronger overall ball... it reads the midlane and doesnt stop through the backends... i have mine drilled with the pin below the ring and the cg kicked 1.5 inches... with a 3 inch pin... my pain is a 4 inch pin and is drilled 2 inches above my bridge with the cg directly under my ring finger.... no weight hole on either ball

the pain has a similar reaction but does get further down the lane before it makes its move... so when the road hawg is checkin too early switch to the pain and it is money... i have yet to bowl on any long pattern with the pain so we will see how that works out...
