It’s the purple hammer that’s the issue pay attention son

No, the issue with the Purple Hammers not getting checked for hardness is a separate issue.  He has a history of stating Urethane doesn't belong.  For him to use one after trashing them in general is hypocritical.

To his credit, Rash behaved himself as he lost to Belmo.  I guess since he chose to throw urethane on the right lane he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.


I feel like he behaved himself because he got fined, suspended, and ripped to shreds on social media. Turning point? Too soon to tell, we will have to wait and see what happens.

Calling the UC3 urethane is like calling Barney a dinosaur.

A lot of his hatred towards urethane comes around the purple hammer. The uc3 is much closer to a purple hammer than a pitch black or black hammer. I don’t think it’s a good look either way you want to look at it.

Agreed. I've thrown a ton of urethane over the years. UC3 (and Pitch Purple before it) is far from true urethane. It's fairly smooth like urethane, but it recovers so much better. It hooks a lot more. I'd say it's much closer to a strong, smooth reactive than urethane.

Dont you think the core plays alot into the reaction?  Everyone talks about the cover without mentioning the core and the UC2 is a backend beast.  So wouldnt you think the UC3 would be a good backend ball as well even though it is classified as a urethane?

I don't hate the UC3 or urethane, I have a UC3 and I throw a Purple Tank pretty much exclusively in league.  But come on, the UC3 is not a real urethane ball.

I wasnt implying it was.  I didnt say that it was real urethane.  I just said it was classified as such and that everyone seems to be excluding the cores affect on the ball reaction.

Urethane today is probably significantly different than in the 80s including cores.   However people forget that oil types, volumes used and pattern lengths are so much different that it makes comparison between balls of those eras useless.

No doubt it does, as I have both (and the original Rubicon). The UC3 is easily the strongest of the 3. I'd say it shapes similar to the Rubicon - maybe a bit smoother.

The thing is, I've thrown other urethanes with big cores in them (Hot Cell and Black Widow as examples) and this ball just continues more than any other urethane. It reminds me more of the microcell balls from Motiv - but it's stronger than all of those as well (I own all 3).

I have thrown the UC3 on short (practically unusable for me), medium and long sport patterns. It was best on the long for me. I have also thrown it on house shots at two different alleys. It's one of the strongest balls I own - in terms of overall hook.  I compared it to the Purple Tank and Purple Hammer. Both those hook a bunch, but you can see the difference in shape and continuation. You get to the point where moving left just doesn't work with those. I have yet to see that with the UC3. I've hooked it from 6th/7th arrow to the ditch and it's bounced back.

Therein lies my point.  The core is way stronger on the UC3 than the Purple Hammer.  The Purple Hammer is considered to be the benchmark urethane that the companies are trying to outperform.  There is a HUGE difference between a symmetric core with an RG of 2.6 and an asymmetric core with an RG of 2.48 not to mention the differentials are drastically different as well.  My feeling is that the Pink Widow Urethane is the response to the UC3. The UC3 is definitely going to be a game changer.

The Pink Widow Urethane is the response to demand for the Purple Widow Urethane that was released overseas only except for stock that Bowlersmart has gotten and sold

As noted, I have also owned big core urethane balls. Still have my Hot Cell. Not even close. Trust me, UC3 does not roll like a urethane, whether it's a pancake urethane or a big asym urethane.
