« on: May 16, 2007, 02:03:25 PM »
Hey everyone I was at a garage sale the other day and found this ball. Its 15 pounds and undrilled I figured for 5 bucks I can't go wrong. Anyway I cant seem to find any info on this ball was hopeing someone here could help me out.

Here a few pictures:







Also you cant tell from the pictures but it's dark blue and sanded you can also see a pin next to the logo.

Thanks in advance
Kakan.

Looks like the ol' Navy Blue reactive (the "R" in the cg). Good medium/dry lane ball nowadays, nice find!

Yup, it's a Navy Reactive Hammer.  And yes it was the first reactive resin ball Hammer ever released.  I liked the Navy Hammer, and loved the next release, the Red Reactive hammer.
