Black Faball Hammer (Great Ball)
« on: November 08, 2012, 05:41:25 PM »
just picked one up at a resale shop for $5 a little nicked up, but not bad for the money. I know it is a urethane solid, but that's about it. Any extra info about it would be nice. Got this info from BBV

Its urethane.Just early and smooth for a urethane piece.
Great ball for when the lanes are on fire

It had a true dynamic core, but the differential was fairly low by today's standards. I believe it was around .024". In today's environment, it can be useful to reduce over/under ball reactions on light to medium oil, depending on surface and bowler's release.

love this ball! my gosh I think I finally found a ball that works for me! I don't throw the ball very fast, but I am rev dominant and this ball is phenomenal! It is smooth and strong and very rarely over reacted. It carried like no other. I have been struggling this year shooting in the mid 400s series wise averaging 152. Tonight with this ball I opened  with a 234 and followed that with a 170, and 162 for a 566. Last two games were bowler errors not the balls fault. LOL!

I only wish now that I could find a ball nearly like it, but with just a bit more length to it. My Dry/R has more length, but will not carry like that Black Hammer.
