Trap By RCD from NRH, TX
Reviewed on: 10/3/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Great Weight, Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This is a great ball! Will it improve your average like others stated maybe, but not 20 pins, that's up to you! I bought this ball because I like the Hammer Jigsaw Corner.. I had it drilled almost the same with the pin right above my fingers. The ball gets down the lane a little farther than the Corner and is a little smoother on the backend...Now this ball Will skid a little out of the box if you throw it hard like I do if there is oil... But it is an easier ball to read over the Corner, it seems to roll more of an arch than just a violent move to the pocket like the corner. the Trap looks good going down the lane and hits hard.. It does need a sharp move to the pocket, if not I would leave a lot of corner pins... I throw the ball about 18-19 mph with a good amount of revs.. I'm not a cranker but close.. The Trap is a good compliment to the Corner.. it's much more versitile than the corner I average 215-220 in league and 203 in sport... this is one of the best balls I've thrown in a couple years.

Great Ball By Bats from NY
Reviewed on: 12/16/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend All I can say is WOW Second game out of the box 300. I kid you not. Fisnished with a 700+ Series Great Rolling Ball, nice smooth reaction through the oil. It seems when its thrown that it doesn't want to drive, but it absolutely buries the pocket. Had Original No Mercy- Great Ball, had the Black Widow Pearl- Ok, but i think i drilled it wrong. Overall - Nothing Hits Like A Hammer :) Was this review helpful to you?

Best I've Owned! By DoubleDTrain from Stow, OH
Reviewed on: 2/5/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Great reaction Best Uses:Tournaments, Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I was looking for a new ball when my teammate, who owns a pro shop, suggested a few balls he thought would work best for me. I settled on the Trap because I liked what I heard and the design is awesome! This ball hooks more for me than any ball I have used or owned. I am averaging 216, which is 10 pins higher than I have ever averaged. No doubt this ball is one of the best! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

All I can say is WOW By D Moment from Hinesville, GA
Reviewed on: 8/1/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Cons:Hard to keep clean, Violent Backend Motion Best Uses:Tournaments, Sport shots, Deep inside shot, Med-Heavy Oil Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Got this ball in drilled up a couple of days ago at my local pro shop. All I could say was WOW. I left the cover stock as is. First game stood at about 27 and rolled the ball between the 20 and 15 arrows and the ball got through the front part of the lane with no problem and made one hell of a turn on the backend. I bowled a 215 with it after having a 10 month layoff. Next game tried an outside shot and stood about 20 board and rolled over the 10 arrow out to about 4th board and made it back to the 1-3 pocket with room to spare. Hammer has one laid one trap that is going to catch a lot of prey. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Best Ball I've Ever Used! By Scotty from Ohio
Reviewed on: 8/27/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I thought I loved the original Jigsaw, but when I used my friend's Trap, I knew I needed to have one. Got mine drilled pin up, and couldn't be any happier! My average went up 25 pins in just 3 games! And I'm consistently bowling from 200-220 each game, up from a 175 average with the original Jigsaw. I throw a lot of spin, and this ball will come back EVERY time! This is the PERFECT ball! NOTHING Hits Like A Hammer!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Longtime bowler, this is a really nice b By NE Patriots 2011 from Burlington, CT
Reviewed on: 3/15/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, High quality hard hittin, Flawless Surface Cons:Can "over flip" at times, Ugly Graphics Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Inside shot heavy oil, Tournaments, Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I've been bowling for 35 years with the last 10 years using reactive resin balls most of the time. I've owned and used many balls and thus far this has been my favorite. Goes down the lane a long time before making a very strong back end move. I now carry almost all "light" pocket hits with destructive force. The only drawback has been that "flush" strike shots have resulted in solid/stone 8-pins and 9 pins. Was this review helpful to you?

awesome bowling ball By wayo from laredo, tx
Reviewed on: 3/11/2011 Unverified Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend this ball was actually something i won at tournament but it honestly picked up my game alot. i bowled a 787 my first series with it. im a junior bowler and i thaught this ball was gonna be to much. it is even better than my virtual gravity. I like to play about 25 boards and it comes back very nice. it drived hard into the pocket. im hoping hammer comes out with another ball like this one. Was this review helpful to you?

Great Ball love the reaction !!! By Tank from Burlington, NC
Reviewed on: 12/8/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line: Increased games from 150 to 210 in a few weeks. Love the reaction of the ball. Gives great late break and sends the pins flying. I would suggest this ball to anyone looking for a ball to give them a nice line to play when the lanes are covered with oil. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

excellent on the back end of lane By rj from Rochester, n.y.
Reviewed on: 3/27/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I bowl in a league where you need a good reaction on the back end of the lane. This ball did exactly that. It was smooth through the front end which is usually heavily oiled. Once it got to the back end of the lane it hit the pocket with tremendous carry power.
