Some new hammer ball is coming out and apparently only through Bowlers Mart.

NBT Solid coverstock . Sounds like a must have ball. I was a huge fan of the First Blood.
Can anyone help me out here?!?! i need to get my hands on this

It gives the option under comments during checkout to add pin and tw options. As far as price I'd say $129shipped is very fair. Considering people were spending $170 plus on the black vibe on ebay this should do the same.

Is this 333 total or per ball weight?

already sold out the 15's and 16's.... while smart on Bowler's Mart, this was extremely dumb on the part of hammer. Why make the ball rare and sell so few when you could mass produce and probably top all your sales for the year. That's bad business. No wonder they're not selling well.

If they thought it was a guaranteed money maker, they would have done it already.

Hammer is dumb if they don't bring back the vibe line.  Really dumb.  It will sell if they actually market it.  It won't sell if they don't hype it.  It's up to them.

Would this ball overlap my Track 300c Solid?

The vibe series will be gone and replaced with the exact same style product at the same price point. 

Why complain about a slightly different core, new name, and the continued use of hand me down covers from the popular higher end bowling balls into a lower price point?

All companies revamp a series. I am a big Brunswick guy and they did it with the Power Groove, to the Slingshot, to the new Strike King. I am always happy to see how they further something.

I guess unless you think Hammer doesn't know how to revamp a product line or make the vibe series better , then I guess that could be a concern

No ability to order TW or pin distance on-line...most would pass I'd think.  $130/ea is a bit steep IMO.  Vibes can be still had and other pieces that have the same ball motion and total hook for $90 - $95.
