Coverstock of Hawg/Review.........
« on: October 02, 2005, 11:00:19 AM »
Is the Hawg full particle or is it a low load particle ball?

What conditions have you guys/girls had the most success with it on?

What conditions have you guys/girls had the least success with it on?

From my experience i think this ball is very strong. I have only tried it at 2
houses.

Drilling:
Pin under bridge, cg kicked out 2 inches, and an x-hole down low.

One is old HPL lanes. Lots of oil in the middle, a little dry track in between 5 and 10 and a little OB outside on the gutter. With an up the back release, this ball goes long and then turns and sets up. It keeps the pins low and just rips them. When the heads start to break down, i had to move deep and look for a break point down the lane. If i send it right early, the ball just hits friction too early and hooks.

Second place, is an AMF house. Oil pattern is 35 feet, 10 to 10, a little friction between and 10 with an OB 5 to the gutter. When i tried it dull this ball is too much. When it comes out of the oil, it just makes a left turn. The only way i can play the lanes is by swinging between the 4th and 5th arrows out to between the 5 and 10 and the ball just rips into the pocket. I tried the ball polished and it helps gets the ball down the lane a little longer but the reaction is stil too strong. I think a weaker layout would be better for this house condtion pattern.
