Sauce - Orange Vibe - Tough - New Hammer releases
« on: May 30, 2019, 12:12:32 PM »
Already on the Hammer website. As a loyal Hammer guy, I am quite frankly uninspired by these. The Sauce, essentially a retread from 15 years ago with a new cover, a new color on the existing Vibe line, and a new plastic ball (the Tough is plastic).

Oh well. I stockpiled Scandals and will continue to drill them. Statement solid is still rolling very well also.

As much as it seems like Hammer produces a ball a month, it really hasn't been that way. The Sauce is not a full retread and is replacing the Scandal/S in the Line. The Vibes do pretty well actually and are only hurt by the Urethanes. The Orange is just an opportunity to update the line as we head into the summer months. The Tough will be a mixture of Urethane and Polyester, making it hard to chip or crack as well as giving you guys the 3 year warranty on higher performance balls.

The releases are more of need than Flash. We've updated the HP line with the Statements, have great UMP Asyms in the Widows, MP and Lower MP with Webs and Flawless and not forget BOY candidate in Rhodman Pearl, Vibes have been pretty good. Just I guess needed a revamp of the Upper Mid Sym category and we get it with the Sauce.

C300 had the Classic U however it wasn't a stamped U-Dot. Besides that there Still as the Black and Purple Hammer Urethanes which are STILL our biggest sellers. Hammer is the biggest seller so youll see the most releases from Hammer as they sponsor multiple events and organizations.

Of course Track will never really be Track without Phil.

More to the point though it seems inexcusable for C300 to not have any U-Dots (or urethane period) now that urethane is a big thing again.

Didn't C300 reproduce the solid and pearl U2 a couple of years ago? Is it still in production or did they just do that for flash and sent it back to the archives?

I don't remember a true remake (not that their remakes are remakes). There's The Classic U2 which is solid urethane with a Resurgence core, but everyone bought the Blue Hammer instead and the Classic got discoed quickly.

I have one, redrilled it from something like 3.875x45 to 5.5x80 because a. I wanted something that could make 10 pins and b. if I tried it on drier parts of the lane it just rolled immediately. Probably no surprise given a 2.46 Rg plus urethane.
