Hammer Diesel Torque 30x4x30 Control Drilling. This symmetric is so cool, even when the heads burn up a little I just stay close to the track and keep pounding the pocket. This ball was essential for me making the cut at the PBA60 National in Ft Wayne, Indiana last August. I wish I would have bought this ball earlier!!
I am an novice bowler with a 152 average. I was looking for a new ball to replace my 15 year old one. Since I do not have much of a hook I opted for a mid-performance that would give me some more action. This ball worked great right out of the box. I had it drilled at the pro shop and bowled one practice game to check it out before the league play. My practice game was 158. As I got a little more familiar with the balls response my league game scores were 168 and 169. I am really looking forward to next season with this ball.
I have this ball for about a month and it truly lives up to its name. I've played tight, inside, opened the lane way up and my Diesel Torque continues to impress. I have at least 10 275 or better games and can play just about anywhere with it. A great benchmark ball. A great compliment to my original Black Widow. Nothing hits like a Hammer!
The Diesel Torque offers a great amount of hook with control for the heavier medium lane patterns. The cover / core combo really makes this ball a great addition for a stronger benchmark ball for various patterns. Can move inside as the lanes dry up and the Diesel Torque does not lose hitting power. Another great rolling piece from the Hammer brand.
I know this isn't one of the brand new releases, but this is a real multi purpose ball you should have. On fresh oil, it can play down and in with lots of hit to through the pins, and when they dry out a little just move left and swing it with no loss of energy. I really like this one in my bag at all times.
