Raw Hammer - Black / Purple / Teal

my pap 3.5 inchecs over and 1 inch down, 12 inch axis with 10 degree axis tilt, I have high revs, I did a layout 50 x 4.5 x 40. I am able roll over 5 arrow straight up along side of the gutter and hook it into the pocket. I bowled with to different house and oil condition did not matter. I only have had for week.

I have the Hammer Web (with the orange lettering) for medium to heavy oil and that is my usual go to ball. However, when the lanes are dry or have light oil, it's impossible for me to keep the ball to the right of head pin no matter how far I move left and throw out right. I have even had to polish it with Creating the Difference 6500 polish to get more length before the snap despite throwing 15+ mph. I also have a 2001 Tour Edition Faball Blue Hammer for dry conditions but there wasn't enough hook in light oil. Yes I could have sanded the ball for more grip, but I need this ball to keep its hook pattern for those days where the lanes are bone dry.

I ended up getting the this ball as the in-between for those light to medium oil conditions and I'm glad I did. The ball has lots of snap at the end and accelerates into the pocket just like the Web. does in heavy oil Plenty of power too and performance for strikes. Don't let the category that this ball is in fool you. There is nothing about this ball that is "lower performance." It's just their naming system. This is a great ball for those of us with big hooks in light oil patterns.
