The pure envy is always the first ball out of my bag now. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of revs I tend to throw bigger balls. My go to before this came out was the original Envy. I was extremely happy with how well this ball reacted to heavy oil. The new additive cohesion with the HK22 allows this ball have a similar motion to the hammer effect which is a huge favorite. I think this is the best big ball the line has created and no matter how you throw it , it should be added to the bag. Also the colors are amazing which is another bonus!!
The new go to big ball for oil. For a dull ball the motion reminds me of the very popular Effect. It just flat out performs simple as that. You will not want to be anywhere without this ball. I haven’t seen very many if any dull balls provide the traction and backend motion quite like this
The Newest High Performance Bowling Ball From Hammer The Pure Envy Is Definitely The Greatest Addition And Great For Medium To Heavier Oil Volume Patterns. HK22 Cover Stock And Launcher Core Helps Make This Ball Very Versatile Bowling Ball For All Types Of Bowlers And Rev Rates. Great Ball Choice For Tournament Bowlers Especially The Longer Length Oil Patterns. Compared To The Extreme Envy This New Pure Envy Has A Few Extra Boards Of Swing Room And Gets Through The Oil And Really Drives Through The Pin Deck. A New Big Ball For Oil And Overall Hook And The Colors Make This Ball Very Appealing Especially Downlane And Able To Read Ball Motion. #Hammer #HammerBowling #Nothinghitslikesahammer
I really like this new addition to the Envy line. I have not seen this reaction on the back in a dull finish ball. It's been my go to for the fresh on league night, and I recently was able to try it on a couple of patterns in Klamath Falls which featured dual patterns for the regional. I was able to use it on the fresh for both patterns and was impressed with the control on the longer Rick Steelsmith pattern as well as the response on the Del Ballard shorter pattern. I will echo exactly what I read and heard and now have seen that The Pure Envy has the strength, with more length of the Extreme Envy and the backend response of The Effect. Don't sleep on this one folks! You'll be sorry if you miss out.
The Hammer Pure Envy released a couple of weeks ago. It features the same Launcher asymmetric core found in the original Envy wrapped by a black/pink/purple HK-22 cohesion coverstock. Box finish is 2000 Siaair and the videos were shot on fresh THS. I've also used the Pure Envy with good success on higher volume, 45 foot 4:1 challenge pattern. For comparison, I threw an original Envy at box finish with a comparable layout.
Compared to the original Envy, I definitely see a little more length and a stronger backend. In practicing with both pieces on the same pair, I got the Pure Envy a little wider and it came back with a little quicker motion off the spot. The original Envy is a bit earlier and smoother from what I saw. That being said, the Pure Envy, like other releases in the Envy line, are designed for higher volumes of oil. I see this new Pure Envy as a good choice for any higher volume patterns and depending on the bowler's speed, could be in play on a variety of pattern distances.
The Pure Envy is readily available, see your pro shop for more information.
