NU Blue Hammer

 

A Revolutionary Ball!

Hammer is excited to introduce a revolutionary ball – actually a game-changer for bowlers seeking alternatives to traditional urethane ball reaction. With recent changes to PBA rules regarding traditional urethane, Hammer took on the challenge of producing a ball that would mimic the performance attributes of the famous Purple Pearl Urethane Hammer without using urethane… and we nailed it. The NU Blue Hammer is “not urethane” but delivers a urethane ball motion. It is versatile, smooth, consistent, and predictable, making it ideal for challenging lane conditions. Bowlers will experience all the advantages of a reactive ball that can be used in any competition while benefiting from the classic Purple Pearl Urethane ball motion that has dominated the lanes for years.

    Fantasic!

    I got last summer, rolled 289 in state tournament. This winter season, it is constant. I now use it, exclusively, for my 7 pin spare (lefty).

    Great Investment

    I just bought this ball for the new bowling season and also a sport shot league. I just used it for the first time after my Friday night league meeting and cannot wait to see what scores I can put up with it. This ball is perfect on house shots, and I am very interested to see how it matches up on short oil patterns for my sport shot league.

    NU for all you can do

    Love this ball. This ball is my go to for short patterns, patterns I have to play a very tight line, burnt out house shots, corner spares and for when everything on the lanes goes to 5h!t and I need a guaranteed line of 12 to 9 into the pocket. Goes with me everywhere.

    Hammer NU is Outstanding!

    I love this ball! It’s works well on the House Shot pattern. Very clean and smooth. Had a very good 800 series game.

    All Control

    Layout: 55 x 5 x 35

    Control, Control, and more Control. That’s what I feel about the NU Blue Hammer. With a fresh cover, the ball hooks quite a bit and is very smooth overall. When you need to control the downlane motion, but get the ball to read early, but are NOT comfortable using urethane, this is a great go-to ball. The cover does shine pretty quick, so it is suggested to keep the cover clean and scuff the surface when needed. If you have a bit of side tilt, you can definitely swing the lane a bit, but you’ll likely use this to keep your angles closed.
