Author Topic: Hammer Hawgzilla vs Lane #1 SCB (Read 1730 times)

I bought a SCB a couple of years ago before Hammer had anything out that was really for flooded lanes. It has worked out pretty well the few times that I have actually had to use it.

I bought my girlfriend a Hawgzilla for christmas this year for times that her Big Deal has trouble making a move (she doesnt have a whole lot of hand but she does pretty well compared to most of the other lady bowlers locally). I was very impressed with her Hawgzilla after watching her practice some on a fresh christmas tree pattern. Her Hawgzilla moved significantly more than her Big deal.

My question is...........how does the Hawgzilla or any of the others in the Hawg series compare to the SCB on heavy to flooded patterns? I like my SCB ok but it definantly has a different roll than all of my Hammer stuff. I was thinking maybe a Hawgzilla could replace my SCB to give me more of a roll that I am familiar with but $160 is an expensive experiment if it doesnt handle floods like the SCB will.

Any assistance is appreciated......thanks!

I have a Hawg Zilla that I use when the lanes are oiled to 44feet with alot of carry down. I have the coverstock at 1000 grit with the mass bias drilled at a 45 degree angle. This ball has no problem cutting through the oil saving much of its energy for a hard arc to the pocket crushing the pins when it hits.This ball is amazing on heavy oil you will not be dissappointd if you buy one. I also had a SCB with the same layout the ball had a very hard time making the corner turn to the pocket left me weak 10 pins all night. SCB does not perform on the oil pattern your looking for. Hoped this helped.

Personally the SCB is one of the Strongest balls made for heavy oil/floodes. NO other ball other than the AMB Centuar Particle and the EPX T1 can really compare to any of those from what i have thrown and seen. The Hawg Zilla will be better for something that has less oil than a flood in my opinion due to the less agressive coverstock and weightblock.

The EPXT1? Most people really didn't like that ball for flooded shots. From what I've seen of the Zilla, it seems as though it is the most agressive hammer ball, but compared to the offerings of some of the other companies it is not a huge hooking ball. Its factory finish may contribute to my feelings about the ball, as I have only seen Zillas that have been at or about factory which is pretty high. I figure that you should try to look for sanded reactives only if the pattern has more of a medium volume but is long. If were talking about an average length pattern that is really heavy try to stick with particle stuff or a reactive piece that revs very quickly off the hand.
