No Mercy vs. USBC
« on: October 21, 2006, 07:57:00 AM »
Anyone believe the No Mercy might be Hammer's answer to the changes the USBC proposed not long ago? CG near grip center. No weight holes. Maybe Hammer developed this ball to show the USBC they don't know what the hell-o they're talking about. Just a thought.

Good thinking.  I never thought about it that way.

If the USBC thinks that balance holes make a ball create better scores there crazy.  Lanes conditions dictate scores.  That's a fact!  Bowl on a reverse block and see how scores drop!

Lane conditions are the key to controlling the scoring enviornment.

if that's the case then why buy one when you can use a stronger drill on a mid priced ball?

My thought is that it's the answer to so many people drilling mass bias/asymmetric balls label leverage and then wondering why the ball has no backend AND THEN bad mouthing the ball. I'd bet more people killed a ball's local reputation by doing that than the USBC might kill a ball.

Not to hijack, BUT...Lane conditions have gotten beyond the realm of control.  Bowlers have shown they want easier lane conditions.  The members of this board are the MINORITY.  Don't believe me?  Ask around your leagues, most people will say they aren't at league to solve a puzzle, they are there to escape the wife, drink some beer, shoot 650 and go home.
 
Blocked lanes have been around for many years prior to the reactive resin era.  But it wasn't until the advent of the new technology that the scores really started to soar.  Technology leapfrogged the rules.  


Controling the bowling balls is the easiest and cheapest solution.  It's easy to dictate to the handful of ball manufacturers...how do you police thousands upon thousands of bowling centers?

Guys, I'm going to give you the answer to this question straight from the horses mouth: YES! The No Mercy was developed with the rumblings of the "no weight hole" rule debate taking place within the USBC. Go to any demo anywhere in the country for this ball and the ball rep will tell you just that.

Oh, how little you understand about this ball! The No Mercy is not to be compared to any other piece on the market today. This ball does not have a marked mass bias. Ahem, let me repeat that... THIS BALL DOES NOT HAVE A MARKED MASS BIAS. The "heart" marking is the INTERMEDIATE DIFFERENTIAL, which is roughly 6 3/4" left of the actual mass bias of the ball. The MB on this piece does not play as much of a role in the ball reaction as the intermediate does due to the unique core design. Therefore, the strongest drill on the ball for most right-handers would be the "do not drill" pattern on most other Ebonite/Hammer pieces, allowing the bowler to have maximum ball reaction without having to put the extra weight of the ball into a leveraged position reqiuring a weight hole.

Believe me when I say that this ball is probably the strongest moving ball in its class that I've ever thrown. Too much ball for little old me. If you hate weight holes, but LOVE a strong moving ball, then this is the piece for you. Later!
