Shot 694 practice then First league night with it shot a 259,189,278 last game blew my 300 had 11 strikes only spare in 6th frame.

Radical Colors and a Radical Backend! By RickyMouse from Conway, AR
Reviewed on: 9/3/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Colorful Coverstock, Very Aggressive Backend, Hard Hitting, Good Distance Cons:None as of yet Best Uses:Medium oil Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Image Submitted by Reviewer:Customer Image (Radical Colors and a Radical Backend!) After getting a feel for this ball I really love it! This ball has a lot of distance on it and has a very aggressive back-end.Hits the pins hard and travels thru them like a freight train. I will have to admit that with the high polish finish, I had to slow my ball speed down considerably to keep the ball from traveling too far before it hooks.I plan to sand the finish slightly to get a better bite on the lane and use my normal ball speed. My previous ball was a RotoGrip Mutant Cell Pearl and this ball puts it to shame. If you're looking for a ball that has an aggressive back-end and hits hard, this ball is for you!

best ive ever had By shawn from St Paul, MN
Reviewed on: 4/18/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Very Forgiving, Looks Awesome, Tons of carry Cons:none Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend my brother bought me this bowling ball a week or so ago. I haven't been bowling for a few years now. Once i got a replacement (the guy at the pro shop got the wrong drilling instructions for the ball they were for a symmetrical core not an asymmetrical core) i changed up my layout from what i had always thrown. i went with a strong layout which seemed to work best at the house i shoot at. first three games out of the box were 178,235,and my very first 300. i couldn't ask for a better ball.

Very Impressed!! By Tony Ulrich Jr. from Riverview, FL
Reviewed on: 8/25/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Consistency, Strong Backend, Appearance, Control Cons:none Best Uses:Tournament, League Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Just purchased this ball last week and I am very familiar with Hammer products. This ball did exactly what the desription says...it turned some heads! After throwing a few shots with it you can see this ball has one of the strongest backend reactions of any ball I have thrown. I am an elite bowler averaging 235+ in league play and this ball does the job for sure. Shot 710 series with a 279 game the first night in league and I felt like I was still getting used to the ball after the second game. I would highly reccommend getting this ball if your planning on increasing your game! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

I love this ball By csmitty from Shaker Heights, OH
Reviewed on: 8/26/2011 Unverified Pros:Easy to handle Best Uses:Medium oil Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Thanks Hammer!! I just bought the taboo and the epidemic. The epidemic is a great compliment to the taboo when the lanes start to change. My average is 152 but I look forward to seeing it increase once I get use to using these bowling balls.

Does what it's advertised to do! By NO longer 10 pin Harv! from Fort Walton Beach, Fl
Reviewed on: 11/30/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Breaks hard late, carries well Cons:none Best Uses:Every day ball Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I used a tropical storm for my spares before I got the epidemic, not any more, it's my all purpose ball (except for the 10pin). I love this ball on any lane conditions. It breaks late and hard and even if I am a little light it mixes up well enough to knock out the 7 pin. I leave a lot less 10 pins now, and have added 30 pins to my avg from last season! Love this ball! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Best ball in my arsenal By msackett04 from Cortland, NY
Reviewed on: 1/2/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great length, Strong Backend Cons:Nothing comes to mind Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This ball is insane, out-hooks my reign supreme by far, just when you think this ball won't be able to make it back, it screams to life straight through the pocket. picked two big splits with it and just finished bowling a 209 on my second night throwing it. I love this ball, nothing hits like a hammer!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
