Hammer Vibes - IMPRESSIVE
« on: August 21, 2008, 08:01:29 AM »
Hey guys, I think i'm officially becoming a HammerHead again. I just bought 2 Vibes, an Emerald and a Blue. The Emerald was drilled up 5 3/4 x 5, and the Blue was drilled Rico.. All I can say is WOW. The Blue Vibe i've had the longest and thrown the most, maybe about 40 games, and all it has given me was HIGH scores. I shot a 288 with it last night, and a week ago I shot 297 with it. My last week in league, all I threw was the Blue and I shot a 704, which helped me end the season at a 205 average, my highest average ever. Last night, my Emerald came in, and got drilled up by Beans, as usual (: .. I took the Emerald out last night, threw it about 3 games, and just off of those ~3 games, I can tell this is another winner. I just love the way the Vibes roll and rev up the most. My Emerald gets EASY length, and once it hits dry, it's gone. I was able to go straight up 10 with some speed. I was able to change my hand position to more side roll with about 50 more revs, and go over 3rd arrow. I could've played almost anywhere on the lane, except over 4th arrow, which i'm just not that good at, in general.

Overall, i'm sticking with Hammer - forget Track, they've lost their Track essence and variety. My next Hammer purchase MAY be a Razyr, which i'll be highly considering once I have some more money! Right now, Beans is fixing me up a Doom I just purchased, and i'll be all good for now.

Thanks for reading, and, if you want, share your personal Hammer experiences!

BTW: here's some pics.

Great to hear you like the Vibes.  I don't know about the emerald vibe but the Blue is just flat out awesome!  

Your going to like the Doom as well.  The Doom is what got me into using Hammer again.  I still consider the Doom one of the best bowling balls ever made!

I've only had the Cherry Vibe, and it's way stronger than I ever would have believed it to be. Great ball, and hope to give the Emerald a run someday.

I can't say enough about the vibes. My Emerald is amazing, i keep it a 4k abralon so it doesn't bounce left way too hard and its a great Lighter side of mediums ball and it isn't very squirty.

I had the Cherry as well as the Blue and just wish I still had them, awesome reacting pieces, hammer hit it huge on the vibe line as they did with the raw hammer line. Take the strong pieces (Anger, Psycho) and the weaker pieces (Cherry, Emerald) and a few abralon pads and you have the best bag for the buck arsenal out there.

I think the Vibe is Hammer's best ball. I bought a 2nd Blue Vibe when I heard they were discontinued. I've had many big games (279's 280) in the 3rd game of a series when the lanes started to transition.

Yep, J_Mac got it.

Also, I just picked up another Hammer ball.. A PYSCHO! The ball is amazing and i'll be posting a nice review on it after I get a ton more games on it. I'm really loving Hammer right now. I picked it up at a Demo Day and Buddies Pro Shop drilled it for me perfectly.
