Post by: kakan on May 16, 2007, 02:03:25 PM
Hey everyone I was at a garage sale the other day and found this ball. Its 15 pounds and undrilled I figured for 5 bucks I can't go wrong. Anyway I cant seem to find any info on this ball was hopeing someone here could help me out.

Also you cant tell from the pictures but it's dark blue and sanded you can also see a pin next to the logo.

Thanks in advance

Looks like the ol' Navy Blue reactive (the "R" in the cg). Good medium/dry lane ball nowadays, nice find!

Yup, it's a Navy Reactive Hammer.  And yes it was the first reactive resin ball Hammer ever released.  I liked the Navy Hammer, and loved the next release, the Red Reactive hammer.
