Hammer Cherry Video Review
The Bowling Lane Surface
The lane surface was an older synthetic.
The Bowling Lane Conditions
The bowling lane conditions were a medium length drier house pattern.
Bowlers Style
Bowler’s style was: 16.5 mph, medium rev rate tweener.
Test Results
We had a good response and the ball recovered well. The ball motion we got was long skid, medium transition and a more angular motion on the backend with continuation. The ball did not have a lot of right to left motion and did not have a whole lot of over reaction on the dry area of the lane; this could be from the surface adjustments or the type of drilling we used. It seemed to work well on Read More @ Bowling Ball Reviews - Hammer Cherry Vibe

Roto Grip Mutant Cell
This is a review of the Roto Grip bowling ball Mutant Cell. This is the newest bowling ball from Roto Grip to date. In addition, it has been added to the popular cell series, there have been some modifications to the core and cover stock in the Mutant Cell. It is suppose to rev up sooner and have more surface traction in oil. Our testing; we drilled this one pin under ring finger and the mass at 1 ½ inches to the right of our thumb hole, we did not need a balance hole. This layout is like stacking it under your fingers and gives the bowling ball a sooner response than pin above. We did this because we got a pin in and I like my pins under on pin in type bowling balls. The lane condition was 39 foot house pattern on and AMF HPL synthetic bowling lane. My

Raw Hammer Burn
Raw Hammer Burn Review: The bowling ball drilling layout we used was pin above the bridge and the cg angled to 1 ½ inches to the right of our thumb hole. This is a late response type drilling. The lane surface was an AMF HPL synthetic. The lane conditions were 39 ft house pattern. We used the out of box finish on this ball. The bowler style was in the tweener category. The test results were a long skid with a medium transition, but we did not get a hole lot of right to left motion. We played the burn more down and in and were able to get it to set up to the pocket. The ball seemed to carry well at the pins. It was just more down and in then we expected. I think this was because we were on fresh oil and a late response drilling. I think it would have had more recovery

Lane #1 Massacre Red Death
The layout we used on the massacre red death was a stacked layout 4.5 inches from our pap with the pin below the fingers this was to get the ball to roll up sooner than a pin above plus we had a short pin so this worked out well on this ball. The lane conditions were a typical house 39 ft house pattern on AMF HPL lane surface. The bowler style was 300 rpm and 16.5 mph there comfort zone is in track area or between the second and third arrow with swing area. We used the out of box finish on the ball. The reaction we got was very smooth and a controlled hook. The ball did not over skid and recovered well. We had a good reaction at the pins. The ball reaction was long skid short transition with a smooth hook and did not over react. The red death from lane #1

Lane #1 Dynamo X2
This is a review of the new lane #1 dynamo x2; the lane condition we bowled on was a typical 39ft house pattern. The bowling lane surface was AMF HPL synthetic. The bowling ball drilling layout we used was a medium response type drilling which was pin above the ring fingers at 5 inches from our bowler’s axis point and the cg drilling angle at 50 degrees. Vertical axis angle was 45 degrees. We used first used the ball on the fresh pattern with the out of box finish. Our test was able to play straight up the boards at about the 14th board at the arrows and the ball did seem to hold a line at the break point we did not see much over reaction and the pin carry was pretty good. We did try adjusting the surface to 2000 abralon which gave us more swing area and about
