Title: Raw doom or Hawg Wild HELP
Post by: jsanzi on January 25, 2006, 04:13:54 PM
I like a ball that goes long, but can turn up hard.  I throw the ball around 15- 16.5 mph.  I stand on 30 and throw across 15 and bank the 10.  which of this balls will give me the reaction. IF you know of any other balls that I can play please tell me. (any ball company).  The patten I bowl on the most is tophat patten oiled 10x10, but I needed the ball to some what to reaction on oily pattens.

The DOOM will give you the "bank" that you want, while the WILD will be a stronger arc type rection.  


I have both of these balls, drilled exactly the same, and that is what I see.

Completly agreed with anotherwindup.

BUT, if you want to go with the Hawg Wild, raising the ball to a high grit abralon (not sure what the surface is to begin with) and then hit the ball with a few coats of ebonite extender polish, or black magic polish, this ball might do what you ask for. But certanly the Doom in out of box is your answer.

Don't forget the Doom is a med oil ball.  Heavy oil will make it skid too far.  I can use the Doom on med oil all the way to light oil.  I feel a good two ball combo would be the Doom and Hawg Wild.  The Hawg Wild for heavier and the Doom for lighter oil.

What about a Doom and Road Hawg?

Oh splendid! This calls for a sexy party!

I don't know anything about the Road Hwag.  I know the Doom is a great ball for true med oil conditions and it can handle light oil without loosing any carry.  In fact as the lanes break down the Doom hits even better.  I feel the Doom can replace two balls in an arsenal.  It can handle your med oil needs and your drier lane needs.

Just a thought since the Road Hawg is similar to The One, but with lesser absorption. It could approximate a hard turn up reaction.

Bowler-  I omitted the part that I took the WILD to 4000 abralon, and then shined it with Factory finish.  I shines like a diamond in a goat's a..!   The reactions are still distinctly different.
