Bowling/Which ball is better?

QuestionWhich ball is better the HAWG WILD by hammer or the RAW ANGER?
AnswerA ball must suit your game, allowing you to match up to the lane condition. If you don't average 170 or better (having some of the consistency and skill to deliver the hook potential you're asking about) and need some of what follows, you may be looking for a MAGIC ball quick fix.
A bowling ball is a tool. What other tools (balls)do you own? What do you need the ball to do? Will this be your only ball (don't buy it, both are too strong to work well on spares)? Do you throw hard? slow? hook it? throw straighter? roll on oily lanes or drier?
If you are speed dominant, the HAWG WILD is a stronger core that can be drilled to roll earlier with a surface that can be made rougher.
Slower speed will allow you to use the smoother surface of both balls, possibly shined.
A higher rev rate will cause the ANGER to be potentially very strong off the end of the oil, creating more of a flip path to the pins.
A weaker rev rate will be benefited by the stronger core of the HAWG WILD, with a capable ball driller able to provide more help from the core.
