Hey all
well what the topic says, can you's compare it to the black widow? i have been thinking about getting 1 for heavy oil, but seems it goes long and so it well basicly skid, am i correct? so if i get the hawg zilla, will it be too strong for me?, i am a cranker at around 350-400 rpm and bowling on australia conoditions, they r very different to the usa, but i am doing some sports pattern soon, so yeh

Thanks in advanced brett

Hey Brett,

I recently got the hawgzilla and it is strong. I can't compare it to the BW because I haven't thrown it but the dude from Budies includes a comparison in his review here:
buddiesproshop/Hammer/HawgZilla (http://www.buddiesproshop.com/product/3211/Hammer_Hawg_Zilla_Bowling_Ball_-_FREE_SHIPPING.htm)

I have drilled mine with a stacked leverage pattern, and use it with the factory finish. My speed is around 16-17mph and have medium to higher revs. Your length will depend on the conditions. I'm throwing this on a sport shot that has medium to heavy-ish oil on a shorter pattern. I can't use it until the third and fourth game when there is carry. And even with that I'm standing on 45(righty) aiming at the center arrow and trowing it out to 8, and this ball whips back to the pocket.

I probably shouldn't use this ball at all on this pattern because it's too strong, but it's fun to cross the whole lane.

If your pattern is medium I would recommend polishing this ball. And if it's dry you should probably skip it unless you have high ball speed. That being said I'm glad I bought this ball, it picks up the heavy side of my arsenal.
