Hammer bowling balls
« on: February 12, 2006, 03:03:03 PM »
Is the saying truth "nothing hits like a hammer".  Which ball hits the hardest?
Which ball is the earier to use on all conditions?  I would like to buy a hammer ball.  I just needed some info on their balls (NOT factor info).

If you could still get your hands on a turbo diesel it works real well on a variety of shots. I also believe if you can't find one you certainly can't go wrong with any hammer in the diesel line. That being said have you ever considered AMF they have some really good stuff out right now especially their latest release the AMF RADAR you should check it out.

A Hammer that will allow cover change well, is the Doom. A very good ball for the price. It is NOT a heavy oiler, not really a dust dry ball either, but for just about anything in between, given cover/polish changes, it's a great ball for the price, IMO.

It's older, but I was and still am very impressed by my Vicious Attack. I got it 2nd drilling and took the surface to 1500 grit - but this thing has a remarkably angular break point for a solid sheen ball, and it hits hard on medium conditions. Was a positive surprise to me, never expected the ball to have that much punch!

Even though I own many Hammers, "hitting hard" is a relative term. I've seem a few other balls that create superior pin carry: Brunswick Inferno, the Track Rule Delta 1 and the Ebonite V2 Sanded. I love my Hammer equipment, but if you do not match up with the specs and cover of a ball, it will never "hit hard". Your "hardest hitter" just may be the best match up for your style. "Hitting hard" can be a misnomer.
