Build the ultimate Hammer arsenal!
« on: July 10, 2008, 08:42:43 AM »
Fun post!

Build the ultimate Hammer arsenal.  Since the Ebonite take over which 4 Hammer balls would you choose for the ultimate Hammer arsenal?

Here's my 4

1.  No Mercy

2.  Raw Hammer Pain

3.  Raw Hammer Doom

4.  Blue Vibe

I put mine in order of oil handling strength in box condition.  I was really up in the air with the No Mercy or Anger but gave the edge to NM because of the success i've had with that ball.

The doom is stronger than the blue vibe? Interesting, looks very solid though Chitown, I missed out on the pain and have tried like hell and haven't been able to find a new one in 15lbs with a pin long enough to go pin up :-(.

I personally would go with

Bite, taking the surface down to 1000 grit abralon

Bite with a polished finish

Doom, box finish

Rayzer, box finish

I personally think i'd be pretty well off with that lineup, my bite with a pin down layout and low weight hole is actually somewhat smooth in its polished state.

1. Emerald Vibe x 2
2. Blue Vibe x 2
Adjust layouts and surfaces as needed.

For reference, I've also owned the Black Widow Pearl, Black Widow Bite, Black Widow Solid, No Mercy and Toxic

But if I had to take four different balls.
1. Bite
2. Solid
3. Emerald
4. Vibe

I've previously posted IMHO the blue vibe is the most versatile ball Hammer has produced over the last few seasons. The emerald is already a close second and I haven't even experimented with the surface yet. I'm tearing up my summer sport/pba exp leagues with the emerald.

Emerald Vibe- Early favorite for ball of the year.

I know you only said 4 CHI but this would be a really wonderful six ball arsenal plus the spare ball. God Bless!

1. Anger (1000 grit or fresh box finish)
2. Black Widow (once a line has burned in, box finish)
3. Psycho (when the Widow starts burning up too early, box finish)
4. Blue Vibe (When the lines become too snappy, box finish)

You forgot the Raw Hammer Pain! lol

Drilling them all the same would be a great idea since each ball would still show it's individual unique characteristics.

You only need a simple original Blue Hammer - nothing else. Urethane rules. If you can live with a smooth hook and are able to change speed and hand positions, as well as varying lines, you hardly need much more
