I drilled mine up about 5 pm today (1/25/06).

Heres a pic: http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=1/2419105632.jpg&s=x4

Threw 3 games on a broked down shot. First off, this ball is SWEET. I put a light coat of polish on it because i was wanting to get The One, but my boss brought this bad boy in, and i was like GIMMIE GIMMIE. So anyway, this ball revs up very very nice. Strong late midlane roll, and since there was carry down, not much flip, but a nice move to the pocket. Again, it wasnt the best shot to throw it on, but it hits HARD, just like the rest of my Hammers. More to come.

Mine got holes in it last night before league.

My first 2 shots ran over the 2 pin going left.

All I have to say is WOW.

This ball is NUTS!

I need to catch up on a few reviews, and this will be one of them.

Stay tuned.

I drilled mine up, if u didnt already read my post above.

Drilling is the same drilling recomended on The One, Pin Under ring, CG 3 inches from thumb. (Cg was 6 3/4 through cg from pin)

This ball freakin rolls. Its very strong and dosnt over react at all for me. Mid lane toll is very strong, and the backend reaction is not as snappy as The One, but the ball covers just as many boards, if not more. (FTI, mine has light coat of polish on it. I will be hitting it with a heavier coat to get it to be more like The One oob)

what kind of polish are you guys putting on the road hawg? did it make it have more backend with the polish or less?

Just curious..

Road Hawg is very angular, more than other Hammer ball. I had to polish it and it made it a skid/flip ball. For heavier volume conditions, I can always use a little surface. The cover change is awesome

DanR · « **Reply #12 on:** January 31, 2006, 09:23:39 AM »

jkiser01, I just reply to your message concerning the polish. Little polish with good pressure mamde a big difference. Little polish is better than a nig glob of polish

 So a guy like me that has a down/in throw between 1st and 2nd arrow, speed about 15-16. Will this ball be good for me?

Tim,
Just got this ball today, and rolled 2 games with it (my friend and teammate Bobby Brandt of Gebhardt's drilled it).
Must say that this is an absolute AWESOME ball !!!
It would most certainly be a great weapon for you (or for anyone else).
