"We all began using Hammer as junior bowlers back when the urethane Blue Hammer was the ball of choice and we are happy to represent a company that has produced some of the most popular balls in the industry," said Laura Mattila.

"Having the entire team throwing Hammer equipment has helped all of us tremendously in reading the lanes and being able to make adjustments off our teammates' shots."

Mattila bowled a 279 with Black Widow Bite. Macke and Strunsee, also both using the Bite, threw 258 and 228 respectively. Graff bowled 277 with Cherry Vibe and George posted a 289 with Hammer No Mercy.
