Today was my 1st time throwing the BWB. All I can say is WOW! Spent the 1st game getting used to it and then went 279 and 277. The BWB hit hard. I will post pictures on the drilling once I have the chance.:D :D :D

My lanes are synthetic and plenty of oil. I was playing about 22 to 12 at 40 feet. I had to watch my speed to keep it off the nose

THS to 40'. It was a synthetic AMF house. I was going 15 to 5. Ball speed was ~17mph according to the automatic detector. Have been told by my pro shop that there is another house that has the heaviest oil in the area. Plan to take it there next week to see what happens.

Will do. My BWB was drilled using the Label Layout. Depending how it reacts in heavy oil, I may drill an Anger or NMB with a strong layout. Leaning towards the Anger because the reviews on it for heavy oil have been positive.

just getting into this technical stuff, so i dont have the boards counted in my head.

i play on wood floors just drenched in oil.

was playing from middle dot to 2-3 boards past the light board. ( dont laugh, will count them out next time there)

like i said, once i had the weight hole drilled, i was getting a nice reaction and switching to a 16 lbs ball, my second game seemed very effortless.

Just remember, every arrow is 5 boards. So remeber this also, if the middle board is 20, then there are only 39 boards ! Its a good way to get a free drink too ! Most people say 40 !

I got my BWB the day it came out from Ebonite. I drilled it up and was amazed at the move it made but I had a problem getting the ball to cross other peoples track lines so I polished mine after that night and the 2nd day I had it first game I had to get used to the new reaction and shot 189 2nd game found the right line and go 279 missed 10 pin in first then sheet next game go 299 with a solid 9 pin its the second hammer ball I have drilled up. BWP out of the box shot 789 with 289 last game. Hammer by far is leading the way with equipment.
