We had a demo days here today, Peru,Il. They had Acid,Psycho,Sauce and Venom.

I have the Psycho so no need to throw that one. I threw the Acid first it was a real nice ball had a good feel and reaction I hit a 201 with it. Next up was the Sauce again a nice ball hit 196, then the Venom.... WOW.... it was strong definately alot of mass and a soild hitter 225...Then one of the proshop guys had me try his Bite... :eek: HOLY S**T.... This ball was wasn't suppose to be there but the guy seen I throw hard and thought it would be worth my trying it. He was right this ball was Amazing for me hit solid everytime got alot of pin action on the deck it was definetly the ball I should be looking at from Hammer..shot 249 and 245 with it then went back to the Venom for another 234... my average is 165... It was a really hard to decide what to doBite or Venom, but I went with the Bite. After talking with the house guys there and a couple of the other senior house Aces we decided that was the way to go..probably buy the Venom at a later time. I just bought a Track Rising SE 3 weeks ago,yeah a Trackhead.
All in all it was a great experience and I'd reccomend if you get the chance to do it, go for it even if your not in the market for new gear just to throw some of the latest gear out. I wasn't really going to buy anything but I couldn't not get one after the way I rolled out today. Now to make room for yet another ball...:D

I just threw my venom for the first time...last week (Tuesday).
It is SERIOUS, make no mistake! I have mine at 4000 abralon-no polish...it's an animal.
It certainly has the potential to hook, but really seems to store energy for me...I have no problems getting it down the lane.

Now I just need to get away from the 9 pin!

Try putting just a little polish on it and give it another go. Seems like the entry angle is a little too steep and its so strong its driving through the 5 and past the 9.

Congrats on finding a ball that matches up so well with your game!

If this is a THS, then like VMS said either polish it, or try moving 2 boards left with your feet, the light hit will carry better, your too high.
