Title: If you could only bring???????
Post by: chitown on February 28, 2008, 01:10:04 AM: If you could only bring 3 of the same Hammer bowling balls to a tourney, which would you bring and why?

Of course you can drill them different and make cover adjustments.

Post by: crankncrash on February 28, 2008, 09:12:29 AM: Anger to cover oil with a controlled motion.

Widow to cover everything else

Doom/blue vibe for lighter conditions

Post by: chitown on February 28, 2008, 12:03:32 PM: This is actually a tough question for me. Hammer has so many good bowling balls that can work well with cover changes.

Tournament conditions can be any end of the spectrum from heavy to dry. I guess my choice would be the DOOM.

DOOM #1 Pin above and next to the ring 4.5" from pap, cover at 500 abralon

DOOM #2 pin above ring 5" from pap, cover at 2000 abralon

DOOM #3 Pin above middle finger 6" from pap, cover in box condition

Post by: bluerrpilot on February 28, 2008, 06:52:04 PM: 3 Bites. Because the ball is very versatile and the covers are pretty strong. It's easier to make a strong covered ball weak than make a weak cover ball strong. In fact, I have 2 BWS and 2 BWB. Those 4 with different covers and layouts give me just about any look I want
