Where have you been bud? I haven't seen a vid of your in a while.
How do you like these balls? I love my NM and just bought an angular one.

GO BEARS! Super Bowl bound!

I'd like to bowl there. As long as you have good revs, you have from about 10 to the gutter at the break point. Pins fly pretty good too. Angular One seemed to drive harder, but a pearl saving a ton of energy for the dry is the norm. Looked like it would be pretty hard to get too deep with that ball on that shot. The more you moved left, the harder it flipped.

Telling it like it is.

This vid was right on time. I've been going back and forth with chitown on how to redrill my no mercy. He suggested #6, and after talking to him and watching your vid I'm totally sold. Thanks

1" left of thumb center,it moved alot like the one in the vid.I was prety happy but my pro shop guy said I would like the drill on the second one better,he was right.the only problem I had with the first one was it needed plenty of oil,pin below grip.the pin above the grips worked better for me.I also like the 4000 vrs.2000 grit.

I'm really curious how the reaction would be with the HART about 3" left of my thumb. Mine right now has the HART 3/4" left of thumb and it's a beast. I'm going to be getting another NM after the holidays. This ball is fun to throw. I love how fast it knocks the pins back.

That's one thing I hate. I hate trading a ball in and wishing I still had it.
My PRO SHOP guy takes trade ins if I buy the ball from him. He sells used equipment along with new. He actually told me he sells a lot of used equipment. He usually gives me about 75 doallrs in store credit for trade ins. 65 dollars for mid priced balls like the DOOM.
I have slowed down on the ball buying this season because of the great success i've had with my HAMMERS. Each ball rolls great and are very different from eachother.
Out of the balls I have in my arsenal the BW is the only one I had trouble with. It has a very different roll to it compared to most balls. However once you get used to the reaction it's a very good ball. There are times when this ball will be the only one that can carry those corners during the transition. I feel it has a lot to do with the banana arc it has.
I now only use 1 pin location on every ball in my arsenal. I let the covers and cores separate the reactions. Even with each ball having the same pin location there very much different from each other. The PAIN has it's mid lane grab that makes it special and the DOOM has it's length and back end. Both of those balls drilled exactly the same. Since I have been taken this approach my game has got a lot better.
The balls I have right now will probably be with me for a very long time. There still are a few balls I want to pick up. So I will grab them after the holidays. That will be it for the rest of the season or longer.

I love this ball!everytime I throw it I find myself playing lines I never thought I would.tonight on my sunday night league the mids were totaly blown out.our top averager bowler whos been posting 700's everynight and has a 300 the first half was lost,shot 436!I tried staying right of center and pump up the speed but the backends had alot of carrydown,I did'nt do so hot either.third game I ended up at 40,targeting 23-21 out to about 18-15 and shot 236.I'm finding out this ball can be played anywhere on the lanes,my widow is just collecting dust.tight line,easy shot,blown out open house mess,this ball scores on them all!

+ or - 10 boards? I like area as well as the next bowler, but please.
It's really hard to judge a balls reaction based on this oil pattern. I'd be willing to bet my Groover could socre on this pattern.

Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!![](../Forum/icon_smile_tongue.gif)

I would think twice before I'd say that!

Although accuracy wasn't exactly at a premium and the two balls are drilled similarly, I thought the No Mercy had a lot more movement on the backend to and THROUGH the pin deck. The Angular One isn't exactly a slouch on the backends, either. However, it appeared that the NM was a fair amount stronger. With that strong of a move off of the buff, I think I might look into my first Hammer product since the pigs ate my brother.

Had one John. Make sure the HART is in your track and refuse any misaligned NM. Didn't like the NM at all. YMMV.
bass's SD-73 impressed me more at BAV at The Hitter.

Scott, you can't compare that fluffer to the Herculean ball that I throw. He's made his mark in bowling kicking out that half-7 hit while real men, like myself, toss pins around with reckless abandon.

man it just pisses me off to no end to see the reaction from videos of other people throwing stuff that i have and i cant get a wrinkle from it. I just dont get it.Every ball i have ever bought that was advertised for heavier oil has been nothing in my hands. What am i doing so wrong. The nm looks great in this video and i have on occasion seen results from mine like that ,but never with any decent oil.
--------------------
my style, the art of bowling without bowling
-
Keep in mind, you may be throwing your ball on an entirely different condition than you see in that video. It appears there's very little oil outside creating quite a nice cushion.

He's using the #6 layout. This is the same layout I have on mine. I see a similar type of reaction. I suggest using this layout if you have a little bit of hand into the ball. Just place the pin above the fingers 5" to 5.5" from pap and put the HART left of thumb (right hander).
--------------------
HAMMER NO MERCY is Un-freaking real! Using this ball is like cheating!

He's got 1 hell of a ball reaction with that layout.....dudes a major cranker though....he's crossing at least 30 boards....with supposedly fresh oil....
on my low oil lanes that I have to bowl on...I'd need every board plus half the next lane to keep that ball in play....

I like the "Psycho" music to go along with it!

Videos are from Nov 2006 .. makes both balls look great!

That is the most walled up place I have ever seen on a video. I have never seen a ball move that much. I have a huge number amount of revs, but never get something like that. Wow.

fixed? this is my blue vibe bowled in league play
Just because someone can get a ball do roll differently to how u can get it to roll don't mean the lanes are fixed! and my black widow was on FRESHLY oiled lanes and was the 2nd game i had bowled with the ball
when u see people like robert smith or even tony reyes throwing the big wheel are they on fixed lanes?
-
if u watch my release do i roll my wrist ? i don't think so revs generated with finger lift not cranking
i used to crank but im more of a power stroker and why would anybody want to put up a bad shot, its best to record your good shots so when u do make bad shots u can compare the differences in how to do it right and wrong
and people who tend to moan about other peoples videos never seem to put there own videos up, and no i don't bowl on a wall shot we don't get that luxury in england, league aves here a real aves not wall shot aves like u get in the states, i bowled in Vegas on vacation with a house ball bowled no thumb shot 240 was so easy, 80% of the people who post high aves on here from american leauge aves would never ave the same in england,
-
pro condition is way diffrent to the league conditions so no id not be a pro, but id ave 210+ on a walled up league condition
