First off this ball looks great! Drilled for length and moderate backend, however the ball hooked a lot more than I expected. Once I found my mark the ball just crushed the pocket. Ridiculous backend power and carry for a mid priced ball. Shot a 230 first game with the ball. This was the first Hammer product I purchased and it won't be my last. GO GET THIS BALL!!!!

This ball has really improved my game alot. I have never throw so many 200 and 300 games in my life. the backend in this ball will totally shock you when you have a good ball and get a strike. If you throw the ball soft it will have alot of revs and it will have alot more backend than usaull.

Awesome ball, It may be a little too aggressive when you first throw the ball, but after 10+ games the ball seems to settle down, and have a perfect backend snap not too aggressive or too flat. This ball is a MUST for Dry lanes believe me it will increase your average for dry lanes by atleast 10 pins. Very good for Dry lanes, and very cheap can't go wrong with that! Also, If anyone that reads this throws a Virtual Gravity, the vibe is the perfect compliment ball when the lanes start to break down.

I was hoping that this ball would go a little longer than my Pearl Cell. Today I threw it for the first time and it reacted about the same as my cell,with a little snappier back end.The Vibe does tend to be more speed sensitive than my cell and hook a little more severe,but if your looking for a ball for heavy oil this is very nice.I'm a 59 year old bowler and can't keep the speed up as when I was younger but I still throw the ball at a pretty good clip.So if your a Senior and your ball isn't hooking give this ball a try it's an excellent ball for the money.

I have found this ball very useful. The only thing wrong with it is, it is a lot stronger than Hammer advertises. I actually needed to buy the Razyr because the vibe is too stong for one of the very dry houses I bowl at. I would recommend this ball to anyone needing length and backend in medium to medium dry lanes.

Like the rating says, it is just OK. I find the problem with this ball is in the coverstock. It needs constant maintenance. After about 10 games the ball looses it's drive through the pin deck. The core makes a great move but the drive when it is maintained but if not it hits like a marshmallow.

I'm a youth leauge bowler who was desperate for a good ball. This is the best ball i have used in a very long time. The Vibe Hammer is one of the best hooking balls that fits my style.

I got talked into this ball by the guy at the pro shop and I am so mad I did. I needed a ball for heavy oil in league play and this is not the ball for that. I had an old urethane hammer for about 15 years which i loved but needed replacement. This ball is useless on medium to heavy oil lanes. No hook at all and little movement on the backend. It has worsened my game.
