Hammer

I got a new Blue Hammer ball and have practiced with it for 12 games so far to see what it will do hook wise and shooting spares with it. It is a little soft on the hook but not bad. I bowl straight up the boards with it between the first and second arrow. When I get the revs just right it has a nice controlled hook to the pocket. I thought that changing the surface from 4000 abralon to 2000 would give it a little more bite and a heavier roll into the pocket. When I asked the pro shop I bought the ball from about doing this the pro shop employee said to not mess with a surface change just yet. He said to let
the ball get more usage to see if it really needs a change. He said that when I get use to the ball and get things figured out with it that I might find it doesn't need a change. After a while it will be up to me if I really have to do a surface change on it. So I will see how the ball works on league night this Saturday. I kind of have the feel for the ball after twelve practice games and know where I should stand on the approach to make the ball work good on the first shot. Still have to get use to spare shooting with it because of the milder hook then my Raw Hammer Anger.
