My question is on two of the older Hammers. If I like the solid blue so much, how will the blue urethane Hammer compare?
And what about the Maxxx 3D Offset? Was that also 2-piece construction? Urethane or reactive? What core did it use?
Thanks

Or, perhaps he speaks of the BIG BLUE (http://"http://www.ballreviews.com/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ManufacterID=18&BallID=471") Hammer?

Yep that could be BUT dougb said in his original post A few months ago I picked up a Faball Blue Hammer. that would mean Ebonite produced not Faball manufactured.

I guess we are confused as to your original post asking comparison to "My question is on two of the older Hammers. If I like the solid blue so much, how will the blue urethane Hammer compare?"
Can you state what you are wanting to compare the original Faball Blue Hammer to?

That's what I was thinking as well, after his reply.

Thanks for your patience, guys. My Blue Hammer is hands down my favorite ball. It''s drilled 1 o''clock label. The ball goes long and while it doesn''t move too much on the backend it hits HARD. I don''t know if it''s the solid shell or what but it drives harder through the pins than any of my new equipment. I can use it on pretty much anything except heavy oil and dry lanes.
I''m assuming the Blue Pearl (http://www.bowlingball.com/hammer-faball-1980-blue-pearl-hammer-by-faball-bowling-ball.html) will go longer and be better for light oil, but retain that same gentle arc.
As for the Maxx 3D Offset, I know nothing about these balls and would like to know more about the core and the cover (reactive? 2 or 3-piece construction?). I''m thinking this ball could cover heavy oil, building a complete arsenal around older Faball equipment!
Hope this helps, and thanks.
