Hey from the UK

[Paul1979]

Hey

I am Paul, from Suffolk in the UK.

I am currently a huge fan of all Hammer balls and so far own two no mercies, a toxic (totally underated ball!) and a new Anger.

I am considering a Black Widow Pearl, a Doom or a Cherry Vibe as my next ball.

I bowl fairly quick, anywere from 16.5mph to 18mph and have a avg rev rate of 450-500rpm.

I am always looking to improve and would LOVE to play on a PBA experience lane but so far never had the opportunity.

Anyway, hi!

What hammer balls are everyones favs at the mo then? :)

Hey Paul,


Welcome aboard . It's a great place with alot of neverending advice for us bowlers. Hope you enjoy your stay and remember, no question is a dumb question.

Hey welcome!

I also want to join a PBA experiance league as well. I'm gonna check to see if they have any at my local bowling allwy for the fall/winter leagues. I would get a Doom, Black Widow, or a Black Widow Pearl if I were you.

[Paul1979]

Thanks for the welcome.

I would think that a black widow solid would be too similar to my no mercy's.

I am leaning towards a skip flip ball at present, so prob the Doom.

Its shame they cost on avg $340 over here.

Take a look at my style here

This was with a tropical storm ball so no real bite in that ball.

$340 is a lot. My best fortune has been with the Black Widow, Hawg and Toxic. Favorite Hammers of the moment are: Black Widow and Black Widow Pearl.

Robert Smith can go all the way up to 650. In the video though, he went up to 650, in front of the ball return and it still went brooklyn.

Lay Off Rowdy.NO ONE can dis him but me.:mad:

[Tinkerbell]

Hi Paul,

Hope you enjoy all most every one here.How do you like your new Anger.I am relearning to bowl again and also getting good at my hook but My next ball is gonna be an Anger and everything I have heard is good.Haveing watched Rowdy throw both the BW and The BWP it seems to me that the BW is easiest to learn to adjust too. anyway welcome to Hammer.:) :D

Maximum Bob is trying VERY hard right now to shed some of those revs and play straighter.

Yeah i know. He is quite versatile for how many revs he has.
