    I Shot 647 in my Bowling League Last Night 

    While this isn’t my high series, it is for AMF Deltona Lanes.

    I started the night with my [bowlingball value="4444"/]. I love the way this ball rolls when 1) I roll it well, and 2) the lanes accept it. It goes so long and because of the solid black, you can see the transition so well. So I shot a 201 first game.

    Second game I changed to the [bowlingball value="6811"/]. With a couple of really bad shots I squeeked out a 195. So going into the third game I was -4.

    Note: What do I mean by -4? Most bowlers base scores on a 200 average. So after game one, I was +1. Game two I was -5, so I was averaging -4. So I needed to shoot 204 in the third game to shoot 600. Back to my bowling now…

    In the third game a continued to use the [bowlingball value="6811"/]. I started spare in the first frame, and strike in the second. In the third frame I decided to just throw the bowling ball into the gutter on the first ball. Somehow I rebounded a almost ran the sheet. I struck through the second ball in the tenth. My final score for the third game was 252, giving me a 647 series.

      But the gray boards are so much bigger and easier to hit.

      But thank you on the congrats. I am really working hard on my game. I spent this past weekend working on the approach. Went from an S6 sole to an S2 sole.

    Hammer’s Raw Hammer Acid – Coming Soon 

    [bowlingball value="6846,i150r"/]
    Hammer’s newest mid performance bowling ball, the [bowlingball value="6846"/] is going to be released on December 2nd. I can’t wait to receive our seed balls in so that we can test them and give you our feed back on this bowling ball. I have a very good feeling about it from everything I have heard from Hammer Bowling.

    There’s nothing safe about the [bowlingball value="6846"/]. Made with our Max-Hook Reactive coverstock and Raw Hammer Assault core, we’ve designed it to be dangerous from the outside in; a scary combination of power and control you won’t find in any other mid-level ball. The Hammer Raw Hammer Acid. Let the pins burn.

    We are looking forward to possibly getting our hands on this ball early to do a little testing. If we do get these in early, we’ll make sure to shoot a video!

    Ball Features:

    • Core: Raw Hammer Assault Core
    • Coverstock: Max-Hook Reactive
    • Factory Finish: 4000 Grit Abralon
    • Flare Potential: Medium-High

    Hammer’s The Sauce Review 


    Hammer’s The Sauce is their first high performance bowling ball release in a long time. Hammer has had so much success with their Black Widow series of bowling balls, that it was time to introduce a high performance ball again.

    Pin to PAP(4 1/4″ over 0″ up/down) – 5″
    CG to PAP – 4 1/2″
    Balance Hole – none
    Surface Preparation – Box Finish

    My Personal Review: The expectations that people have of this ball are correct. I have heard from some Hammer staff players that this was going to be an amazing bowling ball, and they were right. I only average in the 180′s currently, but absolutely love this ball. You will notice in our videos that I often get very little attention. That changed in the last video, this ball rolled so well for me that I had a bigger part than usual.

    The ball cleared the heads easily, and had a strong continuation on the backends that sent pins flying.

    I highly recommend this ball for bowlers of all skill levels.

      I LOVE THE SAUCE!!! This is the best ball that I've ever used. The smooth reaction arc down the lane is perfect for a cranker like me. And the back-end is massive!!! It's Hammer's best ball, and it's by far my favorite. Nothing can replace this ball in my bag!!
