Heya Gang.... Just trying to drum up some interests on what you would like to see from Hammer in the future! What do you want to see from our brand?
-
Fat Max or new symmetric core with violent flip pearl cover? I dont think I could pass that up.
But get rid of the Absolut name and don't use a toolbox name (wrench, nail..etc). Go with something like the Arson or Blood names.
Bring us the "Knight" series. I can see quite a few versions
-
Return of the low flare gas mask core (Big Blue series).
Black Widow Low Flare?
-
yes, lower flare, medium rg, mildly asymmetric, but medium-strong cover for fresh oil......mmmmmmm.
-
I'll pull in my reply to this from the HammerBowling.com forums.
Hmm.. Question: how are sales of the spare balls going? I mean, the only options currently available without going overseas are the Taboo Spare and True Blood. Perhaps another one in the works with the Dead Center Core?
Or how about a stronger urethane piece? Good strong urethane cover, First Blood, Powershot, or Fatmax core? I don't know if the Vibe core did the New Blue Hammer justice, as people may have just simply seen it as a urethane Vibe.

A pearl particle would be cool
-
More Carbon Fiber balls
-
keep making VIBES
-
white chalk with the jigsaw weight block?
-
A re-release of the Black Widow would be awesome ;)

With Carbon Fiber!
-
more asymmetrical balls with a higher intermediate differential than the barely 0.008- 0.010 that they release. it may make it easier to manufacture a line of balls but it also makes it so that they overlap too much.
-
i want to see them not sell out to a guy who gets limited batches made.
-
High RG high diff solid coverstock ball. A new and improved version of the black widow nasty.
-
Low Revs - You might want to check out the Spike from Hammer (Released last year) - http://www.hammerbowling.com/products/balls/spike
This has the same core as the Nasty, but with a Hybrid Jet Black cover. This might be what you are looking for.
Noturcuzin - Looking for a Black Widow replacement, you might want to check out the Black Widow Assassin. This is a very versatile ball like the original Black Widow was back in the day.
I too, am hoping for more Carbon Fiber cores in future releases! Stay tuned, gang...

One word vibes!
-
Love the vibes answer. But this can be summed up easily. Less balls in the line, Hammer has become notorious to have so many (my opinion to many) balls in the line. It gets the average person confused I feel.
-
I would love to see a remake of the Pink Hammer.
Very hard shell (urethane or resin), medium RG, low diff.
Sometimes bowl on old scorched wood lanes, I think the "pinky" would work quite nicely for me. :)
-
i just wish they would keep making vibes. i would go so far to say they are in the top 3-4 ball series of all time.
-
I agree vibes are the beesknees
-
Been having great success with a Cobalt Vibe. If they are smart they bring out something else with that core.
-
The 3-D Offset IS my favorite Hammer ball of all time, though I doubt Hammer could replicate the core of that ball in a solid version.
Also, a flash back to the old Blade series. Back in the day.......I remember carrying an arsenal of several different Messengers and several different Blades. The Saw Blade, the Switch Blade and others and these balls were all very, very useful.
A ball with a similar reaction to that series of balls would be worth my while.

found this one overseas yesterday. If we are lucky, this may make an appearance at the Booth in Reno (though I doubt it)..

Deep Purple Vibe = House Shot monster. I would probably buy at least 2 of those
-
I want one!!!

Used my discontinued Cobalt Vibe a lot in Vegas and Reno over the past two weeks. Definitely more than a house shot ball.
