Features:

  1. The core of the ball

The diesel torque comes with the same popular symmetrical core as the original diesel model. Hammer bowling balls are famous for their core. This symmetrical core gives you a satisfactory mid-lane reaction; if you are already a diesel ball user, you know how powerful the core is. Hammer comes with a real combination of Hammer’s carbon fiber outer core with a 3-year warranty.

  1. The coverstock of the ball

Well, we all know the importance of coverstock. Its juiced solid cover gives the ball some grit.

Compared to the original diesel one, this ball’s coverstock is expected to be stronger. The ball produces you more mid-lane traction than the original one.

The deep juiced solid coverstock comes with 500/2000 abralon matte finish. This combination allows for an earlier read, leading to more overall hook with forgiveness and recovery.

  1. The overall reaction

The ball has a high RG rating of 2.51 and a high differential of 0.046. The ball is one of the best balls for medium to heavy lane oil conditions where you can keep your angles in front of you.

Storing energy on the backend, the ball gives you continuous motion. Its hook potential is a little bit more than the original. You will see a lot of motion from left to right, but it’s never lost its hit to the pin.

The torque will allow you to move in and still have strong motion and continuation through the pins, where the original diesel would be too strong only in the mids! This is a great ball for your arsenal.
