@hiflipper84 the Onyx Vibe is the most aggressive of the Vibes. That ball is the best that money could buy. It outhook my Virtual Energy, for real. It reads the lane earlier and has more overall backend than either the Midnight or Grape.
is the midnight vibe stronger than the onyx vibe? the hook rating is one higher but i've also heard that the onyx vibe is the strongest ball in the vibe series. i'm also looking at the grape vibe so if you could tell me how it compares to both of those that would be good too.
I bought the Onyx Vibe. Still have to test out it's performance. But on the video it seems to have a smooth hook so i have a good feeling that this ball isn't as bad as some describe in the comments.
I love this ball, I've had it since Halloween and have since then gotten a lot of new personal best including two 299-games and I am really happy with this ball. I love it.
AMAZING BALL! i met up with the hammer guys in cerritos, ca... and they hooked me up with this awesome ball! as soon as i started throwing it i was striking... i missed left a few times... and brooklyn strikes every time... i didnt miss right.. and i left no splits throwing it... the first time throwing the ball and i threw 7 in a row.... and i am not really a great bowler in any sense... this ball is really good!
@scionmag I'm a huge Hammer bowling fan, and I honestly think that's the only thing keeping these videos from being 100% perfect. Being able to see the layouts (at least pin and cg locations, angles would be too good and I may implode) makes a huge difference to me and I imagine many others so we have a better idea of how the ball will react with certain layouts, and can then customize our own from there. Great job as usual Hammer.
@Kamukix Hi there Kamukix, I've noticed this video and the backlash vids...I'm a stroker from right side outside ish like the blond girl in these vids, not sure which ball to consider the blue/silver or red backlash or this ball midnight vibe. Also, do you think it's cheaper to order balls from online or in shops? thanks
@MKF30 Hey, I think the blue/silver backlash is the safest option as it's the middle ball so you can go either way (polish or dull it more). As for ordering balls, online is usually cheaper but...if a shop in the area has the ball for a reasonable price I order from them to keep the local shops in business. :)
@Kamukix Oh ok thanks, yeah it's also not that strong I've noticed with ridiculous hook. I also saw vids for the Hammer Grind(green ball) looks good too, but I think that ball is very strong with hook if I remember correctly. Oh thanks for the advice, I've bowled before in leagues back when I was a teen(I'm in my mid 20's now) so it's been a while lol and I can't get the small hook with a plastic ball so that's why I asked :) Thanks ;)

i must say either these bowlers' tilts are really high, they have almost no rotation, or their rev rates are way over inflated.

I love this ball. It hooks great at all house patterns I've played on, but I doubt it's aggressive enough for sport patterns
