Hammer is showing their new spare ball. It's called Muddy Girl Camo. Hopefully they show more soon.

They're doing the storm schedule then. 

They always did the low end stuff first..

EBI always does em all at once...

The strategy seems weird to me though. Wouldn't you want to put your best foot forward in order to let people know that they are still here and are going to continue to put out intriguing bowling equipment.

With in a year Hammer has released three spare balls, the Carbon Fiber, Hammerflage, Twisted, and now number 4 with this. Trust me I am a proud member of Hammer Nation, my main balls I roll every week are Hammer, but I want more than another spare ball! I do not own any of the ones listed. I am not going to pay $90 for a spare ball, I have a Storm Ice, and DV8 Glitter Gold for that. Plastic balls for a better price. The last plastic from Hammer I bought was a True Blood, have had it for 1 1/2 years now, and only use it for the toast, hooks a tad too much to use it as a spare ball. I hope they have something good planned for the future if not sad to say I may start looking at Roto Grip and Motiv to fill in with some new stuff. Haven't tried either yet but its looking that way.

Not to sound condescending, but hold your fire, man. This is only the 1st ball they have announced. This doesn't mean that it is the only ball they are putting out. Keep in mind that along with the Hammerflage and Twisted, they also put out the BW Legend and a new Spike.

So I doubt that the new spare ball will be the only thing coming out. They appear to be putting out the announcements in steps, so hold your fire, then judge on the entire body when they are all announced.

I've learned that patience is always key. Do I want to know all of there releases, yes. But it's not something that they want to release at the same time for their own business reasons.

But just because you are a Hammer Head doesn't mean if you don't like what they are currently offering, that you can't go try something else out. We aren't sponsored so we don't have any reasons to limit ourselves  ;D

Both points well taken. I know there will be more to come in the near future. I guess I went into a bit of a rant when I seen it was a spare ball, sorry about that EL3MCNEIL, I meant no disrespect to your original post!

I am just hoping for a heavy oil ball, and maybe a new benchmark ball.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I take every opportunity to slam EBI when I get the chance. With that said, the "changing of the guard" is coming as they have some GREAT stuff coming around the bend. Still reluctant of their covers being worth a damn though.

No disrespect taken.
We all want something, and when who we look to doesn't seem to get to what we want we get a little antzy. I'm in the same boat as you waiting for a heavy oil ball. If you haven't already, the Black Widow Legend is a good ball that may fit the bill for you for a benchmark ball. It may not be a textbook benchmark in some peoples eyes, but I find the ball to be extremely reliable and consistent. The B.W. Legend is the only reason I didn't get a Bad Intentions because I think that they overlapped a little too much.

IMO, the bad intentions is a very underrated ball, its a true heavy oiler
I wouldn't have anywhere to use such a beast, although with surface tweaks, its a maybe
the black widow legend should be a fair bit longer and sharper than the Bad Intentions
the BI is more rolly and arcing.
its asymmetric vs symmetric balls
i could easily see having having both in your bag

I do have a BWL and it's been great, the last couple outings has been giving me fits for the last couple weeks. I de oiled it and freshened up the surface, and am going to take it to practice in the morning. Will See how it does. I have thought lately about the Bad Intentions, almost picked one up. I got a Bad Ass last November at first I hated it, threw it a few times. Then one day at practice, had it in the bag was about to call it a day, decided to give it a shot. Rolled one last game and that thing came alive. After a little play with the surface, honestly right now that's one of my go to balls.

Dave, good name by the way, I think I am gonna pull the trigger on the  Bad Intention! Thank you for the input!

I rolled the BI at a Demo and I got that same feel, but for some reason I didn't feel comfortable having both. The B.W. Legend did seem to go longer but seemed like they both offered me some what the same look. I do like the ball though so I am always on the fence about getting one. I adjusted my surface of my B.W. Assassin to give me something that can handle a bit more oil so that was another reason I wasn't swayed too much into getting a BI. But now since the summer's right around the corner I will more than likely get a replacement or swap out the B.W. Assassin for something else and the Bad Intentions is once again on my radar. If I had more money I wouldn't be so picky will the balls I purchase lol.
