I just bought 3 like new Hammer balls on Ebay
« on: September 23, 2007, 12:25:53 PM »
I just bought a Anger, Toxic, and a Cherry Vibe. It was a really good deal, so I couldn't pass it up. I'm looking really forward to having these things plugged and redrilled.

You bought 3 more balls and you already and you still have all the ones listed in your signature?? How many leagues do you bowl in to justify an 11 ball arsenal? LOL..

Just curious..

Why not donate the Inferno? There are plenty of High School programs that would be happy to take it off your hands.

I think he is going to build an arsenal from the complete line from Hammer :-)

LOL. I think I'm done now with buying, lol. The only reason why I got these was because I needed a light oil ball in the Cherry Vibe, I needed a ball to replace my Absolute Inferno with the Toxic, and I don't know/think if my Black Widow has many games left in it so that is where the Anger would come in. I also couldn't pass up the cheap price. I'm still debating on what to do about the Absolute Inferno. I might just donate it to my pro shop, bowling alley, youth program, or just try to sell it. I'm still not sure though.

somehow i dont think think the toxic will replace your absolute, for me the absolute was like the ultimate in contorl and predicatability, the toxic is a go down the lane and flip over ball, maybe youll lay your toxic out to be contorled but i jsut dont see it being close to the aboslute inferno

do the kids a favor and DON'T give it to them.  Its nothing personal and I love the absolute, but that 16lb bullshiza is how I got hurt and I don't want to see anybody else throwing one when they shouldn't be.  I understand it if you are a big guy, but not really still, anyway point is, when you have a guy like me (6 ft 175lbs) you don't need a 16lb ball, I was dumb and now have a screwed up wrist to show for it and I'm down to using POS 14lb balls that are a PITA to find.  Giving a 16lb ball to a kid that NEEDS it, is like giving a sharp knife to a kid that needs a butter knife, its nice that they have something, but it will likely end up hurting them in the long haul.

Hey bud, I don't think the Toxic is a very good replacement for the Absolute either. Belive it or not the Blue Vibe at 4000 makes a very good replacement for the Absolute. The Toxic is more skid/flip than the AI and doesn't have the midlane that the AI has either. The Anger would even make a good replacement if it was drilled kinda weak and brought up to 4000

I also think the Anger makes a better compliment to the BW than a replacement. The hook and roll characteristics of the two are totally different. I would just replace the BW with another BW.

Hey crank, if it makes you feel any better, there are a number of tour and regional players using 14lb equipment.

I'm only 18 years old, 5'9 1/2, and weigh about 140lbs. I have never had any problems with throwing 16lbs.
