Maybe Hammer changed the color from the 'Made In USA' ball and now is calling it the Blue Hammer.  But of course, the only ones that know of what specifics are is Hammer and maybe the people who are testing it at the moment.

I don't think it can be a direct replacement for the original blue hammer.

 The HAMMER name is now owned by a different company than the original, so this would be considered a "new" ball from them (as they were not the ones who originally made this), and I've heard that the specs of the coverstock on the old blue hammers would not be approved today, so no "new" ball with those specs could be made unless it was by the original company.

 

 It may be good, and it may be close (if its urethane), but it isn't a direct copy of the old originals.

Well, they do have the original hammer core....or one that is similar enough.  This could just be their "new" entry to take advantage of the urethane craze, even though they have said in the past that they wouldn't be releasing a urethane ball.
 
Of course they tried that back in 2004 with the Pure Hammer balls.

The shape is the same but the numbers are way off: much higher RG(2.57) and much lower differential (.032). 
 
The Black Pure Hammer was stated to be urethane/resin blend. The Red Pure Hammer was  stated to be pure resin, intended to emulate a urethane-like reaction (It didn't!).

Translation leaves something to be desired:
 
Competition associated with the development of each manufacturer's technical capabilities ●, concentrated in the high performance of the hammer's attention is now more frequently used in many games late, oil-free conditions and tough conditions There was a ball that is required.

?PBA Currently, oil and short tournament like the tough conditions and, PBA was the first member, who is also the world's top bowlers, and in many cases getting used like ordinary polyurethane balls. However, urethane balls, while excellent control performance and pin action it far less than the current mainstream Riakutibuboru is a fact of life. Therefore, the company hammers, the balls were used in the main such tough conditions, set out to develop advanced technology's high ball hammer poured.  This blue hammer, and contrary to the simple visual, and the latest technology, the latest cover stock material developed by other?Te unprecedented new concept yet, "urethane" Performance has been installed.

Ra? This new material, material-specific information appliances, while maintaining a soft pin action, the limit Ra (surface roughness) by lowering the value of a skid at the same time can result in excellent performance, a special additive mixed By, I successfully suppress the response of the dry zone feature of reactive materials.

RG
 This new technology, to modify, RG raising the value, reduce the value ΔRG, Baibukoa By matching the base stations increased the operability of high oil and not affected by the shade had a strong run, excellent pin action combining cutting-edge ball, Blue Hammer was born.
 
 
15800 yen is around $193.
