Hammer Doom or BWP
« on: July 20, 2007, 11:30:41 AM »
Looking for a ball to fit beneath my Hammer Turbo Diesel.  This ball is great for medium to oily conditions, but i am looking for a ball to cover medium to drier conditions.  Would you guys suggest a hammer doom or bwp more?

There both great, great balls. And they both will take cover adjustments very well. The Doom is the less expensive and will never disapoint.

Agree with what Bluerrpilot has said.  

The BWP is an awesome ball though...so it is a tough choice.

For a Med/Dry ball, maybe the Toxic on the stronger side (might overlap with what you have) or the Vibe (love the ball).

I would say go with a Doom. I just shot a 279 with it about a month ago.

Both the Doom and the BWP are more of a Medium oil ball, both will need to be drilled really weak to work on drier lanes.  I would suggest the Blue or Cherry Vibe for a Medium/Dry lane ball, that is what they were both designed for.

Hope this helps...

The DOOM works great on med to light oil conditions.  The DOOM is going to be a lot more controllable than the BWP.  The BWP is going to be more angular than the DOOM.

I would pick the DOOM over the BWP but that's me.  I tend to like bowling balls that offer more control and the DOOM has the edge over the BWP in that regard.

IMO, if you are wanting dryer conditions than med oil, I'd suggest:
1) Cherry Vibe
2) Doom
3) Blue Vibe

Your BWP will be to much ball for dryer lanes, no matter how you drill it, you'll be throwing away more money than it's worth, for dry conditions.
