In regards to the Cobalt Vibe questions, here is the answer that I received about this ball from the "Big Man" himself:
It is more for cosmetic... More solid widow cover with pearl than Black Widow Pearl type, which had more pearl in the cover.... This cover has more solid blend
This ball is such a great selling Vibe because of the versatility it brings to the Hammer line that we haven't seen since the original Blue or Onyx Vibe. You will not be disappointed in the Cobalt Vibe!
I wonder if half the sales of the Cobalt weren't due to the color versus the Grape Vibe which is one of the ugliest balls I've seen in a long, long time.
But it makes no difference how much pearl they say is in the cover, every other word out of Hammer's "mouth" in their Cobalt Vibe Video is the
extreme[/b] length it gets and how much backend it has, even more than the Grape Vibe, which until now, had the most backend of any Vibe.
Here's some other direct quotes from Hammer:
- "Cobalt Vibe offers extreme length with an angular backend motion. Now Hammer bowlers have the perfect option for going coast to coast on dry lane conditions! "
- "This Vibe is built to get further down the lane in a pearlized shell, with a devastating backend move on dry lane conditions!"
This is not the work of a solid coverstock.
