Post by: FastTracker33 on April 03, 2006, 06:36:38 AM
Hey everybody i just found out some awesome news straight from Hammer/Ebonite
I copy pasted it from my email here:
Brian,

 

Hammer is now working on a number of new performance bowling balls for next season.  We will have a new Raw Hammer ball, a new Hawg ball, and a new series that will be replacing the Diesels.  The new balls are set for release in June/July.

If you have additional questions, please contact me.

I like my HW, don't really need more length, as the Road Hawg gives, so I'm kinda wanting something with more 'pop' and I'll fix the length part. But that's me, and no one called from Hammer to ask me what I wanted, so I'll just have to wait and see.

As long as they have a particle ball or two in the mix, I'll be happy.  My Hawg and (used) Power Diesel have been a lifesaver for me this year.

My pro-shop just got in the new Raw Hammer and it's an extreme skid snap ball.  Almost to the point of hydro-planing.  Very good ball for the $ though.

By the way Brian,

I'm not much of a Hammer fan.  I was looking at the Doom for my wife.  I really need someone from Hammer to convince me to buy something other than Track.  Can you do such a thing?

Hey bud I used to only throw Track until I bought the Raw Hammer Doom.  Now my 4 ball arsenal consits of 3 Dooms and 1 animal.  The Doom is the best reactive ball I have ever owned in my life!  It's that good.

I also dulled down the Doom and it works great on heavy oil.  This ball is versatile.  I feel BTM is a little off on there numbers when it comes to this ball.  This ball will back end with the best of them and hits freaking hard.  Carry with this ball is unbelieveable.

This ball put Tracks exception to shame in my eyes.  I had two xceptions and this ball is is way better.  A lot more controllable and hits harder/carry's better.

To top it all off it looks cool.

I know you want to wait for the new Raw Hammer ball but don't forget it wont give you the same reaction as the Doom.

Plus if your looking for a solid version of the Doom just dull one.  It will handle heavy oil with out a problem dulled.  

When they finally do discontinue the Doom I will be buying about 10 of them to store away.

I plan on drilling up another Doom this summer to go along with my 3.  I am going to go into next season with an all Doom arsenal plus a plastic spare ball.

well i think i'm gonna wait to buy a new ball no matter what now read this from another email of mine i got from ebonite i thought i should ask them if they're making a new "One":

Brian,

 

Without giving away any details, yes there will be another ball in the One series. It will be available to pro shops in August.

 

Thank you for the inquiry,

Hammer33,
Hey, i get the impression that Hammer makes most of its equipment to be really really aggresive. Is that right? I know the Vibe isn't, but i'm talking about most of the more mainstream balls they produce, like The hawgs, diesels, doom, Deals, etc.

Is that anywhere near being right? lol. Iam asking, b/c i want to know if this new equipment is gonna be all hook hook hook, or anything less agressive.  

Hook is good, but i don't want to hook it off the lane, nor do i want to by a big hooking ball that i don't need, that might not be the right choice for a bowler like me.

Thanks!

Well i don't have an exact answer to your question but i'd imagine that these new balls Hammer are coming out with will be more aggresive hookers, but like i said i don't exactly know
