Hammer Axe
I gave this ball 5 stars because it does exactly what it's supposed to do, it goes pretty darn straight for picking up spares. In the past year I have gone through about 4 plastic spare balls. The problem is plastic has a very hard & brittle surface. I throw the ball fairly hard, and I throw it pretty end over end at my corner pins and sometimes it will roll over fingers or my thumb and plastic cracks and breaks. The idea behind the Axe is to use a harder, more durable low friction reactive resin and polish to come up with a more durable spare ball. So far so good and on those rare conditions where everything is hooking off the lane, I can see putting this into play as a strike ball. I like it.

Question:

Have an answer to this question?
Question:
Would this be a good ball for a rev dominant bowler looking for a late smooth motion on house shot?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This bowling ball will have a low hook rating and is mostly sold as a spare ball because it has a lower hook potential and goes straighter than most performance balls. However, if you are rev dominant you could find this ball give you just the right amount of hook in some lighter oil conditions. If you were to change the out-of-box polished finish to a 2000 grit you could smooth out some of the reaction and may even find this works into some medium oil conditions for you.
