I like the swirly colors because it’s easier for me to see the rotation on my ball. Yes, I know how weak or strong my rotation is when it comes off my hand but the swirly patterns help you actually see it.

[blakeschneider]

Swirly colors, helps me see where and when the ball is transitioning

[IanNachtigall]

I hit my Black Solid with Storm Reacta-Shine cleaner/polish because I prefer a bit of shine. It went from leaving 10s with the box finish to hitting 5 baggers. For the price point you really can’t beat it and it will contend with its higher line contemporaries.

[KwuNorthstar]

I like the swirly balls, helps me see when the ball transitions on the lane. With solid color balls it's hard for me to tell when the ball starts to transition, my idol pro is the only ball that I can read consistently.

Great review. Really impressive how well you can shape your shots! I use the Hammer Raw pearl for my spare shots because I can flatten it out really well for my 10 pin shots. I use the Hammer Web as my strike ball. Just shot 233 the other day for my 2nd best score lifetime. 👌

[drivillain]

If they bring back something like the Raw Hammer Doom, that'd be an insta-buy for me. Loved that ball back in the day.

[leegreenontheair]

I like dark color bowling balls because they don’t make my ball speed look any slower than what it is

[CWRuizTTV]

Won the solid, pink pearl and the hybrid all in raffles can't wait for them to come in

[Harnessspirit]

I loved the hammer acid ball with good polish had an agressive hook toward the end

[baTonkaTruck]

Raw pearl is perfect for a burnt up house shot, so basically, almost all the time. If the lanes are fresh, or especially if there’s carry down, this ball is about as useful as plastic. I’m rev dominant so this is my go-to when bowling outside of league.

[kylfoster]

Like the swirl color over the solid, it looks better going down the lane when striking.

[robinbargo]

I like to see the swirl so I can judge my ball rotation. I have a hyroad and the Phase 2. The Phase 2 visual rotation speaks volumes.

[nickbroperales]

Definitely the solid Black Hammer RAW is usually made for X and the blue and white RAW for /
I just got myself the Motiv Pride Empire that hooks similar to the RAW while bashing through the bowling pins. Hate to amid it but the empire is the best one that my father got me

[dzavasky]

I just ordered the Raw Solid Black. I’m looking forward to trying it out. I haven’t bowled in leagues in over 20 years and am hoping to get back into practice to do so again.

[MsSnakke]

Please mention your line of attack. The lay down point, the target point and the breakpoint this will allow to have an understanding on the angles being used by you or your friends. Thanks

[Adam-cpdl]

The hybrid raw hammer has been really good for me especially for the price

[porkisthebestmeat]

I thought I made a mistake buying the pearl because everytime I played it would slide off into the right gutter, but I hit it with a 3000 pad and a little hit of 2000 to get it around 2500 and it plays perfectly

[joshgrim]

Just got the black and looking at getting the blue and white pearl. I would love to see a comparison with the hybrid

[shadesXL]

I like a 2 color contrasting swirl. Something where I can really read the ball motion. 3rd or even 4th colors make it hard for me to see what the ball is doing

[Sonnydaz]

I’m a new fingertip bowler and having problems getting my ball to hook. I’m liking the solid Raw Hammer and thinking about purchasing it. I would appreciate your expert opinion.
