After doing and working a few Hammer/Ebonite demo days, I must say I am impressed in the direction that the new Hammer line has taken.  So impressed that I've dumped all of my equipment(up in the attic with the rest of the classics) for a new Hammer/Ebonite arsenal.  I've just purchased a Vicious Strike, Deal, Switch Blade, Ice, and Big Blue Spare.  I've only thrown the Deal and Ice so far but I like what I get out of both of them, I just need another step down from the Ice and I may get another ball for the case of an extreme wet/dry situation(Looking at Pure Hammer or Sharp Blade possibly).

I've thrown every ball in the series so far except for the Big Block diesel, but I have seen plenty in the hands of people I bowl with and good friends.  I know there's not much action on this board so if you have any questions about the balls in the line-up....drillings, etc let me know and I'd be glad to help.  I'll post some mini reviews tomorrow or wednesday night and maybe even some videos of the stuff.  So keep an eye out...

Welcome Aboard!!!!!  I don't want to tell you how many Hammers I've got now, but I guess I got hooked after I went to a demo day.....If you like the Deal, you'll like the Real Deal if you run up against some heavy oil.  Finally found a Vicious Attack at a really good used price -- that's my Christmas present to myself --- I'm still using my Hammer Vicious quite a bit.  Hopefully my "Hammerhead" T-Shirt will show up as a Christmas present.  Good luck and good bowling!!!!
