I got my Ocean Vibe and threw a few shots with it and felt it was a bit angular for my slower ball speed so I took it to 4000 grit. Subbed that night and shot 289, 300, 258 for an 847 set.... the ball was so predictable and consistent! Thanks Hammer

Missed out many chances on different Vibe balls throughout the years. When it was released, I already have 2 RAW Solids and 2 RAW Pearls Pink/Grey/Purple balls which you can see my review on them. The PSO looked all my RAWs and loved the layouts but nudged me to give this Vibe Ocean Blue a shot and told me I am gonna love it. He drilled the Vibe pin up on right ring finger, and touched it down with 3000 sanded.
Three straight weeks, the Vibe became my go-to last game ball in my hand. Not even once I see it under 180 last games. First week of last game, I bowled 218. 2nd week of last game, bowled 180. Third week of last game, bowled 186. Yes, it’s a true closer game ball for me. It’s my response to the lefties (no offense, lefties!) who thunk they can get away with having Hammer Purple Urethane balls on their hands—they’re sorely mistaken! I bowled as an anchorman for my team—3 straight weeks of winning record: 19-2.
The reactions: smooth, controllable, right backends, and hit the pocket where it’s supposed to be. The strikes I get wasn’t too violent, eruptive or with abandoned reckless—struck perfectly with the right motion. It’s a true winner. Go get them Vibe—and HAMMER THEM ALL, Y’ALL!
