Wanting a new arsenal

[Ray75]

I've been bowling for about 17yrs now. I haven't considered having an arsenal because I normally stay in one house. I am wanting to start bowling in some sport and regional tournaments. I have mainly used storm equipment in the past, but I have decided to switch to Hammer products after a little research. I have med to high revs, med speed, and love to throw a big belly hook. Here is the arsenal I'm thinking of setting up and would like any opinions anyone would have to offer.
Heay oil: Hawgzilla
Med to Heavy: Black Widow
Med oil: Doom
Med to light: Pure
I am also going to drop down to 15lb equipment. Any advice on this set up would be most helpful. Thanks...

referencing BTM's spreadsheet as I do when buying balls for myself....
I agree with the HawgZilla for heavy oil
I would chose the HawgWild for medium to heavy
black widow on medium
doom would be best for medium to light

oh and without question, I would use the Black Widow for any sport shot....

so personally if it were me (we bowl similarly) and I had 4 CURRENT balls to chose from, that is what I would do, drop the Pure Hammer and move the BW and Doom down and add the HawgWild......

just my opinion...

What about the new Toxic? Might be good to have a particle ball.

Just like to know how the Toxic and No Mercy would fall in between those balls. I love my Pain, if you wanted to have save a couple bucks, has the same coverstock of the Hawg Wild.

Here is mine:
Big Deal-Heavy
Pain-Med to Hev
HighRev-Medium
Switch Blade-Med to Dry
White Dot for anything else....

If money where no object I'd own a Black Widow, No Mercy and Toxic, to go with my Pain and White Dot.

Actually, the Pain has the same cover as the Road Hawg.

You could also substitute Hawgzilla w/ No Mercy(if ya were lookin' newer).. And with heavy I use the Widow.. All I need is:

Med&Heavy: Black Widow(have a hawgzilla, don't use it)
Light: Blue Vibe
Spares: Tuff

You see, I don't need a bunch of different balls, I throw a straight and in approach, but if I have to go out and in I can do that pretty well too.. But, keep in mind I have a Hawgzilla..

And I am glad you asked for advice, because there are many great people in here to help ya out.. ;)

Good luck, man..

i'd go with this if i had the money

Heay oil: No Mercy
Med to Heavy: Black Widow
Med oil: Toxic
Med to light: Vibe
Spares: Big Blue Spare or Tuff

[Sadistic]

Here's mine:
Heavy- Hawg
Med/Heavy-Widow or Pain
Med-Toxic
Med/Light-Doom
Light-Purple Vibe
Big Blue Spare

This is what I will have once I get done. You can't choose wrong unless you don't choose HAMMER!!!

Actually, the Pain has the same cover as the Road Hawg.

Right, I always screw that up.

If money where no object I'd own a Black Widow, No Mercy and Toxic, to go with my Pain and White Dot.

Let me restate this....
No Mercy
Black Widow
Raw Hammer Doom, Pain, Toxic
Purple Vibe, maybe a Blue Vibe too
Big Blue Spare, if I couldn't find that one a Tuff would do.

Three Ball: No Mercy, Black Widow and Toxic
Four Ball: No Mercy, Black Widow, Toxic and Spare

Not a big fan of Particle balls, but they are needed in a arsenal.

The Toxic is not Particle pearl it is just pearl!!

Thanks so much for all the help. You all have given me a lot of great advice and some much need direction. I knew hammer was a great choice!!!!!

I have the HawgZilla and SawBlade, I used the HawgZilla, but if its not breaking like I want it too, I throw the Saw, but I only throw in 1 alley, so I couldnt tell you how my balls react at any other alley.
