Well, a lot has happened since my last post.  As of my last post, I was a die hard Storm fan.  I wouldn't let anything else roll off my hand for any reason.  That is, until I had a Hammer Black Widow Pearl given to me.  I threw that ball and was amazed.  I had thrown Hammer equipment before Ebonite bought the brand and was very satisfied with it, but I hadn't been able to throw anything new from them.  My averages started going up and my consistancy started going through the roof.  Then, I got a Black Widow.  This ball is flat amazing.  So amazing, in fact, that I shot my first 800 series with it a few weeks ago.  20 strikes in a row between the 2nd and 3rd games with only single pins standing in my way from human error.  This ball hits like a truck.  I'm sorry Storm, but Hammer has converted me into a Hammerhead!
