The Hammer Booth
« on: February 18, 2010, 04:03:34 PM »
Hello future bowlers of the 2010 USBC Open in Reno. We at the Hammer Booth just wanted to take this opportunity to extend our knowledge and customer service to anyone who may need or want it. We will frequently be on here to answer any questions as well as provide information as to what seems to be rolling good on the lanes. With that said, feel free to send me a PM or post on here to ask anything that we may not answer or comment on.

This year we will also have a Facebook page where we will be posting pictures, upcoming sales as well as scores from some of our bowlers. Feel free to add us, you can find us under The Hammer Booth on Facebook or follow this link:

With the first day in the books here is a little insight as to what we saw on the lanes today:

What we can see after first game is you are looking for a smooth reaction off the back end for control and looks like if you can get the ball between the 9th and 7th board at back tracer it is money.

As the next few days go on we will have a better idea.

As for balls we are thinking the Jacked and the Widow Nasty will be best for team event. Once again it is early and we will know more as the tournament continues.

How many people did you see using the Jigsaw Corner and with what kind of results? Having a little trouble with mine. Too strong in 1 house and a little weak in the other. I have it drilled for long and smooth. What kind of change would you recommend? LMK

We have seen a few (it is only day 1) and they look pretty good on the fresh. As I said earlier you are looking for a smoother ball reaction that is smooth off the break point.  

As far as your Corner goes would have to take a look at the drilling and find out exactly what you mean. If we had to change anything we would probably suggest changing the surface for each house first and then if that doesn't work change the drilling.

Looks to be about the same, can play a little further out but need to control the break point. Nothing jerky off the spot. It's the stadium, left side is always nice

Our first thoughts are still holding true. The backends are really moving this year so you will need something that doesn't jump when it sees friction. Looks like you can play in as well, but it isn't as friendly as going up the outside to start.

RC - For drillings we are thinking shorter pins with stronger balls that are just smooth and arcing. Right now what we think will work best is the Sting, Nasty, Jacked and Jigsaw Corner. Jigsaw corner more for people with less hand. For the Sting the MB at about 65-80 degrees to decrease the flare and smooth it out. Hope this answers your question, if you have anymore feel free to ask me.

Jbuzz - Right now we have a red Jacked that was the original batch color before they changed it to purple. We also have a overseas Widow Spare that is red/black. We might be getting a couple others in soon, not positive yet. If you check out our Facebook Fan Page (The Hammer Booth) you can see the balls we currently have as well as any future balls that come in.

Getoffme - I think your idea for the Black Widow Sting is a great idea for the team event to start. Once again it all depends on your speed and rev rate, but from what we have seen it looks like this is a safe bet.
