ok i currently own absolute curve and spike... so looking for heavy oil ball and something drier end....i like to throw down and in stroker stlye medium revs....basically want a 4 ball aresnal from hammer...now if you think i should replace curve or spike im willing to listen to all suggestions...thanks for your help
-
You have your mediums covered. Look at the Arson Low-flare for drier conditions and pick your poison at the top end. If you want to stick with Hammer there is the Deadly Aim or Black widow legend, Ebonite has the Pivot, or Track has the MX16 if you want to stick under the Ebonite brands.
I feel like the Ebonite brands don't have a true heavy oil ball right now, if I had my pick I would go with the Radical Guru or Brunswick Mastermind
-
Another vote for the Mastermind.
-
I am a low rev guy, and throw the Legend effectively on the heaviest patterns. Much better for me than Mastermind or other hook monster solid.

funny thing wanna stick with hammer looking at rotogrip for a while....only because hammer ball seems to be alot overlapping...why still only got the two balls...hammer guy wants to come on here straighten things out for me great if not im going keeping looking into rotogrip...im convinved sinister would be a good ball for me...but thats why i got to go see proshop guy see what he says

the black widow legend is definitely a stronger piece.
depends on how strong of a layout and surface used
Low flare is great dry lane ball for sure

OOB BW Legend I don't think can handle a true heavy oil pattern. I love my BW Legend, but when I know I am playing on a heavy pattern I know it's more than likely not the first ball out of my bag. Of course there will be variables (i.e. layout and surface) but I don't think Hammer has a legit heavy oil ball. Maybe they will address it when they announce their next releases.
-
the only true heavy oil ball is the cold blood and the absolut hook
-
Hammer has an information release tomorrow and its not a heavy oiler
it will be good though
-
What information release
-
my bad, its the 25th
not the 18th
-
Also consider the Nail Titanium for drier conditions.
-
Here are my recommendations:
Heavy Oil from Hammer: Bad Ass (earlier roll than Legend) OR BW Legend with 3000 surface
Drier Lanes: new Viral (Vibe core with strong pearl cover).
Dave81644 - the new ball coming soon from Hammer has been what I have been waiting for a long time... Can't wait to throw that new beauty & it looks good too!
