While my Envy Tours are some of the best rolling stuff I’ve ever thrown, the Extreme Envy was a little more “forward” off the spot for my game in some instances? The Pure Envy retains side roll and shape unlike any heavy oil ball I’ve thrown?! After 290 out of the box with it, I can see this one going to every tournament with me. I drilled mine 70x4 1/2x20, and my PAP is 4 3/4 over and 5/8 up. Strike away!
Your competition will have pure envy after watching you throw this ball. Both performance and shelf appeal are amazing. The Pure Envy is a great compliment to the Extreme Envy. The Pure Envy will be your transition ball when the heads and midlanes have a medium to high amount of oil, but your other ball is slowing down at the break point. Plan to use both on your house shot and tournament play.
The Pure Envy is a very clean ball that has a great reaction and continuous movement through the pins. I put 3000 on mine and was able to go from the straighter angle to the inside line within 3 games. I was able to keep this ball in my hand. I may restore to 2000 and let it lane shine next . This ball is my first ball out the bag and its a great compliment if you want something quicker off the spot comparably to the extreme envy. See your local proshop for this treat.
This ball fits a need in the Hammer lineup! High end aggressive motion that's made for heavy oil that you can use as the night goes on. Nothing like this in the Hammer lineup, must have in the bag!
I am a big fan of the Envy line of bowling balls. The Envy Tour is my go-to ball when the lanes are tough. The Envy Tour Pearl is a favorite of mine when the lanes have opened up and you need high scores. The Extreme Envy is my favorite heavy oil, or long oil ball. I'll throw in the Hammer Effect also because that is my favorite ball when I need to get super deep on the lane and play 5th or 6th arrow. Now hammer is adding the Pure Envy which has attributes of all of these pieces. It has a dull hybrid cover, but that cover has the HK22 & a cohesion additive that was introduced in the Effect. It has the original Launcher core which is slightly different than the Launcher LRG in the Extreme. This ball is a big oil ball that is a little cleaner and more continuous. I have about 5 or 6 games on mine and so far, I am letting it lane shine. The shape has just gotten better and better so far. This one has a good chance to be special.
