OK, so my Hammer buying barrage is pretty much completed, and I think I have a nice arsenal with which to work. Here is a list of the balls that I've got and where I think they'll fit in my bags:
Roster
Big Blue
Hawgzilla
No Mercy
Real Deal
Raw Hammer Pain
Hawg Wild
Black Widow #1 (pin under, box finish)
Black Widow #2
Saw Blade
Ambush
Hi-Rev
Big Blue Pearl
Raw Hammer Doom
Blue Vibe
Pure Hammer (Burgundy)
Scout Hi-Flare urethane
Brunswick Target Zone
Arsenal
Flood: Big Blue or Real Deal
Heavy: Hawgzilla
Med-heavy (snappy): No Mercy
Med-heavy (arc): Hawg Wild
Med (snappy): Black Widow
Med (arc): Raw Hammer Pain
Control: BVP Ambush or Saw Blade
Med-light (snappy): Doom
Med-light (arc): Burgundy Pure Hammer or Vibe
Light: Scout Hi-Flare Urethane
Spares: Target Zone
I've thought about picking up an original urethane Hammer for the light spot, and I'll almost definitely be picking up a Tuff for my spare ball duties. It just doesn't look right to have a TZ up on the rack with all of those Hammer. lol.
So, what do you guys and gals think? The balls that don't make the list are being boxed up and placed down in the basement for later use. Keep in mind the arsenal above is for tournament purposes. I fully realize that there is no need for anywhere near that number of bowling balls for house patterns. Do you see any gaping holes anywhere? Would you swap out anything that is set to go the bench in order to put in something else? I'd love your input, so feel free to share your opinions.

I've only bowled 300, but I've benched 345
