Test Results
In testing; The Hammer Gauntlet the basic ball motion we got was a longer skid through the heads with a shorter transition in the mid-lane, the Gauntlet had a more arcing/angular motion and revs up in the back-end. We found the Gauntlet to have a smoother type ball motion and had very good continuation. The pin down ball changed direction a couple feet sooner and had smoother transitions than the pin up.
In conclusion.
Our over all impression of the Hammer Gauntlet…
We felt the Hammer Gauntlet would be best used as a first game ball on medium to heavier and longer lane patterns. A good ball for playing a medium line on medium oil or direct line on heavy oil patterns. You will need some oil but don't have to be flooded for peak performance of this bowling ball. A strong ball from Hammer.. We put this in the smooth arcing and controlled motion category of bowling balls.
It would be a good strong 1st game bowling ball on medium heavy oil patterns. Refer to the resources below for more information about the Hammer Gauntlet from Hammer Bowling….
This review was from our personal observations and you may get a different result do to all the many factors involved in bowling…
