New ball
« on: July 03, 2003, 10:24:03 AM »
Looking for a new ball... Partial to hammers,
Bowling style: Lots of power, high revs on oily lane conditions.
Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.

TRy the Blade particle. It is awesome! I have more hand than I need. I find most eq. over reacts. I have found 2 companies that work well for me Hammer Blade series and Visionary Gryphon and Executioner lines.

I just used a Blade particle on a 39ft flat oil sport shot. It's drilled up on over ring and cg out with wt hole. OOB finish.

  The ball revs up the whole way with a strong,but not jumpy, move off the dry.
Rolled strong and true. The carry was great. I left more 8 and 9 pins than 10's.
   Even on a sport shot I could swing it some with a small area. I was playing 25 over 15 put to 8. I should have played 35 over 20 out to 15. Move in last game and was crushing the pocket and not having to throw harder as I was on the old line.

I'm going to bring the surface up a little because this shot will be the heaviest I will normally see. I need about 5 boards of less hook out of and Look out!

Hammers are very sweet if you rev it up.

I have a Pearl drilled 135 deg. pin above bridge and cg near track polished to 2000. Dry lanes almost play like a wall for me with this set up. if I get on it with some speed it arc from the midlane big time. if I get it into the dry to sooner it hook sets. I threw 2 Brooklyn in 6 games with it. I can just let it go with my A game and not have to break the wrist. Very sweet.

Give the Blade series a try. they are the beast series I have tried.

Thanks for your inputs, I've really been struggling with oily lanes lately. I currently roll with the reaper and it's an AWESOME ball, but I have done some researh and I'm leaning toward the turbo diesel,I just don't know to many people that roll a HAMMER. So the question I have for you guys is how does this ball react when the lanes begin to break down?
