AMP Features:
Power up your game with the new Hammer Amp! The Amp features our new PowerShot asymmetric core, designed to provide ultra-high mid-lane revolutions with a very defined breakpoint. Combine that with our new Overdrive Hybrid coverstock, and you’ve got one of the strongest rolling upper-mid price balls in the history of Hammer. The Amp is finished with Powerhouse® Clean n’ Sheen to give this ball a smooth looking matte finish.
Amp Specs (15 lbs):
RG 2.49
Differential .054
Mass Bias .013
Surface Finishing Process - 2 Stage Sanding Process
500 Abralon®, 1000 Abralon®, with Powerhouse® Clean n’ Sheen

Absolut Curve Features:
Tough look? Check. Aggressive Roll? Check. Devas-tating backend reaction? You bet. Absolut Curve has everything that Hammer bowlers want. With the combination of the new FatMax core shape and our H-150 Crosscover Reactive shell, the Absolut Curve gives Ham-mer bowlers the most angular mid-price ball from the Hammer line in years. Combine that with a tough looking black, orange, and yellow combination and you’ve got one unbelievable product.

Spike Features:
Hammer’s got a new way to attack the pin deck with the new Hammer Spike. The Spike uses a high RG, high Differential core system that gives Hammer bowlers a new look at conquering drier lanes. Combining this core with the Taboo Jet Black’s coverstock (GTRIII) in a hybrid version gives the Spike a long move through the front of the lane, with a controlled but aggressive down-lane move. Take control of your game on drier lanes and pound the pocket with the new Hammer Spike!

Nice! Any pictures yet?

I wonder if it will be a remake of the Faball Spike.
-
Saw a pic of the Spike stuff on Cliff Barnes' Pro Shop site. It just has an inverted Arson core basically.

More importantly, what's that black Vibe in your picture?
-
that is a International release... I hope that maybe in the future something like this ball will be available...
-
What's the details on the international vibe? I may try to get my hands on one...

I think the Wonders/Visionary own that core as the New Breed core was basically a tweak of it.
-
The Spike is using the Nasty core, which looks nearly exactly like the BW Nasty core.
So.. BW NAsty core, Hybrid Taboo Jet Black coverstock. Should be interesting to see..
I'm more interested in the Amp and how it would complement the First Blood.

is the new absolut curve a pearl or hybrid?
-
I've always been a hammerhead: but let's be honest, Utah has been putting out arguably the best stuff for the last couple of years.
I have a feeling these new releases are going to give Storm/Roto a run for their money
-
Hammer and Track have been my fav of the EBI four. Im sure the new releases are good but the logos and names seem a little off par from what Hammer has been doing the past few years.
-
just ordered the "Absolut Curve"...

I agree but so are marvel-s, hyroad pearl, and totally defiant. All of them sound over seas..

I watched the videos.
The Spike and Absolute curve look incredible for what my Eye is currently looking for.

Does anyone know if the absolut curve is a solid? Was planning on getting the columbia disruption but if this ball is a solid i will totally be getting this ball instead.
-
Yes, it is a brand new solid reactive coverstock on this ball.

Music to my ears! Thanks!
