I am 9 weeks into my first league and think my average is pretty good for not touching a ball in like 7 years. I was a straight bowler and after a few weeks I wanted to join another league,and improve my game! I bought my first reactive ball last and had to go with a Hammer so after much debate i went with the 14lb TOXIC for the lane conditions where i would be bowling! I bowled with it at the lanes I was gonna join my next league and couldn't get the ball to do nothing, after asking a few questions find out they use heavy oil on the lanes, so one week to the day after getting my first hammer I went and got another this time I went with the 15lb ANGER and this ball for the price I couldn't be happier this thing hits a ton! I would like to thank you on here that have given me opinions on what to get and how to get drilled! Oh by the way I bowled my highest game ever with my new ANGER had a 201 with 5 strikes in a row!:D

Tuff welcome to the Hammer message board. Congrats on the new ball purchase and the high score. The Anger is an under rated ball for the price. In my opinion it out hooks anything in the Hammer line right now. Kepp up the good work and don't hesitiate to ask a question if you have one.

Is it really?
I thought the bwp hooks more than other hammer ball right now :confused:

THe following was taken for buddies pro shop, its their opinion on the Raw Anger ....FYI

Staff Review
After throwing this ball for the first time we questioned how Hammer could sell this ball at a mid level price when it out hooks any ball they have in their current arsenal. Of all the balls they just released this was the most pleasant surprise. All the others did what we expected. We thought the Anger would just be another Pain. Compared to its predecessor, the Anger is smoother thru the heads but has much more mid lane and recovery then the Pain. Testing was done on the fresh house pattern. For our tester this ball was great fun to throw. It allowed him to move farther left into the swamp of oil in the middle and throw it right and know with confidence that it would recover. And then for kicks our tester threw it on the PBA Experience Viper Pattern. This pattern is very tight when trying to cross boards but this was the only ball our tester could throw and get recovery. Now he has the right ball now he just needs to execute. Not sure how the Viper plays in other centers but in our center the lanes play very tight outside. In league we found two options. Play up the 3-4 board or play 15 to 10. We found that no ball on Viper would allow us to belly the ball from 10 to 3-4. The Anger changed that. And just like on the house pattern this ball helped to “blow a hole” in the pattern to allow our tester to move 5 boards left and play 15 to 5. We do not want anyone to assume that this ball or any other ball will be magic, but it can help give you a little more area then your current equipment. Remember nothing beats

If I am not mistaken, doesn't buddies usually test new products on 40ft fress oil patterns?

Yea Bubba. And then they throw them on a PBA pattern or a sport pattern.
Also the Anger outhooks the BWP by a lot and it reads the lane a lot earlier than the widow.
