Title: If you could choose...
Post by: Matt Fortney on October 20, 2007, 02:44:12 PM
What Hammer's next release would be, what would it be? Existing core? Existing cover? New core/cover? What line? Colors? Name?

For me, I'd have to say go with a Pearl version of the Beat'n cover...Maybe bright blue and black pearl. That's be great...

If it were up to you...what would Hammer's next release be?

NVS cover and Beat'n core that ball would make a dead left turn at breakpoint.

A dark green particle pearl ( the cover from the pearl smashtime would be nice ) with the toxic weightblock and a flip cap on top called the ENVY. ( and yes, this is a play off the name NV )

  Pearl and higher RG to get it through the heads clean, toxic wieghtblock and medium cover to read the mids, particles to cut through carrydown, and a flipblock to add that little "POP" to the backends.

Violent Response Reactive w/Traction Pearl and the Toxic core, maybe a light blue with green and red pattern of some sorts.

While we're dreaming, bring back the Tuff but a different color.

I would pick a particle cover on the Doom/Pain core.

Something to fit between the Doom and Toxic.

I want them to bring back the diesel reactive pearl IMHO one of the best hammers ever made

Bowling on the right side of lane is making bowling fun again and is making me think, I am going to be such a better bowler once I can bowl on the left side again!!

Hammer definitively needs a tame ball, for light to dry conditions. I'd love to see a true(!) urethane with a dynamic core re-introduced, e. g. a polished pearl for true dry lanes or a sanded solid for lighter conditions, with the Raw Hammer core. I'd see it as a more arcing alternative to the Vibes and to fill a market gap that has been left open from the discontinued Slate Blue Gargoyle

Another thing I wonder is how much difference a flip cap on the Raw Hammer series core would make. That would be interesting. You guys are right though, the need for a light oil ball is definitely there.

I've already sent emails to the Hammer staff, but I'd like them to made another Black Widow ball, but call it "Brown Recluse" with a predominately brown color with a tad of white pearl and use basically the same logo but change up the spider design with the lettering across it. Performance wise they should use the same more or less cover stock on the Widow solid but change the top of the gas mask core to make it rev up sooner then the Black Widow, jolt on the reaction and set.

????? I think the Doom and Toxic are flippy enough. But it would be interesting to see.

On the Hammer bowling website forums there was once a discussion that a "brown recluse" was actually in the works, but it differed from your idea in that it was the regular gas mask core with a particle coverstock...

Bring back the following original Faball releases:

Blue Hammer
Black Hammer
Red Pearl Hammer

I'd buy a Black hammer in an instant

I still have mine that I bought in 1991 (it's old enough to drive now )

I saw some good ideas...but can they really do much better than what they have?

That Black Widow is astounding!  The anger...sweet.
The No Mercy a different type of strong.

The Vibes not so much in my eyes but many love them.

The original Red Pearl Hammer - the one with the Hammer/Blade core, not the pan cake remake - would be nice. Or just an update with a RAW or Vibe core...

This is actually not my own suggestion, but a pretty sweet one:

The gas mask core (with flip block) on the Max Hook Reactive cover (anger coverstock).

Post by: Djarum on October 26, 2007, 10:48:28 AM
I'd like to see something that has a symm core that has the lenght the doom has but with more backend. That, or a particle pearl.

i would wrap a gas mask core in a solid urethane cover, it would make a tunable ball for mid light to dry

Yes that's another ball I would love to see.  I don't know why the No Mercy Violent wasn't released here in the states.

If they put a flip cap on the TOXIC/ANGER core the ball would flip so hard it would do a U-turn and come back to you.
