I’ve read the reviews on Hammer’s “The Real Deal”, Ebonite’s XXXcel, Dynothane’s “Centrifugal Mass”, Morich’s “Total Shock & Awe”, and others.  They all sound impressive to say the least.

I’m wanting a ball for medium to heavy oil, mostly a heavy oil house shot about 40’ length.

I’m a high track, Stroker/Tweener, medium revs, medium ball speed (15-16.5mph) bowler about 215-220 avg. and improving (I’ve been back to bowling for a little over a year).  

My present arsenal consists of an Columbia Aftershock (’95 vintage), a red 3D Superhook Hammer, and a Columbia Big Bully; the Aftershock is drilled for a strong backend, but I like a quicker-revving ball; the Big Bully is drilled more for control and it revs early – not much of a backend though; I’ve stopped using the 3D Superhook – I should have bought the violet! – it’s close to a label-drill.

Can any of you guys recommend a strong backend ball that is low RG/quick revving and has experience with a couple of the newer balls mentioned above; compare them please if you can.  I want a ball/layout that’ll read the midlane and still have a strong/very strong backend.  Something that’ll give me confidence that it will recover!

Which ball; what layout?

Thanks!!!

I would have to recommend you consider a Hawg Wild.  It will not give you the quick start in the middle of the lane you are looking for, however, it will definately give you the strong backend reaction you are inquiring about and give you area.  This is a strong ball, leave it dull, about 1000 abralon and you will LOVE IT!!!  Another ball you may want to consider is the Big Rig Diesel, starts up a bit sooner than the Hawg Wild, but similar overall # boards covered.  Need more details, send a message or post reply.

Good Luck!!!
