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.
LIVES UP TO ITS NAME--GREAT BALL--FIRST 3 SHOTS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX WERE X'S
Clean through the front strong mids and backend, definitely one of the first balls out of the bag!
I love this bowling ball and I feel hammer should start mass producing different balls
Here you go, I know we always say this is the ball. Well Hammer has done it again. The Pure Envy with HK22 and Cohesion additive gives this ball great motion and traction.
I used out of the box at a tournament the 1st day for the 1st 4 games, then used it in league in a different center and then in league in another center and the ball response was great in all 3 events. I do have it drilled aggressive and am just letting the lane shine do the work.
It definitely will be going to a few up coming tour events.
