The original Burgundy Hammer from the early 1990’s was the earliest and strongest ball of its time; if you needed hook, you turned to the Burgundy. We didn’t set out to give the bowling world another urethane product, we already have the Blue Hammer and you wouldn’t see a lot of difference on today’s lane conditions. Instead, we have brought you the Burgundy Hammer reaction for today’s environments.
This is not a urethane ball, but a reactive cover we’re calling Reacta-Thane. This is an early rolling cover we’ve made even stronger by finishing the ball with 500 grit Abralon™. The color is the same, the finish is similar and the reaction is a throwback to what made the Burgundy so special.

The Burgandy was the highlight of my bowling career. From traveling leagues and high school/college bowling teams this ball set the record straight! Winning scholarships from this products in the 90's was huge. I would love to get a Burgandy Hammer with a full finger tip grip again.
I used this ball from 2012 till 2019. I liked the ball, but at 71 years old, the 16 lb ball was giving me back problems(I bowl in 2 leagues a week}. I switched to the Hammer Fugitive 15 lb. It felt better but my scores started going down. Two weeks ago, I went back to the Burgundy Hammer. The 3rd time back in league I rolled a 201, 244, 205. Please bring this ball back so I can get it in a 15 lb.
I don't know where to even start. I've had this ball for years and still bring it with to league every week. Great as a first ball, awesome spare ball, good for a 10 pin. Hammer needs to bring this ball back...
i regret not buying like 10 of these before they were discontinued.
