Comments about Hammer Vibe Midnight:

One a week league bowler 191 avg.
I was three balls removed from my last Hammer purchase and after throwing the Midnight I will never stray again. On league night with only 4 practice balls to its credit shot 249 first game. My Storm Virtual Gravity was just too much power and the urathane ball I carry just wouldint finish consistently, the Vibe was a perfect midway point. Great for anyone looking for good length with a powerful late move into the pocket.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Midnight:

I feel this ball is great for new bowlers looking for something over a plastic ball. I got my son this ball 9yr and he went from a 80-90 avg to 125-135. last week we plugged it and tipped it for him and he bowled 147-138-169 so not to bad. I also got this ball for my-self just to have the same as him and was i happy. Brand new out of the box this thing is perfect. After about 7 months now not so much now ball has to much in the back end even with being in the polisher for 30min. i would say that the cover breaks down way to fast

Comments about Hammer Vibe Midnight:

Had this Midnight vibe drilled to go long and snap at the end it just hits the pocket so hard and I can't believe how consistent the ball is on dry to mid oil. My last Hammer ball was about 16 years ago it also was a hard hitting ball for the time but times change and I upgraded to this midnight vibe and I also went out and purchased a Hammer Taboo! I like the hard hitting of this product even on light pocket hits Wow! I have not bowled for several years but, Hammer still hit's hard and I have started bowling my games in the 200's pretty good for a 155 average bowler! I am going to stay with hammer and hope they never quit making great products like The Midnight vibe and the Taboo!

Comments about Hammer Vibe Midnight:

Nothing hits like a hammer midnight vibe. This is ball is consistent to the pocket between the second and third arrows. My PAP is runs along high track with the pin setting below the finger hole. This ball is setup for skid/flip. Ball works good great on fresh lanes and after the lanes breakdown. I'm enjoying this ball during league play and practice. This ball works great on medium to heavy conditions.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Midnight:

I had this ball drilled straight up so I could control it on dryer lanes. My average has gone up 30 pins in the last month since I bought this ball! The pin carry on this ball is so good, I even carry strikes that are not perfect in the pocket. I absolutely love this ball.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Hammer Vibe Midnight:

I'm just a league bowler, but solid ball. Plays right up the boards nice, so it is a consistent ball and good for spares too. The ball does have a nice snap over to the pocket and hits the pins hard. Sharp looking ball too.

Comments about Hammer Vibe Midnight:

Bought this Midnight Vibe today and I have to say this is by far the best ball in the Vibe series. Out the box I threw the front 8 threw the 9th high and left a ringing 10 but when this ball is thrown consistently it's very dangerous. This is a must have for all of my hammer fans....!!!!
