Just wondering what everyone's ball arsenal is right now. Here's mine:
Heavy Oil
Hammer Anger~ pin right of ring, down slightly, cg stacked, weight hole, OOB surface.
Heavy/Medium
Hammer Black Widow Bite~ pin right of ring and up slightly, cg kicked right, MB right of thumb about 2", OOB surface.
Medium
Hammer Black Widow Solid~ same layout as the Bite^, OOB surface.
Hammer Black Widow Pearl~ pin right of ring, cg stacked, weight hole, OOB surface.
Medium/Light
Hammer Cherry Vibe~ pin over ring, cg kicked right, no weight hole, OOB surface.
Spare
Hammer Clear Widow
So far I get a great look, and can play similar lines as the lanes break down with this line up. Hammer really has it going on right now with their equipment.

From heavy to lite:
No Mercy Beat'n (4000 oob)
Hawgzilla (2000 polished too slick going to put it at 2000 sanded)
Big Block Diesel (1000 polished)
Blade Reactive Pearl (2000 polished)
MaximWith the right amount of care these ball can last quite a while the diesel and Blade are hitting as hard as ever. You don't always need a heavy oil ball when there isn't always heavy oil...

I generally don’t put my stuff in an oil category. Instead I class them based on type of roll or shot shape. But there are different strengths as well.
Standard Tourny bag:
No Mercy = early roll, strong arc
Anger = early roll, medium arc
BWsolid = medium skid/flip
Gamebreaker = medium, medium arc
Cherry Vibe = late Skid/flip
Blue Vibe = early light arc
Others:
BWP = S/F
Toxic = Rico
Doom= S/F
Pain= Early roll
Wrath= S/F(1000polished)
Wrath2 =S/F(4000)
Pure= early light roll
Amber Zone= S/F
Burgundy urethane = All roll
Blue urethane = all roll
Big blue spare
Tuff
On the UPS Truck:
BW Bite=S/F
Bash = Rico

Cool, what is it and how does it compare to... Energizer, Power Wash and Clean & Dull? (If you have used all these products.) Does it have a bad smell?
Thinking something like Simple Green.
Rowdy
01-15-2008, 06:37 PM
No,not Simple Green. Gets the oil out of the ball and leaves it clean. Not really any smell to it. Faint smell undiluted,no smell diluted.(Had to go check) I'm using it on all my gear,polished and unpolished balls. Stuff works great.
