Raw Anger or No mercy Beat'n. Like coaster said I the anger hooks on just about anything,and I have seen a few people throw the Beat'n and it is also a great heavy oil ball and very smooth reaction.

I'll be honest I threw a Fury before I Came to Hammer and in my opinion the ball was very very unpredictable.I just couldn't get it to react the same way twice.

Now since Comming to strictly Hammer I can go into any league night or tournament I bowl in and know how each ball will react. I recommend Hammer Brand products. But everyone has their preferences.

the shot in our modified ths league is long and heavy. I see a lot of the levRG, awesome hook, gamebreaker, nvs, no mercy, fury, and last week I actually saw a Global 900 break. I don't see to much from Track, Columbia or Storm. This area is all about Brunswick, Hammer, Ebonite.

Personally I've used my NM @ 2000, WMB @ 320 , LevRG @ 1000, and an Awesome Revs @ 500 abralon.

Visionary is the same as owning a Faball really. The AMB particle is the best heavy oil ball out there in terms of having no hand. The ball is so aggressive you can throw 15-5 easy on heavy oil with it with little hand.

My BW is drilled exactly like the first drill was on that one.

BW at 1000 should be great for heavy, I can use it at 2000

Yes, it can be used on heavy conditions. Personally, if Im looking for something for heavy oil I go with Low RG stuff. On Heavy oil, I want the ball rolling clean and smooth. High RG, high MB rated balls give too much squirt and can be unpredictable

Blue you might want to look at a Gamebreaker. Ebonite makes it. I threw mine on the Viper and it didn't even know there was any oil on the lane. I am sure this is what you are looking for.

Got one....Being plugged up right now. Actually my Anger and NM do pretty good. I have the NM to roll very early, and we all know about the Anger

why you would pick Low RG stuff for heavy oil lanes?

i'm not scared of asking questions i dont know..

Generally, lower RG equipment picks its roll up quicker. That's why when you look for a lighter oil ball to complement a BW, you would look at RG for a similar breakpoint. BW and CV in #15 are almost exactly the same, if the drill is similar (still going to look slightly different BW is HMB, CV is LMB) they will have a similar breakpoint.

Correct on the RG. On the heavy side I usally want early roll and good predictable midlane.

Although they are a bit different in layout, my CV and BW are almost identical in reaction and shape. The CV is about 3-4 feet longer.

Keep careful track of the games on that Gamebreaker. We have found it to be one of the most high maintenance balls on the market

Doesn't matter. I put Tink's Gamebreaker in a bucket of hot water yesterday and two minutes later a driller for Exxon ran into the bathroom and shouthed,"It's a gusher!". She cleans that ball after every nights bowling.

Actually I'm really impressed with the Gamebreaker. It's a pretty good ball for the money. Soaks up some oil,but hey,I own BW's so I know all about that!:p When it's heavy or fresh oil,Tink pulls that Gamebreaker out and starts pounding the rack. Only beef I have is that she uses my line when she does it.:eek: Makes me have to move sooner.:(

LOL....I think the same Exxon worker actually drilled the weight hole into the ball I got from Stampy. He said if I get a flashlight and some binoculars I might be able to see China. :D
