This Ball Has Excellent Pin Carry! By Bev the Bowler from Huber Heights, OH
Reviewed on: 9/30/2010 Verified Buyer Pros:Pin Carry, Easy to read, Reliable Cons:none Best Uses:On Dryer Lanes Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I had this ball drilled straight up so I could control it on dryer lanes. My average has gone up 30 pins in the last month since I bought this ball! The pin carry on this ball is so good, I even carry strikes that are not perfect in the pocket. I absolutely love this ball.

Reviewed on: 1/7/2011 Unverified Pros:Flexability and room, Great backend move, Appearence Cons:Too high of an average Best Uses:ANY AND ALL, When you wanna show off Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend this ball is the one of the most powerful balls and possibly the best ball i have ever had. i start out with a storm reign of fire, and when the lanes get too dry, i wip out the vibe and just attack the pocket. i highly reccomend this ball to anyone who is serious about bowling Was this review helpful to you?

Nothing hits like a hammer By leftone from scottsdale,AZ
Reviewed on: 9/29/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line: I feel this ball is great for new bowlers looking for something over a plastic ball. I got my son this ball 9yr and he went from a 80-90 avg to 125-135. last week we plugged it and tipped it for him and he bowled 147-138-169 so not to bad. I also got this ball for my-self just to have the same as him and was i happy. Brand new out of the box this thing is perfect. After about 7 months now not so much now ball has to much in the back end even with being in the polisher for 30min. i would say that the cover breaks down way to fast Was this review helpful to you?

It's Hammer time By Ronnie A. from San Diego California
Reviewed on: 5/12/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Hits very hard this ball Cons:Not for heavy oil Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Best on dry to mid oil, Upgrade, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Had this Midnight vibe drilled to go long and snap at the end it just hits the pocket so hard and I can't believe how consistent the ball is on dry to mid oil. My last Hammer ball was about 16 years ago it also was a hard hitting ball for the time but times change and I upgraded to this midnight vibe and I also went out and purchased a Hammer Taboo! I like the hard hitting of this product even on light pocket hits Wow! I have not bowled for several years but, Hammer still hit's hard and I have started bowling my games in the 200's pretty good for a 155 average bowler! I am going to stay with hammer and hope they never quit making great products like The Midnight vibe and the Taboo! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Hammer or Bust By Z. Camps, High Tec Welding bowling team from Canton, Michigan
Reviewed on: 12/12/2011 Unverified Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, League bowling Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend One a week league bowler 191 avg. I was three balls removed from my last Hammer purchase and after throwing the Midnight I will never stray again. On league night with only 4 practice balls to its credit shot 249 first game. My Storm Virtual Gravity was just too much power and the urathane ball I carry just wouldint finish consistently, the Vibe was a perfect midway point. Great for anyone looking for good length with a powerful late move into the pocket. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
