So many choices...
« on: March 28, 2007, 06:49:48 AM »
Looking for some suggestions...going to be picking up 2 new hammers next month, and need to know which ones to get. I'm pretty dead set that the BW is going to be one of them. just too impressive looking to not get one...but the other...? no mercy's probably on the top of the list, but toxic? pain? what else should i get? i'm high-ish revs...15-16mph, PAP 5 over 3/4 up. any suggestions? looking for something to fit either above or below the BW.

Matt

also-drilling suggestions won't hurt my feelings either, but keep in mind...i've only had luck with 1 ball w/ the pin under the fingers. lmk!

my only fear is that the no mercy will be too arcy for me...it's okay if it starts a little sooner, but  does it still maintain some angularity? lmk thanks.

Grab the NO MERCY.  Put the #6 layout on it.

I love my Toxic and I just picked up a BW last week and I think I'm going to love it too!

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the current balls in the Hammer line!

Pick up the black wait till expo time and pick up the pearl. If the pearl has anywhere near the control that the BW has, it will be hot for summer and next season. This close to the end of the season why pick up a ball like NM or Toxic when they will be cheap over the summer to pick up. Just thoughts

If you are new to the Hammer line, and are looking only for angular reactions, then I would pick up a Black Widow and a Toxic.  

The NM can be deceiving if using it on the wrong conditions, or you happen to miss the layout a touch.  

That is my .02.

The N/M , B/W and the Toxic are super choices. I'd suggest you get the B/W and the Toxic unless you trust your driller. The N/M is a super ball, BUT, as Jason said, if you or your driller misses the layout you'll be disappointed in it. It's one of those ball you better hit the layout on the nose or you'll think you have a dud.

There's nothing wrong with the N/M, again a great ball, just know that you need to know exactly what you want it to do and how to lay out the ball or you'll think you have a expensive paper weight. It's not impossible to get a good layout for it, just know what you want and know your specs before a bit touches the cover.

I would have to say the BW and Doom, but the vibes would be another good matchup to the BW.
