need a new Hammer

[srotn]

I bowled back in the 90's with a black Hammer, when the blue Hammer came out I bought one of those. I carried around a 185 avg. I quit after I blew out my shoulder @ work in 2000. I just started bowling again in the middle of last year. 180 avg not bad after a 6 years. I still bowl with my blue hammer(love that ball) It's time for a new one(ya think)? I throw right, second arrow long sweeping hook,(no big snap at the end). Which Ball would be a good replacement for my blue Hammer? Doom? Vibe? Pain? Toxic? Hawg? Pure Hammer? I need help. any help would be Great..................................

I'm currently bowling with the Pure Hammer-its great for light oil (my hometown alley is a light oil lane and I average about 171-which is down from a 184 earlier this season-(I cleaned it and shot a 194,181,186) with it) but if get in to medium oil or heavy the ball is not as good. I keeping the Pure for spares and light oil and i'm ordering a BW (Black Widow) its a good choice too because its versatle and can work on any lane conditions. If you have further questions do not hesitate to contact me i'm always happy to help!:)

The Pure is good but not too much oil. The Pain will give you pretty close to the same reaction as well but a bit more agressive, but not snappy. The blue Vibe would be between those two.

I think your game is set up perfectly for the PAIN. I bowl the same style and same target as you and it works for me great.
