Onyx Vibe pairs up our reliable Vibe symmetric core with a new CT Reactive Plus coverstock. The Onyx Vibe gives bowlers a ball motion that we haven?t had in our Hammer line for quite some time. Bowlers will see a very aggressive arc throughout the entire lane with the Onyx Vibe. This is by far the most aggressive Vibe made to date. It comes in a very sharp Onyx Sparkle color with Gold Flake engraving.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Onyx:

I bought this ball a year ago. I've had trouble figuring it out so I stayed with old faithful. I started using it again this year and now things are working out pretty good. I plan to dull the ball instead of having a polish. Medium oil is better. Light Oil (for me) still works but of course adjustments is needed. I say give it a try.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Onyx:

Amazing over all bowling ball i recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful snap into the pocket.

I have it drilled with #1 layout medium track. I like to start from the last dot to the left walk up put a bit of resistance on my arm to keep it a bit on the slow side. and aim a footin front of the 2nd arrow from the right. usually gets me a strike if I can hit it.

Got my second 200 game ever.

Love it.

Great short oil ball

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Hammer Vibe Onyx:

This is a great short oil ball. I love the way it revs up in the midlane and the hitting power is impressive for a mid price medium to light oil ball. My only problem is when there is a lot of carry down it loses its hitting power, leaving a lot of 10's and swishing 7's. Changing the angle to the pocket usually remedies this problem. Ball is great for going up the boards and is good for playing deeper as long as there is some dry down lane. All in all a very impressive ball.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Onyx:

I bought this ball last week and after a one game adjustment period, I bowled the next two at 20 pins over average. Next time i bowled with this ball i bowled over my average by 30 pins. Much better than my old ball, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an upgrade. Medium oil, tends to go long before breaking into the pocket.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Onyx:

This is a great ball. I have been a big fan of the Vibe balls for the last few years and this ball fits right in with the rest. This ball is about 4-6 boards stronger than my cherry vibe. Tons of easy length with a nice smooth arc to the pocket. This ball makes it out of my bag more times than not. Great ball for all skill levels of bowlers.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Onyx:

Great ball, good arc, nice snap and hook! Great pin carry, with the occasional 10 pin. *No big woop...I can knock it down with ease. The Onyx Vibe is versitile as your main ball and spare ball. It does it all, for me at least. The price is right compared with more $$$ balls that are not up to par. Get one and have it drilled aggresively...you won't be dissapointed!

Comments about Hammer Vibe Onyx:

I just bought this ball to replace my Zone Pro that is over 10 years old. My first series out of the box was a 578 with a 216 high game. I bowled the very next day for fun and shot a 240 game in a completely different house. This ball is great for all lane conditions! I had a couple of bad shots where the ball rode close to the gutter, but it fully recovered for a nice break of either a strike of 9. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an upgrade! Nice job Hammer!
