Ebonite Striking Motion

I am very impressed with the Ebonite Striking Motion I have mine drilled with the pin 3 1/2 inches from my axis above my ringer finger, the CG kicked out with a hole, and the mass bias 1 inch away from my thumb. My very first game with it, which was also my first game in league, was a 300. I ended the series with an 835 (300,256,279). It is a four game league and the fourth game was a 233. What impressed me most was that I was able to stay with it the entire 4 games, only running into trouble the end of the fourth game. I usually have a little bit of trouble at this center because there tends to be a lot of friction there and the higher end equipment tends to burn up, but the Ebonite Striking Motion allowed me to stay with the same ball and just continue to move, while not losing any hitting power. Anyone who is looking for a ball with great hitting power that continues as the lanes break down should seriously consider this ball.

Hammer Raw Hammer Acid

The Hammer Raw Hammer Acid is the newest ball to be released from Hammer. From the write up and looks of it, The Hammer Raw Hammer Acid should be just a little bit cleaner in the fronts than the Hammer Raw Hammer Anger was and provide a heavier roll in the back. The color of this ball is burnt red and silver and comes with a matte finish on it. Look for this ball in your local pro shops after December 2nd.
