Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

my brother bought me this bowling ball a week or so ago. I haven't been bowling for a few years now.
Once i got a replacement (the guy at the pro shop got the wrong drilling instructions for the ball they were for a symmetrical core not an asymmetrical core) i changed up my layout from what i had always thrown. i went with a strong layout which seemed to work best at the house i shoot at. first three games out of the box were 178,235,and my very first 300. i couldn't ask for a better ball.

 
Awesome Ball

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

Just picked up bowling again and bought this & rolled a 210,258, & 211 my first 3 games right after getting it drilled. My average before this ball was in the 170s. Finally I can hit strikes consistently

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

This ball is amazing although it hooks a little harder then is rated for but is does go long and it the pocket hard. First game I through with it was a 150 so took it in to the pro shop and got a little more shine put on it and my next two games I through a 197 and a 203

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

This ball is insane, out-hooks my reign supreme by far, just when you think this ball won't be able to make it back, it screams to life straight through the pocket. picked two big splits with it and just finished bowling a 209 on my second night throwing it. I love this ball, nothing hits like a hammer!!!

Service & Delivery comments:

The shipping was crazy fast, got standard shipping and the ball was here three days after purchase.

Cons:
none
Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

I used a tropical storm for my spares before I got the epidemic, not any more, it's my all purpose ball (except for the 10pin). I love this ball on any lane conditions. It breaks late and hard and even if I am a little light it mixes up well enough to knock out the 7 pin. I leave a lot less 10 pins now, and have added 30 pins to my avg from last season! Love this ball!

Amazing Bowling Ball

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

This ball is amazing, definitely. I got this ball 2 weeks ago, and I definitely got to say that this ball is a monster. It comes back and hits hard. First skid/ flip ball I bought, and I am definitely sticking to hammer. This ball has increased my average from 180 to 212.

Radical Colors and a Radical Backend!
By RickyMouseVerified Reviewer from Conway, AR on 9/3/2011
Pros:
Colorful Coverstock, Good Distance, Hard Hitting, Very Aggressive Backend
Cons:
None as of yet
Best Uses:
Medium oil
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

After getting a feel for this ball I really love it! This ball has a lot of distance on it and has a very aggressive back-end.Hits the pins hard and travels thru them like a freight train.
I will have to admit that with the high polish finish, I had to slow my ball speed down considerably to keep the ball from traveling too far before it hooks.I plan to sand the finish slightly to get a better bite on the lane and use my normal ball speed.
My previous ball was a RotoGrip Mutant Cell Pearl and this ball puts it to shame.
If you're looking for a ball that has an aggressive back-end and hits hard, this ball is for you!

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was AWESOME!!! I had pre-ordered this ball, waiting on manufacturer release date and received it the next day after release!
This is my third ball ordered from Bowling.com and their service is second to none.
Great prices and great service and delivery. What more could you ask for?

Pros:
Easy to handle
Best Uses:
Medium oil
Bottom Line:

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

Thanks Hammer!! I just bought the taboo and the epidemic. The epidemic is a great compliment to the taboo when the lanes start to change. My average is 152 but I look forward to seeing it increase once I get use to using these bowling balls.

Appearance, Consistency, Control, Strong Backend
Cons:
none
Best Uses:
League, Tournament
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Hammer Epidemic:

Just purchased this ball last week and I am very familiar with Hammer products. This ball did exactly what the desription says...it turned some heads! After throwing a few shots with it you can see this ball has one of the strongest backend reactions of any ball I have thrown. I am an elite bowler averaging 235+ in league play and this ball does the job for sure. Shot 710 series with a 279 game the first night in league and I felt like I was still getting used to the ball after the second game. I would highly reccommend getting this ball if your planning on increasing your game!
