Hammer Question
« on: February 26, 2007, 04:11:29 AM »
Hey Hammer guys, I have a question.  One of my customers uses all Hammer products, and I need help selecting his next ball.

Heavy Oil - Hawg
Medium - Deal
dry - Pure Hammer


The Deal and the Hawg hook crazily for him, and he doesn't use them often.  The pure Hammer was a great fit for him.  However, he needs a ball between the Deal and the Pure Hammer,and not sure what would be best for him...He is thinking of the Widow, but I am afraid that ball still hooks too much..

What do you guys think....

Thanks a bunch..

Ok, the surface changed help the Deal get further down the lane, and now the Vibe will be a perfect fit between the Deal and the Pure.  I ordered a 3-4 in pin?  Any suggestions on a lenthy smooth reaction for a Hammer product?? Thanks guys...

Try a 4.5" pin to PAP and stack it with the CG. Then, adjust the surface to meet the need.

Also, contact Hammer Brand Manager, Mr. Brian Graham (bgraham@ebonite.com). He's very helpful and responsive when he's available.

Jablosa,
Lengthy & Smooth, depending on the length you want, I agree w/ KDawg, I suggest either 4X4 or 5X5 (or somewhere in the middle).

Good Luck!!

Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it.  I myself am a Storm guy, so want to ask the right people for the right product.  However, I am leaning on Trying a Hammer Toxic...I heard it is one of the most versatile balls made..you guys agree...

I just bought a Toxic over the weekend to accompany my no mercy. My toxic is drilled pin under my ring putting the pin approx. 4.5 to my PAP;. All I can say is the Toxic is the most versitile ball I have ever thrown. I have never owned a Ball that gets through the mids as well has the toxic does, then its snaps back to thepretty hard to the pocket. Works great on medium oil, when the lanes get burnt I have to move sa little left but still can play a better line compared to my no mercy which was terrible on burnt lanes. Over all, the toxic is great.

No I totally disagree!  The TOXIC is a reactive pearl that has a lot of length and responds to friction big time.  I find this ball only good for walled up house patterns.

HAMMER NO MERCY is Un-freaking real!  Using this ball is like cheating!

Phoenix,

The Pure Hammer is not a urethane ball.  The black one was a urethane blend and the burgandy one was certainly all reactive.  



With that said, the Blue Vibe with a normal lable shift drilling would be your best choice.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!
