What balls look impressive in the region that you bowl in? Double points for balls from a company that you wouldn't normally throw.
I've been very impressed with the Vapor Zone and Katana/Katana Slash. I'm also more and more surprised at the useability of the Purple Hammer for a lot of high rev crowbar styles. I'm seeing high rpm guys have the ability to park it in one spot all night and just throw it harder to get the corners out.
How about you guys?
-
I won't get double points, but that White Hot Badger. It's insane.
-
I can't wait to throw that ball. My badger I like, it's just drilled way too weak. It's more of a struggle all night, pull out the badger for 240+ ball. I would love to have something I could boom right on the fresh and stick with it for 3+ games.

Saw a guy few weeks ago throw a 299 in practice with a Honey Badger (not bowling league this year so see less big games). That ball is money if you can repeat shots. Need to get there so can enjoy mine more.

Bro...
Let me help you.
Claw on the fresh, Badger on the transition, white Hot when you go left and bang on it.
-
Double points - Katana/Katana Slash
Regular points - Hy-Road X
-
Maximum Bob throwing the Eon Infinite on a tight pattern
See a lot of the Web and Web Tour now
-
Tale of two houses, one house is a heavier volume pattern with an EBI staffer running the pro shop, the Web, Web Tour, Tactix, and Roto Grip Idol all look great.
Other house, drier, seeing lots of scores with Hy-Road X's, Hustle Inks, regular Badger from Global as well.

There is no one ball dominating in my area these days. I see a little bit of everything. People are throwing Rhinos, Katana Slashes, Black Widow golds, Sure Locks, Code X's, Intense Fires, Paradox V's, DCT's, you name it! And this is all on the same damn THS!!
SMH.
The one ball that got my attention recently however was the Idol Pearl! That does look to be a unique piece!
I was recently throwing my Gauntlet Fury and scoring well up until the transition.....then the shot went south quickly, so I started throwing my teammates Scandal and I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and consistent it was.

This sums up what I'm seeing in our area.
I'm not a Hammer guy, but I've seen enough good in the Web and Web Tour both locally and on TV to take the plunge on those 2 balls myself.
Excellent pieces.
-
yes white hot badger is a beast!! Don't see a lot of them yet though, but they are coming to an alley near you!
-
in my sport league, there are several PhysiXs, HyRoad X, Katana Slash, Quantum Bias and an ebonite staff member that is making a lot their stuff look pretty good.
-
It might not be everyones cup of tea but i can't seem to put my After Dark Pearl down. which is sad because everything else in my bag is $150 and up and my after dark was $100 out the door. But i'm just shooting 250 and up games on the regular with it. i just find where there isn't a lot of oil and i live there with it

All this talk is getting me excited to buy my drill press. You guys are going to hear a weather report talking about an odd cloud appearing over Western Chicagoland. It's really just going to be me.

Does the placement of the CG of said cloud "matter"? :P

In my usual league/house, the one ball I've seen that always looks great is the Sure Lock. That ball can make monsters out of mere mortals.
In my other house where I practice and bowl in a clinic, the entire Jackal line has looked the best.
-
After Dark Pearl, Honey Badger, Halo, Physix, Crux Prime, Vapor Zones, and Tenacity Grits look really good around me. Definitely a lot of diversity though.
White Hot is just starting to make its runs and they look really good when they get a track going in the cover.

Or you can just break the surface off the drill press and start wrecking with it! #boo1500polished

You've got to be loving this Doom. This is the most people I've ever seen talking about 900 Global on here. I'm hoping they're selling a lot because they've got some great stuff with the After Darks and the Badger series

Oh yeah! Glad you brought that up! I've seen one guy in my Friday morning league throwing an After Dark pearl and he is a fluffer, low average guy....but this ball makes him seem more than competent!
Another guy is a low average guy as well and all of a sudden he's been putting up honor scores with a damn EON!! I had never heard of it til I saw his scores!

Tons of idols. Idol pearls in upstate New York. Idol pearl to strong in league for me. I prefer tour iq solid.

Hammer web tour, I know people who are literally throwing all their balls away and strictly using them, which is mind boggling.
-
