Maximum Effect

It's a statement!

You asked for more, now get ready for Maximum. The Maximum Effect is the biggest, boldest ball yet in the wildly popular Effect line, built specifically to give you the Effect ball motion you love, but on heavier conditions. For the first time, we’ve combined our HK22 – Cohesion cover with CFI (Carbon Fiber Infused) technology, creating unmatched traction and power on medium to heavier conditions. Finished at a gritty 500/1500 and designed with a stunning four-color swirl, the Maximum Effect isn’t just the strongest Effect yet; it’s a statement. Hammerheads wanted more teeth, more traction, more Effect, and we delivered. This is Maximum performance, Maximum confidence—Maximum Effect.

Great replacement!

Most of the centers locally don’t put out much volume. As a medium matched bowler using urethane is a rare option on events that call for it. My choice is a big Asym and a short pin layout. I drilled the Maximum Effect as a replacement to a similarly drilled Hammer Extreme Envy. This was a perfect update. Both balls had CFI and the Maximum has the HK22C base. I can’t wait to try in its environment. I believe speed dominant bowlers may be able to use on their league patterns. As always, a surface adjustment could be needed but roll it a few games before deciding.

This ball HOOKS!

One of the strongest balls I've ever thrown! Wow does this ball hook!! Perfect for the fresh or speed dominant players. This will be a favorite of mine for a game one ball. It's a perfect 1-2 punch from the Widow Tour V1. Must have in your bag for sure!!

Maximum Effect is an Absolute Beast of a Ball

The maximum effect is absolutely phenomenal. This ball is a great first ball out of your bag if you have any volume in the heads it will track right through it with no problem. This ball is consistent of the break point and does not quit. The surface can be adjusted to provide even more angle through the pocket. With box surface this ball is continuous and hits like a mack truck.

This ball is clean through the heads and turn the corner with no wiggle or jiggle. A true great addition to the Effect Series. With a change of surface to more shine this ball is stronger than the original effect pearl.

This ball is not for the timid. This ball will get through the oil with no problem and provide a great midlane read and go through the pocket hard.

If you want an all eyes on me moment for sure... Pick yourself up a Maximum effect . Its controllable, great traction and awesome hit!

My new favorite Effect

I have owned each of the four Effects that Hammer has released, and this one is just as good as the rest of them! Fresh out of the box, this ball appears to have more traction and an earlier shape than that of the Special Effect and original Effect, while having more pop that that of the Effect Tour. if you aren't a fan of the surface then no need to worry, it lane shines pretty quick and becomes a much rounder overall shape. Personally, I enjoy the shape it makes with surface, especially bowling on heavy oil conditions.

Absolute Beast

On our house shot today, which is probably an easier challenge shot, out of box This ball was smooth, Turns the corner and hits like a Mac truck. The ball didn’t overreact, it didn’t do anything that I wasn’t expecting it to do, I believe it’s going to be an absolute beast. I play a little straighter up the boards higher speed 17.5+, you won’t be disappointed.
