Title: Old Hammer Balls
Post by: The_Hammer_Booth on August 06, 2011, 06:20:22 AM
Searching around on EBay today and found some old gems:
 
15lb Razor Blade : http://cgi.ebay.com/170678335153#ht_1594wt_952
 
16lb High Rev: http://cgi.ebay.com/170678042008#ht_1166wt_1254 
 
15lb Ebonite Bud Ball: http://cgi.ebay.com/170678040793#ht_994wt_905 
 
15lb High Rev: http://cgi.ebay.com/170677837116#ht_1122wt_1254 
 
16lb Psycho: http://cgi.ebay.com/170678049439#ht_1166wt_1254 
 
All these old balls got us thinking. Is there a ball that if you saw NIB on EBay you would HAVE to buy?

 I was very tempted by the NIB Sledgehammer that sold on eBay awhile back.

There are a very select few that, if the money is available to me at that time, I would try to buy.

The Burgundy Pure Hammer was reactive resin.
The Black Pure hammer was a urethane/resin blend.
(FYI That info is straight from Hammer, not from me. I'm just passing it on.)

A NIB black Pure Hammer would be tempting, it is one of the best/versatile balls I had so far, it would be one of the very few items I'd consider for stashing away.

 

Other pieces I'd like to try NIB are an original Blade and a Vicious Attack from Hammer, a Trauma from Storm and a Danger Zone from Brunswick.

I would buy a NIB No Mercy Beat'N. The ball was awesome and the heart core is great.

Personally, I loved the Blade series. If I saw a saw, switch, or sling blade, I'd jump on it! I also loved that old Nail as well. That was a piece I could play on some medium dry with. The Claw wasn't too shabby either.

Have to have? No. Want to have? Sure!
 
Pre Ebo buyout, give me a nib Burgundy, Sledgehammer, 4D Particle, and a Spike.
 
Post Ebo, I would take another Vicious, and one of the Blades. Never tried one, but would have liked to.
