Hits like a Hammer! By Dan the man from Tulsa, Oklahoma
Reviewed on: 7/3/2010 Unverified Pros:Great Weight, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend It hits hard with a lot of pin action. Good back end action into the pocket. I have several other balls but none for medium oil lanes. I needed a ball for the light to medium oil lanes because the lane breaks down fairly fast during the league night. You need a ball to handle the changing lane conditions. This ball is good and I bowled a 222 the first time I used the ball. I would recomend it to others. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

My First Hooking Ball By Greg from Fort Sill, Oklahoma
Reviewed on: 9/22/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This is one of my very first ball that i learned how to hook. Im usally a straight bowler but when i got this ball it made me think twice after my friend tought me how to hook. I had the ball drilled for the strong layout where you have a strong and controlable hook on heavy oil conditions. The more revs you give this ball the stronger its gonna hook with some major back end action! This ball is very controlable when the lanes start to dry up you just have to adjust to it.

In the pocket, this ball is deadly! By Big George from Pittsgrove, NJ
Reviewed on: 10/23/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design, Great Weight Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I just upgraded from a Hammer Blade Pearl to the Grind. I was amazed at how deadly this ball is in the backend. Great hook, and it's very predictable. Also handles well when the oil starts breaking down. My average is 157, after using this ball, I have no problem bowling in the 190's. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
