Title: Any help Hammerheads?
Post by: TDC57 on January 06, 2007, 02:08:51 PM

I have two Raw Hammer Pains. How can I tell the when they were produced? One has USBC and serial numbers all in a row and the other has them in a small box shape with USBC on top? One of these balls I bought used and I'd like to know which is newer.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the one with the small box is the newer one. But like I said, I'm not sure.

I think crusher is right.  The one with the USBC logo right next to the serial # is the older one.

The longer, larger lettered serial number is older, where the Smaller boxed serial number is newer

All Hammer balls are produced in Hopkinsville, KY, and the logo with 2 lines in a small box is on the newer of the two balls.
