Heya Gang.... Just trying to drum up some interests on what you would like to see from Hammer in the future!  What do you want to see from our brand?

Love the vibes answer. But this can be summed up easily. Less balls in the line, Hammer has become notorious to have so many (my opinion to many) balls in the line. It gets the average person confused I feel.

I would love to see a remake of the Pink Hammer.   

Very hard shell (urethane or resin), medium RG, low diff.

Sometimes bowl on old scorched wood lanes, I think the "pinky" would work quite nicely for me.   :)

i just wish they would keep making vibes. i would go so far to say they are in the top 3-4 ball series of all time.

Been having great success with a Cobalt Vibe.  If they are smart they bring out something else with that core.

The 3-D Offset IS my favorite Hammer ball of all time, though I doubt Hammer could replicate the core of that ball in a solid version.


Also, a flash back to the old Blade series. Back in the day.......I remember carrying an arsenal of several different Messengers and several different Blades. The Saw Blade, the Switch Blade and others and these balls were all very, very useful.

A ball with a similar reaction to that series of balls would be worth my while.
Some days you're the bug....some days you're the windshield...that's bowling!

found this one overseas yesterday. If we are lucky, this may make an appearance at the Booth in Reno (though I doubt it)..

Deep Purple Vibe = House Shot monster. I would probably buy at least 2 of those

Used my discontinued Cobalt Vibe a lot in Vegas and Reno over the past two weeks.  Definitely more than a house shot ball.
