Yup, an original Blue Hammer. Old school urethane cover, will last forever, and it is a great training tool.

Once a ball for medium to oily conditions, it is today a ball for the lighter and shorter patterns. Most of them were drilled label, with the CG in the palm and the almost invisible pin at a 1:30 position (probably under the ring finger, for a good mid lane read and an overall smooth, controllable hook). A good piece, and still a force to reckon with, even though it is by today's means a rather weak ball.
