If you called the shots...
« on: March 03, 2008, 05:46:54 AM »
What ball would you produce? Whether it be a No Mercy Pearl, Pearl Bite, maybe a different Raw Hammer ball...or maybe an true dry lane ball? lol. Just curious.

For me, I'd love to see a pearl version of the BWB...and maybe a Vibe that I could play on dry lanes lol. Plastic cover? lol.

isnt the black widow bite
just the black widow pearl with no polish


NO!  The BWP is a pearlized version of the BWS not the BITE.

yea but if u take off the polish on the bwp it hooks more then the solid,and if u polish up the bite it looks almost the same as bwp,seems like the same cover

I'd love to see a urethane ball with a core - e. g. the Raw Hammer core, but a Vibe is also O.K. - or a semi-urethane ball like the Pure Hammers. Something symmetrical, not too strong I think this would not only fill a gap in the overall arsenal as a smooth ball for drier lanes, it would also fit well the Hammer brand and its heritage

A Urethane Black Hammer with the Vibe (or maybe the Raw Hammer) core.

If I were calling the shots, I would build something that would sell, SO I would get on the epoxy band wagon, build a gas mask core ball with a mild epoxy cover that would cover more boards than anything on the market by about 5-7 boards.

Then I would sneak into the back room and formulate a ball that I would not let others have.. a MILD MILD urethane covered vibe.  O yes, revs, control and hit... ahhh thats the rub.

Then MAYBE I would look at producing a gasmask clear spare with full details on the gasmask.. ya know the look of the respirator the whole 9.

I'd combine my 2 fav balls, the doom cover with the No Mercy core, #1 layout, with a bright red and light blue cover that would glow purple when cranked down the lane!

I have posted this a few times, but they aren't listening.  I would make a green pearl particle and call it the ENVY.   Pearl particle on a raw hammer core

I am not convinced the Violet 3D is still a winner on much of today's slicker oils. I have one still around though it still is in great shape and treated me....OH so WELL in its early heyday it is TOO even and smooth on today's oils!

I compare it to my awesome Xfactor deuce in the solid Assymetric area and the Violet comes up lacking for me....TODAY!




LL, I think the core with a more current coverstock would more than handle the oil conditions of today.  It won't be like what it was before....but that's fine.

I totally agree with the urethane with a high end core.  Lane #1 has the Liberator which i'm going to buy!  I bowl on tough lane patterns all season and a couple of these patterns are short with very dry backends.  Reactive balls on these patterns are just hard to control.  This is where a urethane with a high end core will be a huge asset.  This type of ball is a plus for tournaments.

If I were calling the shots I would go back to the old company that was making the bowling bags. They lasted better.
