Do you guys consider it as one of your favorite balls? I've used my buddy's on and off and i love using it, almost as much as my bwp. Now Im going to be getting one.

I have the old Black Hammer. I love it. I haven't thrown it in awhile though. Need to put a slug in it.

I have the Blue Faball. I like the fact that it is consistent as all hell. If I hit my mark the way I want to, I don't even need to watch it roll down the rest of the lane. I know it's going to strike. However, if I miss my mark with it more than an inch or two the spare leaves are high. Flush pocket shots and it's money...barely off and you could be looking at bad splits. Hope this helps.

I still break out my burgundy when I get bored.

Funtime.

I have the black, 2 blue, burgundy and purple hammers and I loved them... I used the burgundy and purple in league play and never been more please with them... They give good length through the heads and solid backend reaction... I also have a toxic hammer that I almost never use anymore because the ball is so inconsistent... I also use a ebonite tornado that's a good ball except it leaves far to many 10 pins...
Maybe it's the house that I bowl, the lanes are wood and usually lite to medium oil... The burgundy works the best in the medium oil while the purple seems to shine on the lite oil condtions... The best part is that these old faballs don't need to be pamper like the reactive balls... The old faballs are very forgiving, you can miss your mark a little and the ball will still find the pocket and strike...

I have the Blue and the Pink. To be honest I love them more than I do my BWP.

I have a red Faball Hammer. The ball works well when its dry for me. My friend gave it to me after he shot a perfect game with it. I shot 279 with it so I still carry it with me every week.

thats a weird image. Rolling out of bed to turn on your ........ball.:D Neat idea though. My grandpa used to make lights out of pins.
Are you going to have the light come out of the holes? That would be really cool.

Nope. There's a picture on another thread of a lamp made out of an old Black Faball. The ball sits on a base and the lamp stuff is drilled through the ball and sits above it. Looked cool to me. I've never had a 16 pound lamp before.

Have one from the last year made.
First time out of the box in 2001 with it, I shot 855 for last three games of a four game set.
Maybe 10 games total on it...
