I saw where it wasnt supposed to come out until late July.......I was hoping that some of the staffers had tried it.

the ball has not been released yet. I don't even think the elite pro shops have that ball yet.. The only people that might have it are the staffers..

I am also betting it will out hook the GP2 and SCB. I have been told its the biggest hooking ball Hammer has ever made..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)

Where? Maybe overseas, but thats not possible in the US.. My distributor doesn't even have them yet and he is one of the first to get his shipments from Hammer..

Another thing, if pro shops have had them for a month already, why have none shown up on Ebay yet?

Please verify where these balls have been for a month in pro shops..

Talked to Tony Reyes about it , he was very high on the ball. Doesn't sound like it's a super-hook arc monster, supposed to be fairly snappy on the back

Yea, I am sure the pros and staffers have the balls, but no one else has them yet..

I have holes in mine, just haven't had a chance to throw it on very many shots.  Hopefully I will get to threw it this weekend.

I was talking with Rich Blake today and he drilled his pin above ring about an inch with cg stacked if I remember correctly. Either way, he said it was so strong, that he probably wouldnt use it unless there was a flood. I have not seen him throw it yet so thats as much as I can say. If I get a glimpse of it, Ill compare it to his Big Deal. It looked like oob finish. Strong ball all the way down the lane.

O,

Blake's ball had a long pin, and it STILL was that strong?  Pretty impressive...looks like it may be a little stronger all the way around than the Big Deal (depending on layouts and surface preps of course...)

I had the opportunity to throw this ball at the recent Ebonite/Hammer demo day in Orlando, Florida.

The best way to describe the ball is to compare it to a Big Deal, but with considerably stronger motion at the breakpoint.  When I sent both balls as wide as possible, the Hawg came back far stronger and with continuous motion at the back end.  It was very difficult to get the ball to "quit".  If you liked the Big Deal, you will definitely enjoy throwing this ball.

My friend used a Hawg for 24 games at Junior Gold this week.  He had it sanded at 600 drilled, pin under ring, cg kicked with a weighthole on the ML.  This ball starts up very early, and is very strong in the midlane.  It needs oil or it will burn up and quit.  Extremely controllable ball as long as there is head oil to keep it on line, and it goes by the saying "Nothing Hits Like A Hammer!!!!"

Well I got my hawg yesterday here is the layout

4 3-4/25degree/pin up

This ball gets some great length and really gets around the backs hard.This ball comes out the box at 1000aberlon.So if any of you guys need something on oil this ball will be the ball to get.

I drilled a three inch pin stacked over the ring. On house conditions the ball burned up pretty quickly even as deep as  25-30 at the arrows.  On the 44 foot PBA Pattern this ball really performed tremendously.
