that doesnt get old, they are always releasing new balls that they claim most aggressive, biggest backend, more length...its a cliche

In my opinion it looks awesome and will probably be a big seller from the appearance alone. You can't mistake it for anything else. I was able to snap a pic with my cellphone and will upload as soon as i can.

Post by: gtkpr31 on March 08, 2009, 04:52:59 PM: I've seen it thrown, it's fairly aggressive...not as much ball as the sauce though by any means...but it's not readily available to all people, only members of the TNBA. It's funny that members of the former negro bowler's association can get a ball that's all white called the chalk! haha

Post by: Moon57 on March 09, 2009, 08:11:01 AM: I would think that the ball is a close remake of something else in Hammers line. The TNBA site says it has 30,000 members. The Chalk can only be sold to TNBA members. It seems to me that this is a small group of people to develop a whole new ball for. Maybe the TNBA contracted with Hammer to make this ball as a way to increase their membership. Could be a good move.
