Do you mean a Faball Hammer or an Ebonite Hammer?
My favorite Faball was the Red Reactive Hammer. I actually have one drilled, and another NIB at home.
As for Ebonite Hammer, I have only ever thrown the Blade, and didn't like it at all.

I havent thrown a Hammer since the original 3-D Offset. But my favorites were the Pink Hammer and the Nova Solid. Pink was one of the best dry lane balls ever.

The burgundy hammer was a great ball. I loved the SledgeHammer also.
--------------------
A half ten is not a great shot. No, you shouldn't have carried it.
-
My first ball O-O-bag is my Big Deal. I love it.
I had good success with the Sling Blade and the black PURE Hammer. I'm still working with the Doom and Black Widow.
Because it was my last 300, I'd have to say the Sling Blade.
As for the Faball era, it has to be the urethane Blue Hammer.

I'd have to say Blue Hammer all the way!!!
-
Without question it's a ball I still use on occasion---the original blue urethane hammer--the most consistent ball in recent memory

It's hard to choose which is the best ever since most bowling balls are very condition specific.
Here's my list of the best Hammer balls i've ever rolled.
1. DOOM
2. NO MERCY
3. HIGH REV 3-D OFF SET(FABAL)
4. PAIN
--------------------
HAMMER NO MERCY is Un-freaking real! Using this ball is like cheating!
-
I loved my original blue hammer pearl. I hear the red one was better but I didn't have that one so I can comment
-

Personal Favorites:
Blue Pearl Hammer - 1st 300
Purple Urethane Hammer - 1st 800
BIG BLUE Pearl- One of the best particle pearls! Still use it when they get tough, today.

Faball: Purple Urethane and the JackHammer.
Ebonite: Black Widow & No Mercy.

Faball- 3D High Rev
Hammer- Vicious Particle without a doubt!!!
-
No question in my mind. For its time, the original black Hammer and for a little kick in the pants the burgandy Hammer were the most popular FOR THEIR TIME!!!!!!
-
Got a 299 with Hawg Wild
Got many 700s with No Mercy
And I do believe that The Black Widow Pearl is going to out do them both. I have already scored 232, 247, 219, and 268 with it and those were my first five games! (the very first was 147 because we had to tweak the thumb a little)
So either one of these balls would be my pick! =)
--------------------
Crush them don't knock them down!!!
-
Faball - 3D - Offset Hammer (Violet)
Hammer - The Black Widow has obviously really done it and proven itself for Hammer and works for virtually everyone that throws it... so the Widow is my pick for Hammer thus far...
The Widow Pearl might surpass its predecessor however because it is just that good... but too early to say its the best

High Rev 3D offset and followed closely by the Raw Hammer Pain. 3D was one of the greatest balls I ever threw.
-
Faball= 3-D Offset Blazing Violet High Rev
Ebonite= Big Rig Diesel
Spike
-
I liked the 3D offset, but it got stolen and when I got a new one to replace it with the same specs (pin distance and top weight etc) it didn't react anywhere near the same, I came to find out that my origional was from the first batch and the second was a bad batch ball.
My favorite hammer of all time is one that I don't even own yet, and I am just basing this on what I have seen others do with it and that is the Black Widow, this is probably the best all around ball since the Ebonite V2, I will have one soon, oh yes I will.
-
All of the 3d offsets were GREAT, most amazing balls hammer ever made.
Although, my favorite hammer of all time is the SLEDGEHAMMER.

My favorite hammer is the Black Widow. The No Mercy is a good ball, too, no doubt, but mostly to strong for my game. I get the Black Widow pearl tomorrow; let`s see what it can do..

Let`s roll !

their is only one correct answer
1. Violet 3-D Offset
That ball lasts forever. I have a Black Widow and love it, but i doubt it we still be ripping racks in 10 years like the offset is doing.
2. Sledgehammer
3. Black Widow
4. Blue Pearl Urethane
--------------------
R.I.P. BIG ERN
-
For me :
1. Doom
2. 3-D Offset
3. RazorBlade
4. Blue hammer
5. Burgundy Hammer

It's a 3 way tie in my mind.....
Blue Hammer...yes the urethane one
or
3-D Offset Hi Rev
or
Crimson Sledgehammer
I mean think about it guys....when the Blue Hammer came out, EVERYBODY had one because it was THE best ball. Then came the 3-D High Rev....core design by Mo Pinel...again a must have. Then was the Crimson Sledgehammer...again core design by Mo Pinel.

I agree with NathanB...the blade pearl is an awesome ball. I currently have two drilled up, and one NIB. I also just bought a blade reactive and a blade pearl on ebay used.

Sorry, edited your post. Very true, I had one as well and every one will have the Hammer Anger next. The revival!!! It's the next Hammer ball!! but stronger

Aside from the obvious was there a difference between the Red and Blue urethane Hammers back in the day. Box finish appeared the same and I believe the cores were identical. Anyone with info. to confirm or deny?
-
The red was dull and the blue was a pearl.
Then Hammer (Fabal) released a red pearl after the blue pearl.

Nappy....the Pink, Blue Pearl, Red Pearl, Black, Red, Blue, Purple and Burgundy Hammers all had the same cores. The only difference was the coverstock.
The dull Red fit in between the Black and dull Blue in terms of hook potential. I have the balls listed above in order from least hook to most.

VRT, I was not referring to the Pearl Blue Hammer. I was asking the difference between the Red and Blue solids. I never mentioned anything about the Pearl.
-
My bad Nappy, the only difference that I can remember was the cover was different with the same core. Don't remember which cover was stronger between the red and blue solids.
Not only that there was no reason for you to reply since Doug answered your question...
