im already good with my heavy oil and medium balls but i need something for lane condidtion that are low to medium oil...... i tried my friends 15 pound claw and it worked great.....i threw a 234 with it....
im having trouble finding a place in michigan that has it......most likely because it is such an old hammer model.....
if anyone has an idea where i could get on.....i'd really appreciate it


and i would like to know if the ball is worth it

be weary of old balls.

old balls that still preform great are rare. the same way a ball on todays market will die, and old ball will die.

but sadly, older balls may already be dead, or on there way out.

neglect and maltreatment of the ball can decrease the life

a layer of oil might have set on the balls coverstock for however many years, forever damaging the balls proformance.

alot of time, all i can seem to use an old black hammer, or any other old ball, is just glossing in over, and making a new spare ball.

alot can go wrong, but if all else fails

try ebay
