Hammer Jigsaw Corner

Hammer Jigsaw Corner Video Review

This is a video of the hammer bowling ball jigsaw corner. The video contains 5 shots at 3 angles the last two being in slow motion. I will note; I am aware of the camera problem and have ordered a new HD camera and I will redo a lot of my videos in video responds. This video on the jigsaw corner and was bowled on a 40 foot house pattern and a wood bowling lane surface with 22 foot of guardian. The jigsaw corner has a very nice arcing and angular motion and seemed to play best as a swing type ball, it does seem to require some friction on the lane somewhere for it to react. In addition, it has that look of being bigger that it is on solid strike shots. There are links below to get more information about the ball with the video. Look for a video response soon and subscribe to our Youtube channel.

Storm Reign

Storm Reign Video Review

This was the first video I did of the Storm Bowling Ball Reign. This was bowled on a 40 foot house pattern and a wood lane surface with guardian coating on the first 22 foot. The bowling ball layout I used was a dual angle drilling for later and fast response to friction. It was the 50x4x50 layout. I will note I am a little new at the dual angle drilling's, but it is said that it is suppose to be the most accurate method of laying out a bowling ball. I have a high track my specs are 5 ½ over and 3/4 inch up the last time I checked. The reign seems to work better on a drier back end or a little shorter pattern than what I was bowling on. I would say a 38 foot pattern would have been better for this bowling ball. I wanted out of this ball was a go to ball after the shot broke down to much for my earlier rolling ball or the 3rd game when I started to leave the flat 10 or flat 7, I was hoping that I could just change balls and the higher RG and Medium differential would get down the lane enough so I could still play the same line and retain energy to kick out the flat hits, or use on a shorter pattern. Well again I think this balls sweet spot is about 38 foot with a drier backend. In the video there are 5 shots with only 2 angles, I am still working of the quality of them. I have a few Ideas and I will probably get a better camera soon. Please subscribe to the Bowling Ball Reviews YouTube channel, Thank You. Below is the video and links so you can get more information about the Storm Reign.

Ebonite Magic Touch

Ebonite Magic Touch
Bowling Ball Video Review

Here is a video I did on the ebonite bowling ball magic touch. It was bowled on wood lanes and a 40 foot house lane condition. The bowling ball drilling was a pin under the ring finger and the mass bias a 2 inches to the right of my thumb hole. This is for a slow and smooth response reaction. I did not like how this video turned out, I may have to do it again. Well anyway there are 4 shots at 2 different views, 2 of the shots are in slow motion. I missed my target in both views one inside and one outside my target. The one thing I noticed with this video, is in the slow motion views you can really tell where the ball starts in the oil at the arrows and then how far out and down the lane it goes to the break point at 40 foot. I mean the ball the angle will be about 13 at the arrows and then skid and transition to hook at about 8 or 9 at the break point. There is a product description and the video and links for more information about the magic touch from ebonite below.

Ebonite Playmaker Response Video's

Ebonite Playmaker Video Reviews

Here is a couple video’s I did on the ebonite bowling ball playmaker. These video’s were in response to the bad quality of the first one I did on synthetic lanes. The bottom line is I need a better camera. This is all the clearer I can them for now. I felt the top video turned out better then the bottom one did, but they are both just remakes of the first, but with some changes in screen shots angles and zooming. The lane surface was Brunswick pro-anvilane, the lane condition was a house shot, the layout was dual angle drilling for later and faster response to friction. I like this bowling ball it does rollout though, but it does it later down lane. The ball carries extremely well for me and hits hard. Well that is my opinion, but I like ebonite bowling balls, I always have. The video’s and product description are below. I feel this is a good ball and a good price.

Bowling Ball Video Reviews - Columbia Full Swing On Synthetic Lanes

Columbia 300 Full Swing
On Synthetic Lanes Video Review

This was a video I did of the Columbia 300 Full Swing, it was bowled on a synthetic bowling lane surface. The type of synthetic lane is Brunswick's pro-anvilane. Well this video was on a fresh, typical house pattern, the bowling ball layout was a early rolling layout or a slow and earlier responds to friction layout, on the Columbia drill sheet it is drilling no #2 with the mass bias at 2 inches from the thumb hole and the pin under my ring finger and 5 inches from my pap, I did not need a balance hole. The bowling ball surface was the 2000 abralon finish. There are five shots three at the same angle and one at a different angle and redone in slow motion. Like I said before, I like the solid hit of this bowling ball, but it is a little afraid of oil and not as smooth as I thought it would be. It worked well playing down the oil or if I stay out side the oil line and swing it to the dry, then it seems to come back very strong. It would be a good ball for a down and in bowler on a walled house shot or a ball that you use after the shot breaks open. The ball seems like it needs dry boards somewhere. There is the video and product description and links to get more information about the Columbia full swing below.

This was a video I did of the Columbia Full Swing, it was bowled on a wood lane surface with guardian on the first 22 foot. Well this video was on a fresh 40ft foot house pattern, the bowling ball layout was a early rolling layout or a slow and earlier responds to friction layout, on the columbia drill sheet it is drilling no #2 with the mass bias at 2 inches from the thumb hole and the pin under my ring finger and 5 inches from my pap.

I like the solid hit of this bowling ball, but it is a little afraid of oil and not as smooth as I though it would be. It worked well playing down the oil line on freah and good when I swung it to the dry area on a broken down condition. In addition, the ball had a nice even arc to it and had a real nice hard hit at the pocket.

Raw Hammer Burn Video Response

Raw Hammer Burn Video Response

This was a video I did on the raw hammer burn in response to the first one. The quality was so bad on it that I had to redo it. I know ill not get the greatest quality until I get a better camera, but this one will have to do for now. On the video there are 3 shot done two times each, all are done as the original speed then I do them in slow motion. I did like the raw hammer burns hit and reaction on the lanes. It is highly responsive to the dry backend, but did not seem to jerk to much, it seems to read the pattern well is what I am try to say. This was on a house pattern and is a label weighted bowling ball drill layout. Which is good for the average one or two time a week house bowler. This is my opinion and experience, as most know not all bowling centers are the same so you may get a different reaction. In conclusion, I liked the raw hammer burn a good medium priced ball with at high performance reaction. There are links below so you can get more information along with the product description.
