At practice I wanted to see how much action my new Raw Hammer Orange /Black has. I stood with the arch of my slide foot on board 34 and threw my ball out to the 8 board and it came back from there to the pocket for a strike. I stayed there for the better part of that practice game. Now I don't have blazing speed when I am doing this. My speed when I do this is like 12mph. So for my speed and my revs that I have this ball works great for me. It hits the pocket hard. I usually stand on board 35 and throw over the second arrow. But the lanes today didn't like that and my ball was hitting too high. I figured it was practice so what the heck. So I was surprised at what this ball can do for me. It ends up that this was the right choice for a new ball for me.
