Title: Hammer Viscious and Turbo Diesel
Post by: Rob816 on August 04, 2003, 10:44:49 AM
I was looking at the hammer web site and I saw the viscious attack had a skid/flip rating and the turbo diesel had an early roll rating. Both balls have the same cover stock (power whip reactive), and neither is a particle ball. Could the fact that the turbo diesel has the same core as the rest of the diesels make that much of a difference in giving it an er rating? Can a core really change the reaction that much? The only difference between the turbo diesel and the other diesels is the turbo has a low mass bias, but the same core shape. I was thinking of getting either the diesel particle or the turbo for a long oil pattern but I don't want a skid/flip. I do have a profile so I won't list how I bowl. If anyone has any experience with any of these balls could you let me know how differently they react?

Thank You

Wazowski,

I thought you had a bunch of Track and Brunswick equipment?  You also have Hammer?

I have a Turbo. Mine is drilled weak(see profile) but there is no skid/ flip. Mine is very controllable. as soon as it clears the heads it starts to rev up and arc nicely. I haven't see it really jump of the dry. it will charge hard from the real dry when you miss, if you get there early.

keep it in the oil and it is sweet. as soon as you start to leave flat tens you will need to make an adjustment to get through the heads. The ball is very easy to read and make adjustments from.
