For all you Hammer bowlers:

If you had the chance to pick a pro bowler to join the Hammer pro staff for next season, who would it be?

If I could choose, I would have Walter Ray Williams Jr. on the staff

i would love to see jason couch throwing some hammer stuff...but then again im pretty biased with lefty players...imo with hammer at least youd want the tough guy lets get down to business on the lanes s.o.b. someone like a pete weber...but id be weird seeing him throw anything else other than storm....

Mike Machuga. I think he's on the verge of being one of the tour's top players but he doesn't have an agreement with any company. I think if he could get locked down by Hammer, he could focus on what would work best for him from just their balls, not from balls from everyone on the whole market.

Machuga was signed by Hammer a couple years ago.

Walter Ray has been with them and I doubt he'll ever be back.

circa black hammer 2001 time.

I like the local guy already on their amateur staff.

Best thrower in the world, best bowler I don't know about that!

This past season I think DANNY WISEMAN made it to the round of 8 NINE TIMES .. if you want consistency on your staff .. WISEMAN is the guy you want!

See http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=86019&ForumID=16&CategoryID=5. Dunno if it's official or simply a rumor, but that's where the idea came from.

I just thought of another bowler: Norm Duke

I believe Norm was on Hammer's staff years ago (he did have a ball that beared his name). He's been successful with Hammer in the past. I think Hammer's current and future lineups will fit his game.

One player that I think is a longshot is Amleto Monacelli. He's now a free agent. I like his style of play, and I believe Hammer would make a good fit for him.

Check out Hammer's Ads in the bowling magazines.
Also check out some of the slogans for Hammer.

I'm not sure Duke or Walter are firey enough for Hammer.
PA was a good fit, but if the rumor is true, then Hammer will have to look for a new face to represent them.

Jason,

I can see your point. If we are going to find someone that would be "firery", I would want to get Robert Smith on the Hammer staff. That guy has intensity, and he can throw a ball with a ton of mph!!!!
If I was Hammer, I would try to lure Robert Smith away from Storm.

anotherwindup · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2005, 12:42:09 PM »

The 2 suggestions that I see that are good are:
Wiseman
Smith

The problem with that is this. Hammer is still a relatively small manufacturer. Reguardless of the fact that Ebonite owns them, Brian still has a budget and limited resources to work with. I would more likely expect to see a few more lower priced staffers, rather than 1 high priced one.

For example- I believe Osku is bowling trials. He is currently on Hammer's International Staff. If he makes it through trials, I would fully expect Hammer to sign him to a national PBA deal.

A couple other names that come to mind that would look good wearing a Hammer.
Bedolla
Hurd
Torgeson

I wanna see OSKU back on Hammer Staff. I heard he just signed with Storm. ECK!

Since Hammer is the official "Badass Company" of bowling, they need more Badass Players other than Allen and Archer. I for one would like to see Wiseman, and maybe the brothers Traber on staff(They don't throw it really well, but they fit the image).

Wiseman would be a good choice. He would definitely fit the "Badass" image that hammer wants to portray. PDW fits that image, but I don't think he'll leave Storm. I still stick with my new pick that Robert Smith should switch over to Hammer.

I'm going to throw this name out because his actions recently: Randy Pedersen. Yes, I know what your thinking, why him? Like him or not, this guy plays with a lot of intensity, and he wears his emotions on his sleave. In the Tournament of Champions, Randy got pissed at the fan that distracted him on his last shot. He doesn't hold back on his comments, and he'll tell fans off (i.e. John McEnroe). I'm not saying this guy is my favorite player. This guy is a walking controversey, and if Hammer wants a badass, Randy maybe the one.
