Hammer 3-D Offset (WWRD 2/25/2022)
Does this ball sound familiar? The Hammer 3-D Offset has been brought up in conversations for years when people talk about great bowling balls. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 3-D Offset, Hammer bowling is offering new technology and outstanding performance to remind you of the ball motion but made for today’s conditions. Hammer started with the core shape, creating a single density inner core with the same shape as the original. The original was a thick-shell ball, and it’s been modified today’s version with a carbon fiber outer core. These modifications create more dynamic core numbers for increased ball motion potential and a durable, harder-hitting product. Hammer has also made this a D.O.T. ball which further increases durability and eliminates layout and drilling restrictions. The Blazing Violet color is almost identical to the original. The 12 & 13lbers have an alternate core but offers the same motion as the other weights.

Mine is a step up from my Scorpion. 965 out of the box with it for 4. Great reaction shape, might go up to 4k on the surface. It does pick up lane shine pretty quickly. I never had one of the originals, but I had a sledgehammer that I loved. This should be a great benchmark pice and I'm really curious to see one shiny.
