New old Hammer day!
« on: September 22, 2012, 11:15:58 AM »
This Red Razor urethane popped up for sale last weekend.  Worked out a deal and just got it today.  It's all drilled up and ready to go.  Got it from K&K in Vegas.  They have drilled a few balls for me at Nationals so they had my specs.  Can't wait to try it!

This ball has a huge core in it. Pushes down the lane pretty well for urethane but it will not get into a strong roll without alot of friction. I had one of these that i bought new from k&k about 7years ago on ebay. Good find.

I hope it gets down the lane and not too violent on the backend.  My Burgundy and Blue are both monsters.  I can't even throw any of my reactive stuff where I bowl...huge left turns!

Hello, does anyone have info on the ole' Pink Hammer. A buddy of mine has a 15lb NIB that he wants to get rid of and before I take it off his hands I'd like to get some info on the ball. Will it work well on today's conditions as a light oil ball?

Any info would be appreciated!

The Pink Hammer was their dry lane ball I'm pretty sure.  All the old Fab Hammers had the same 2 piece core just different covers.  I'd bet the Pink would work good on dry-med condtions.  You do have to learn how to throw them so they carry. 

This Razor is great on drier lanes.  Shot 603 with it last week, had to make a 10 board move in the last game.  Played deep inside with it.  Liking it so far.  Doesn't do much in oil, but drier high friction conditions its awesome.  Doesnt over-react on the dry.  It's about 5 boards weaker than my new Hammer Blue urethane.

The Pink Hammer is the best dry lane ball I've ever thrown and it doubles as a spare ball.  The urethane shell is incredibly hard and not easy to resurface, but polish it up and watch it go!

You won't like that Pink Hammer at all... I think your friend & I need to have a little chat! :-). Would be interested in trading him a NIB ball for that old ball. :-)
