715C vs Hammer Jigsaw Corner
« on: May 05, 2010, 08:24:20 AM »
I just picked up the corner about a month ago and am now looking at this 715C.  Just wanted to know if anyone has rolled with both and if so, what is the reaction when comparing the two?  Looking to get one for Nationals.

Nothing to compare 715C probably best ball out right now IMO

Jigsaw line..... More like Junksaw.

I have both.  The Jigsaw was supposed to be for oil.  Drilled it pin over the bridge.  I didn't have the recovery I wanted on the backend on heavier volumn patterns.  Plus the coverstock had to keep being brought back earlier than anything I've ever owned.  Since it was for heavier oil, that was often.  After about three months I invested in the 715C after my wife had success with the 715A.  I drilled the 715C Rico, and it is WAY better than the Jigsaw.  Track is the way to go, and I've been a fan of both Hammer and Track.  I'd recommend the RICO drilling also.  I've used the 715C on 50 ft patterns, and it still picks up in the middle with a strong controlled recovery on the backend.  I have mine at 500 grip dull.

500 grit dull on a 715C????
Hmmmmm.

I'd recommend either another driller or someone who knows which ball to use for which oil amount.

If you drilled the Jigsaw Corner the same way you drilled the 715C and used the same surface, I wonder what you'd see?

The Jigsaw corner was definitely a hit or miss with bowlers. It was a Love hate ball. It matched up to some people, but the people it didn''t, it rolled awful. The 715C is a different ball. It is made for medium to medium heavy lane conditions. More people prefer this ball over the corner. If you dull down the cover of the 715C, you can definitely get a pretty heavy oil ball out of it. It takes coverstock changes amazingly well. This ball would be a pretty good compliment to the corner when the corner just isn''t making it.

I am now actually on the verge of picking up the 715C.  I just can't relaly use the corner too much.  I was actually at a hous yesterday with medium oil and this ball just wasn't working for me.  I thought that I would ge tthe Corner to break down the laanes, but as of lately, the lanes are breaking down this ball

If you go pin up this ball will be pretty clean through the front, but strong in the midlane and continuous. The shiny surface allows the ball to get through the fronts easily. I don't have a ton of hand, so I utilize playing the front part of the lane for my game. My 715C is at 2000 abralon. The layout is 60x4x55. This puts the pin up above my bridge. I have a hole that is 4 inches from my midline through the cg. Let me tell you something, this ball hooks a ton. This ball reads the midlane great and flat out continues through the pin deck. It is a fantatic ball and I hope that you will give it a try. I believe you will like a pin up layout. Let me know if you have any questions.
