Hammer Jigsaw Corner
Given the name one would certainly expect this ball to cut the corner sharply and find the pocket even when you roll a bit outside of your intended path. By customer reviews, it appears that’s exactly what this ball does. It’s definitely able to take on the heaviest of oil on the lanes. The descriptions of users often personify the ball and give it a mind of its own! The ball has been described as “wanting nothing more than to smash the pins”. The way people are talking, I’m picturing it not just correcting from a board or two off. I’m getting a visual of it jumping up out of the gutter! Of course I’m laughing as I say that. But it seems to be the case that bowler after bowler gets the same result. Throw it where you want meant to or accidentally throw it off a bit, the ball still cuts throw and finds the pocket. It seems it’s difficult not to get at least 9 pins and splits rarely happen with the incredible pin action the Jigsaw Corner gives you.
The secret is Hammer’s combo of the same “Jigsaw” core from the original Hammer Jigsaw and the new Quick Corner 5/4 cover stock. The new cover allows it to roll longer than the original Jigsaw. And then it has a much sharper cut for much more aggressive back end than the original. So you can take your pick. With the first Jigsaw, you can roll longer and you have to be more accurate. Or you can go with the newer, more forgiving Hammer Jigsaw Corner.
As always, if you’re rolling this ball at your local house or if you’ve gotten to test it out somewhere, give me a shout. Let me know about its real world performance, whether it upped your score, etc. Let me know if it’s really as forgiving as everyone says it is.
Until next time…
