Great Ball, I got one of these for attending Super School in Vegas and had it punched there. Ball goes long and then BAM sharp turn to the pocket and hits very hard. Takes surface adjustments very well also. Very versatile ball. This is my first Global 900, but probably wont be my last.

Great Shirt !! Comfortable, Drys Quickly, and looks fantastic. I would definitely recommend this shirt. Really would be great for team shirts also. Great Bargain also on the two for one sale. Keep up the great prices.

I love these shoes, very comfortable, took no time at all to break in, interchangeable soles and heels, look great, great price. My local center wanted nearly $200 for these shoes.

Just received this ball, and got it punched up yesterday and all I can say is WOW ! This ball is a monster on the back end, dont know about some of these reviews, but this ball is great, easily clears the heads and when it reads the dry, it turns on the left turn signal and charges hard, carry was very good also. First Ebonite I have ever owned and it is great !

I have had this bag for a couple of months now and I like it a lot, it looks great seems to be made pretty heavy, rolls good,and the handle works good for me 5'10. The balls in the bottom do tend to move around toward the front of the bag and make it a little tippy, and there really isnt a spot to put shoes without smashing them up. Overall I do like it though, I do wish it could handle a two ball add on.

Ok this is a re-evaluation of this ball, I guess it needed to get a track wore in a little bit because this ball is a monster now. I have bowled four 600 series in a row with it now, and this ball will come back from anywhere. I cant believe how much the reaction has changed the past two weeks but it has, carry is great also. I will admit I called it wrong on this ball to begin with, this is going to end up being my favorite widow ball I think !

Got this drilled up today, drilling layout #3 went to throw it on THS and this ball was weak... period. Now I believe there was a lot of carrydown but I still expected more out of this ball, I throw medium speed, with a lot of rev's around 420 usually and this ball would not come back. I will try again on a fresh house shot and re-evaluate, but right now I am not to happy with it and I have always been a Hammer guy.

Ok second review on this ball. Apparently the first few times I rolled this ball it was burning up early and had no energy left in the back. Bowled on a fresh shot last night, and the ball was great had a lot of pop, and a lot of arc to it. Just goes to show you that you have to work a little bit to find the right shot and lane condition. This ball ended up being very strong after all.

I love Hammer products and have never had a problem with them until now. Technically you can stuff a pair of shoes in this bag but it is way to small. I bought this deluxe version because I thought it was bigger and better made. I have the four ball roller and it is great but this one leaves a lot to be desired. There is no pad between bowling balls so unless you put a towel between them the balls are going to bang together.

Nice bag, looks great and is handy for setting on top of my spider four ball roller. Could be a little heavier made on the inside with more padding to keep the balls from banging together. I have to put a towel in between, but overall great bag.

Had this ball on Saturday and didnt get to throw it until Mon evening. Took a little getting used to the first game shot a 171, then BAM 279, 299. 21 Strikes in a row before I left a 9 pin the third game. This ball is unbelievably strong and hits like a Bomb. I had it drilled pin under for strong mid lane read and it is great for that, but still has plenty left for continuation on back end. This was a replacement ball, and all I can say is GREAT Service from Bowlingball.com they were very helpful and bent over backwards to make sure they took care of me especially Keith Spear the CEO of the company. Great Job guys ! To Hammer great job also, this ball cant be beat at this pricepoint, and for that matter probably not by higher pricepoints either.

Hammer has a real winner here. I needed a ball for the nights the center put a light oil pattern down or for the third game of the night. On a THS third game I can stand 20-22 and put it out to 8-10 and it has a nice controlled arc to the pocket. You do have to keep a decent speed up or it will come in high. Just because this ball has a pancake Core dont think it wont move, it will surprise you with its movement and with how hard it hits.

I have shot my Highest game and Highest series with this ball and won my first tournament with it, so I really cant complain, other tahn it is a little condition specific. I have found it to be best at 2000 polished. If it isnt really oily or if you dont have polish it burns up in the heads. Still all in all a great ball though.

One word AWESOME ! ball is really good oob, it is polished so it gets down the lane well and clears the heads easily, then it is strong but controllable when it hits the friction on the back. This ball hits hard and puts ten in the pit. Medium to medium dry work best for this ball, but by adjusting your feet, mark and/or release you can play slicker or drier conditions. First Motiv I have ever owned but it will not be the last. Very good, very versatile ball.

Have reviewed several balls on here and I have liked most of them, but not this one. The carry with this ball has been terrible ! I was thinking it may have just been one certain house I was in but nope for me, I have tried three different houses and it just hits like a pillow. It does have the smooth arc, and doesnt snap off like a reactive would, but I just cant get it to carry. I had high hopes for this ball, but for me it is just horrible. Definitely wouldnt buy again. Very dissapointed and feel like money was wasted on this ball.

Great looking ball and great action also. I had this ball drilled pin up to go longer and for dry lane conditions. This ball fit the bill nicely and hits like a truck. Another winner for Roto Grip and bowlingball.com

I threw this ball at a Demo day and afterwards bought it on the spot. I really liked the early read and very strong backend motion on this ball, and talk about carry... the pins explode when this ball hits. Wes Malott was at the demo day and I had about a 45 minute lesson from him with this ball and I dont know whether it was the ball or his advice but I couldnt miss with it. You will not be dissapointed with this ball.

Not at a happy with this ball, doesnt make any kind of strong move, early or late. I love my Mutant Cell, but this ball doesnt begin to compare. I needed this ball quickly though and bowlingball.com made sure I got it, when I needed it. Bowlingball.com really do customer service right, not their fault this ball was a dud.

Ok, this is a re review of an earlier one on the Realm. First off I appologize on the spelling errors in the first review, must have been in a hurry that day. The ball has never gotten any better for me, I realize many people on here like it and I am glad for Roto Grip I love their products, but this ball just isnt a good fit for me. The Mutant just gets better and better, and maybe I am unfairly comparing the two, but it didnt meet my expectations. Bowlingball.com has been great to me though, and I in no way blame them. This has to be the best customer service I have ever received on anything bowling related or not. I will definitely order more products from them.

My new favorite ball, drilled pin under. I first threw this at a demo day, and purchased one on the spot. Incredibly strong ball for this price point, or any price point. Heavy, hard arcing ball that isnt snappy, carry is tremendous, and can be polished for the drier conditions. Have bowled some great games with this ball in last two weeks, highly recommend.

Great Looking Shirt, perfect for league night, comfortable, keeps you dry, and when you look good you feel good and you bowl good. Maybe a little Big Wes Mojo wont hurt either.

Ball looks great, and does exactly what it was intended for, go straight. Bought this ball as a spare ball for my wife. Works great and was a very reasonable price, one of the big reasons I do all my business wit this company, outstanding service, great products and a fair price. Hope the bowling ball companies dont continue to take things away from us people who work everyday and cant afford pro shop prices most of the time.
