Hey guys. My wife currently uses the emerald vibe and loves it however, I think she needs to add a Higher RG ball to her arsenal so that when she is throwing well, changing her target and position and the ball is simply hooking early or arcing out and hitting the pocket to straight she can switch balls and get it to go longer and hook a bit later.

Do you all have any recommendations on High RG balls out there?
Anything by Hammer would be a plus.
thanks
Evil

Either a 900 Global Link or Roto Grip Neptune come to mind. Maybe an Avalanche Slide which has a weak cover but it's more of a medium RG ball.

You're not going to get too much weaker than an Emerald Vibe in a reactive. Avalanche Pearl or Slide would be my recommendation. Maybe the Link as well.

I second the Roto Grip Neptune and the Global Link, they are very long and angular balls that work well on medium dry to dry lanes.

The Roto Grip Mars will go long but has more backend than the Neptune, if that is what you are looking for. Check out the reviews on BowlingBall.com. You can also check out the reaction chart on Roto Grip's site:
