Hammer Onyx Vibe

Hammer reintroduced the Vibe line of bowling balls with the Blue Vibe and the Cherry Vibe. Now they are reintroducing the Onyx Vibe! The Onyx takes the midlane traction of the Blue Vibe and pairs it with the backend flip of the Cherry Vibe giving this ball length with a strong backend. This is achieved by pairing the Vibe core with the CT Reactive Max coverstock and finishing it with 500 then 2000 grit Abralon pad and polishing it with Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish.This bowling ball is Carbon Fiber Infused! Carbon fiber is one of the toughest materials on earth. Hammer decided to add this material to the inner core of this ball for added strength and durability allowing them to offer an incredible 3 year warranty.

Question:


This would be my first ball, do you think as an entry level bowling this will be ok? Thanks!

12/13/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Yes, this is a great option to start with. This is going to work well in medium to lighter oil conditions and no matter how advanced you get you will always have a need for a ball in medium to lighter oil so it works great starting out and then you can always keep this as a backup option later on if you did need to get anything stronger down the road.

Question:


have not bowled in 30 years how would this compare to a columbia yellow dot

12/22/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


I am not sure exactly how this would compare because we do not have information on the Yellow Dot anymore. However, This ball is designed to go longer on the lanes and have a decent backend hook in medium to light oil conditions. Also, if you were coming from a ball that was 30 years old then this may be a good step up from that because if you go to anything stronger it will be a big difference. The older bowling balls did not hook as much as the newer bowling balls

Question:


How does this ball compare to the Orange Vibe?

1/22/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


They are very close in comparison. The only difference would be the cover and the Onyx has a slightly stronger cover than the Orange Vibe.
