It's a turd.  I have one and it is pretty worthless.  I have it drilled pin above the bridge, and it just checks up and quits.  It's the deadly aim cover stock without one of the additives with the Vibe core.

What condition is it meant for, and what type reaction?

I'd only try to throw it on short.  Many many better ball options out there.

a lot of people dont realize that the vibe core is pretty strong. especially for a series of balls advertised as "hammers number one weapon for battling dry lanes" when the purple and blue vibe came out. i think the mistake these special edition vibes made was putting a cover that was strong on it. if you use a HP cover use one thats 2-3 years old.

But if it has a strong cover, and a fairly strong core why would you throw it one short oil?

I drilled mine pin above ring finger and I think the ball is great. Goes very long and turns the corner great! Which is perfect for my summer league considering the lanes dry up very quick.

LOL - It is funny how some people are... I am on staff with Hammer and I am pretty much straight forward on what pieces that I like & do not like in the brand (which works for me) and see other styles of bowlers throw the Hammer products.

For me this ENVY Vibe is impressive as it is a little stronger than the other Vibes, except for the XR (Smurf Blue) Vibe.... I had to pay for this ball like the rest of you, so I wanted to see this ball in my bag as I love the color and the motion this ball gives... It is a clean through the fronts like the Jet Black Vibe is, but rolls earlier than the JB Vibe... I then hit might with a 4000 abralon pad to give me the reaction that I was looking for in my arsenal.

This is really a great addition to any arsenal and the price is now back down to earth for bowlers to really enjoy this Rare piece (only 777 was made - still low)!

I drilled mine 85×4.5×45 and I love it. Used it for first time thursday and goes long with nice controlled move on back end and hitting power it excellent.

I too love mine.  Ive had just about every vibe thats been released.  Including the extra exclusive Peach vibe.  MAN i LOVED that BEAUTY... But switched weights (Plowboy, do u have my peach or was it someone else?). Anyways.  This green one is AMAZING.  i have it exactly the same as Plowboy had it.  Strongest aside from the Aqua Blue Vibe XR.  And about one to two feet earlier than my jet black.  I bought two, with plans on making somegood money, but waited way to long to sell the other. 

Just want my money back on it.  So if anyonewants this 15lb green Beauty. At the original cost of $139.99
Please pm me

Thanks
