Purple Solid Reactive

The Reactive Purple Hammer provides a great compliment to the Purple Urethane Hammer. As the lane begins to transition and smooth out, this ball allows you to stay in a similar part of the lane with a slight change in reaction. As expected, the reactive purple is cleaner and provides more pop downlane than the traditional Purple Hammer. With surface, this ball provides a solid option for low-rev players who may not be able to create the same motion with urethane as higher-rev players.

What an amazing compliment to the purple urethane. When my urethane is too early I switch to the reactive and it’s smooth sailing and I mean SMOOTH. But unlike some of my other smooth pieces, the reactive still goes through the pins with authority. I can see this ball being a staple for high rev players or those of us that like to get up against the dry.

The Hammer Purple Reactive has a very predictable ball motion that certainly gets through the oil very well. I have found this ball to be very useful on challenge/sport shots. It does very well in reading the lane and not over reactive off the friction. I drilled my Purple Reactive pin down and is still responds well off the friction. If drilled pin-up, I feel this could be a good benchmark ball for tournament play.

The Hammer Purple Reactive gives me a predictable ball motion. I get a urethane type shape but a little stronger and with a little more forgiveness on misses that I don’t get from urethane. I use this sometimes on house shots and it really excels on shorter sport patterns where a ton of guys are throwing urethane. I have an above average rev rate but not up there with the 2 handers, so this allows me to play the same area of the lane as I would with urethane but I can stay in this ball longer and it doesn’t react as poorly when they start to transition. Bonus, it still hits like a Purple Hammer since it’s a 2-piece ball. I went with 60 x 4.5 x 40 for my layout for a benchmark type shape.

The Hammer Purple Solid Reactive is a great ball that gets through the oil and is smooth and not over reactive off the dry. This ball for me is a Solid piece and can be used on a sport pattern or a typical house shot because it blends the lanes out very well. This ball is predictive and helps to keep my angles under control. Definitely a step up and great compliment to the Purple Urethane and helps to keep your shot line in tact. A Great Ball to keep in your bag and not a bad Bench mark piece.
