Hammer Effect

 

Unlike any other! 

The new Hammer Effect is unlike any other; it is the first ball to be poured in four colors. The gorgeous appearance isn’t the only thing that will turn heads; the Hammer Effect’s clean and aggressive mid-lane and backend performance is unparalleled in the High Performance category. The Hammer Effect introduces a new core shape called Huntsman and has physical features that will remind you of other famous Hammer balls like the Vibe and Black Widow, creating optimum performance on the lanes. Along with the new core, we’ve upped our HK22 game with this new version that takes responsiveness to the next level. Once you see what the Hammer Effect does on the lanes, you’ll want HK22 – Cohesion Pearl to be used more and more.

    Somewhat disappointed

    I've had this ball since it came out. At first the ball was great. My 2nd game with it was like a 235. Now it doesn't last 1 game. If I leave a ten pin, I adjust and leave a 7 or a 4 pin. if it slams the pocket occassionally I leave a solid 9. Average has gone down by 25 pins. Last night was a 472 series, when I'm use to 600's and above.

    Hits like a truck!

    This ball is absolutely amazing. I bought this ball looking for something stronger on the back end and it did not disappoint! I’m a rare one finger bowler and I put a lot of speed and generate high revs through this ball. I had this ball drilled pin up and the hook is insane while remaining powerful on the back end. It’s a must buy! Honestly I’m selfish and want them to stop production immediately! I want to keep this beauty and beast of a ball all to my self!

    The G.O.A.T of Hammer?

    For the record, I will never pre-maturely post a review of a ball that I haven't thrown across a variety of patterns and houses. I have now had this ball for about 3 months regardless of whether I'm bowling on something easy or tough, I always find myself at one point or the other trying this ball since I have seen so much success with it in my hands.
    On the house conditions, i feel that this ball gives me more down lane ball motion that I've ever seen on a ball, while on heavier volume conditions, the motion is very slow, smooth, and controllable as long as the pattern distance isn't too short.
    Of every 7 Brands ball that I have thrown in my life, this is 100% my favorite reactive resin bowling ball I have put my hand into, and is on pace to be one of my favorite reactive resin balls of all time!

    Needed something more aggressive so I drilled up the effect 65x4.5x20 longer and more angular for the carry down on the 42ft pattern. Through it the 3rd game stood 30 board through over 20 to 12 had 3 in a row then a spare then 6 more in a row another spare for 268 this ball works great.

    Smooth over a wide range.

    League night, house shot, about 5 of us all got the ball freshly drilled same day. A lot of the straight-up-the 13 bowlers struggled with the ball coming back. I am a 2-hander and played 22-17 out to about 12 at the break with this one and shot a 242 first game. Ended up with a 628 series throwing all 3 games with this one. I only had to move about 2-3 boards which was really nice.

    After about 3 nights with this ball, I ended up having to move nearly 6 boards in as the ball was having a lot more trouble turning in friction. Eventually, after a good 30+ games on it, I was throwing it straight up the 12 board. The ball REALLY became saturated quickly and I was having to play it "skinny".

    This ball kind of went on the shelf until I took it to a shop to "sweat it". It took a TON of time to get the oil out. We sanded it down and brought it back to factory finish and the ball is back to that superb shape.

    Those colors REALLY look good on that ball as it shows off your revs nicely. You can really see how this ball reads. Keep in mind, it's thirsty and drinks up that oil fast. My best series with this one ended up being a 668 (about 25 above my avg) on Helium pattern. It is often my first ball out on league nights and is one of the few balls I can roll all 3 games with with minimal adjustment.
