Road Hwag or Hawg Wild?
« on: February 04, 2006, 04:33:12 PM »
Whats the difference between the Road Hawg and the Hawg Wild?  Both balls seem to handle the same conditions.  From what I have read the Road Hawg is a better ball for going coast to coast.  Is this true?

Was the intention of Hammer to have the Hawg Wild be more of a strong arc ball for straighter lines and the Road Hawg to be more of a coast to coast type of ball?

The Road Hawg is MUCH more angular on the backs.    

The Wild is more of an arc reaction.

In OUR area the Hawg Wild is one of the most angular Solid REactives I have seen.

Just eaten it up and Hammerin em by one of our very good bowlers around here!

Boy does it look good.  I view it as a Brunswick Nemesis ++++.

And that is sayin somethin because the Nemesis looks great around here too! Just less!

REgards,

Lucky- If the Wild is angular in your area, then you haven't seen anything yet!!!

I have the Road and Wild drilled with exactly the same layout.    

There is no comparison.  

2 completely different reactions off of the spot.

Jason is dead on the roadie i threw last night all i can see is wow what a flipping backend reaction. This ball does what i had hoped the One would do for me and did not. Hawg wild is angular but the roadie is just stupid backend wise, the roadie cut through carrydown like it was not there. You could swing the lane all day with the roadie with any type of stronger drilling for backend reaction. Mine is stacked next ring finger about a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 drilling with no weight hole.
