I'm really enjoying my blue hammer at 5K. The most consistent ball in the bag which allows me to play in my comfort zone which is the track to outside area. Other balls in my bag pushes me left quickly, or I start the night inside the track. I've done well playing inside, but I'm not as comfortable as I am with straighter lines. Playing inside, or deep inside, is relatively new to me as my game developed over the last 2-3 years.

Anyway, since I like the blue hammer I thought about the Black Hammer. I was wondering if the black hammer can handle more oil than the blue.? I really don't need the black urethane, but I just like smooth rolling balls.

What 2 urethane balls do you like?

Currently carry an AMF Hype, Lane #1 Liberator, Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle, and Brunswick Edge (spare ball) for any league. Urethane give me the best look I can hope for on usual THS. Most reactives force me deeper inside than I'd like, which is a constant struggle being a left hander with a decent amount of hand and speed. Hype can handle up to mediums, Liberator is step down with more length and "finish", Gargoyle is another step down from that (rarely needed). Majority of the time I am able to throw the Liberator for full sets. Occasionally, I will need to use the Hype instead, and will ball down to Liberator 3rd game or so. I am slightly concerned my Hype may have separated (makes a hollow thud when contacting other balls on the rack) and none of the current lineup of urethanes have similar stats.
