The monster has finally been unleashed.

The Hawg Zilla is without a doubt the best of all the Hawg series balls.  The new Ultra Violent coverstock produces a more angular breakpoint out of the box than its predecessor the Road Hawg.  The Ultra Violent coverstock is also much more adjustable, taking to a shine easily. When shined, the Hawg Zilla is much more skid/flip. Comparing this ball to the Black Widow, which utilizes a similar coverstock, the Zilla is a much better ball for heavier. In box finish, it is 5-10 boards more (depending on bowler’s rev rate) overall hook than the Black Widow. When polished this ball is more angular down the lane than the Black Widow.  What more can we say besides that it hooks, and hooks where you want it to hook: mid lane and down the lane. Even with the weaker layout that was used, the ball still flat-out hooked. For hammer loversor at that any bowler who wants hook, this is a must have. Lower to medium rev players I highly recommend using this ball in box finish. For higher rev players polish would be suggested  

Way to go BG and Hammer, looks like things are back on track in the high end line. This is your best high end release since the Big Deal.

Drilled with the pin under bridge, cg kicked out an inch and a half right of midline. Coverstock left in oob condition. I was really surprised by the smooth and controlled reaction I got with the Hawg Zilla. When the Black Widow and Hawg Wild were overreacting the HZ allowed me to play more direct with a softer touch. It began a mild midlane move which increased predictably to about 50 to 53 feet or so, from that point on it held its trajectory smack dab into the pocket. Light hits carried very, very well and flush pocket hits kept the pins low rarely leaving fast 10's or solid 8 or 9's. On two different nights in practice on a medium to lightly oiled THS I shot 248, 279, 279, 258 (I take 5 balls to practice and normally shoot two games per ball).

I'm not sure how the HZ will perform on heavy oil. I thought it would burn up on the Medium condition but it held the line exceedingly well, certainly better than my Black Widow. I know it was designed for floods but unless I take the converstock down some I can't see it as a heavy oiler but I may be wrong. At any rate, on a medium THS it was awesome. 10 out of 10.

AWESOME ball !!

I am a cranker with high ball speed, average around 225-230 the last few years. 2 of the nights I bowl, we have heavy oil with moderate backends. So I wanted a hooker, and boy did I get it.

The ball is drilled, CG dead center between fingers and thumb, no weight, straight up drilling. I gave it a little shining.    WOW !

I threw the ball between 3rd and 4th arrow out to about the 5 board. The ball gets through the heads clean, goes into a little arcing hook, then it snaps to the hole. A perfect reaction for me on this condition. The only thing is, if you hit the ball too soon or get too soft, say hello to the nose. But thats a good thing, it lets you know when you throw it like a donkey.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO THROW ON SHORT OIL OR DRY LANES!!!!  I REPEAT, DO NOT ATTEMPT
When it hits the pins, the pins stay low, which is exactly what you want, thus increasing carry by a lot. Most new balls throw the pins up, which is why you see so many solid hits, especially those 7 pins.

Best ball I have thrown yet, BY FAR. Nothing even comes close to the HAWG ZILLA NOTHING.

At 1st I was only a ebonite man now that I got the hawg zilla hammer is now going to be a permenant member of my arsenal. The ball has a great backend and rides the lanes well I only tried it on heavy oil in box condition I'm going to polish it and try meduim oil lanes this I'm shooting high with this ball 279 the first nite. I suggest this to anyone ready to step there game up.

Have had this ball a couple of months now and it has to be my favorite ball of all time so far. Wasn't till recently that i started using it all the time. I have had a number of balls from the black widow, paradigm, Ulitimate inferno, infinite one, EPX, and so on a so forth.

The ball has a the factory finish. I drilled it with the CG dead center and the pin about an inch away at 4 oclock from my finger. (The wet/dry suggested drilling). I throw it hard and up the 12-15 board depending on the lanes. Sence I have had this ball i make usually a board move throughout a 3 game series. The last 6 league nights i have averaged 240 a game with it and the last 3 nights have been shooting 510 or higher after two games.

For the most part it acts more like an angular ball with the speed i put on it. Heads straight for the pocket and makes one small snap at the end. But if you get it out to far it has a nice smooth arc that comes driving in. If you throw it slower with more revs it has a large but easily controlled smooth arc that doesn't quit.  

I'm right handed, average 225ish, medium ball speed, little hand, too old to keep up with you young guys I had mine drilled 3 3/8 by 3 3/8 my usual Columbia pattern.  I had an Action Max drilled the same and used that most of the time but lately I've been leaving a lot of ten pins, 5-6 a game.  So I pulled out my HawgZilla and WOW, everything is going down.  We bowl 4 game sets and this week I've had a 959 and a 994; both should have been an easy grand but I still can't keep a clean set.  This ball is smooth, predictable and carries everything, so far.  I haven't made any surface adjustments but looks like I don't need too.  It been a while since I bought a Hammer product but with Columbia selling out I may have found a new line I like.

Just got this ball used on here and it does great the pin is to the right of the ring finger and CG straight down. With the pin in that location it gets down the lane with ease and makes a sharp turn left. It has the hockey stick type of hook. Its a very strong ball but with the layout if there is carry down the backend dies a little but putting more hand into it corrects that. This ball has great hitting power and carry. If you miss pocket this ball has pins going all over the deck, but with it being so angular on the backend it does tend to leave splits if your not on your mark. So far Im pleased with it, My first game I shot was a 231 with it and shot some other 200+ games with it. Great ball if you can get one!
