Title: The New Hammer Ball
Post by: LanemasterLefty on September 12, 2008, 10:02:16 AM: Does anyone have any details ? All that the Hammer rep told my ball driller was that it would be released in later October, be a heavy oiler, and be EXPENSIVE. He said the hammer rep told him that his (my ball driller) cost would be about 20 bucks more than his other high end stuff...

I was just wondering if anyone knew of the name or any other info..

The Hazard has already been released, it wasn't what Hammer was looking for, so it ended up being released under the radar as a "limited edition" sort of ball.

Post by: LanemasterLefty on September 12, 2008, 09:26:13 PM: Yeah, apparently the hammer rep said it is "Top Secret" for now, but will be released in late october... Gotta love marketing techniques...

just curious if any of you hammer staffers know of this ?

Post by: chitown on September 12, 2008, 09:44:54 PM: 20 dollars more than the other high end Hammer equipment? Why buy it? Heck one of the best Hammer balls i've ever rolled was the cheap Blue Vibe!

Post by: streamline on September 12, 2008, 10:39:05 PM: Maybe he meant 20 dollars higher than the widow line hammer has now, putting it roughly at the same as the NV's and the Rising line?

I don't know, it will be interesting to see what it is but I'm just sad to say I really could careless about oil balls, i've got a cell that rarely gets used.

Well, no its not actually, the No Mercy line is done and has been stated, the Whup'n release was a while back oversea's, its not the new high end ball.

Post by: LanemasterLefty on September 12, 2008, 11:04:40 PM: Doubt is is the whupin.. Word on the street is that it is a new core design.. But again, anything above and beyond that is just a WAG.

I was in the shop when the rep was there...He didn't know the name.
Just said it was high-end and expensive.

I can see your point, but to many people I know, mainly that are strokers, find that the bite isn't strong enough for oil for them unless they really dull the ball down, which really isn't an issue, but some people think a dull ball is a dull ball and just want something stronger than having to adjust it.

Though I have personally not found a condition that my bite would work on at 1k abralon, I have to keep mine with a weaker layout at 4k abralon dull and hope to find enough oil or polish it and have it hook like hell on the backend requiring a longer pattern or a whole lot of volume to find use for it.

Post by: Stormkid84 on September 13, 2008, 08:18:43 PM: The only thing I have heard is Hammer is releasing a ball called the Sauce. Don't have any other info than that.
Title: Re: The New Hammer Ball
Post by: BShep on September 13, 2008, 09:38:34 PM: It says in the newest pro shop magazine that Ebonite puts out that things are going to get messy. Makes sense if it's the Sauce.

Title: Re: The New Hammer Ball
Post by: pegleg42090 on September 13, 2008, 11:53:59 PM: I think Fear Factor is better than the Sauce lol!

Post by: MTD300 on September 23, 2008, 11:14:45 AM: How is it expensive?! It's going to be the same price as every other top line ball on the market.

This is what the Hammer range needs...colour and name dont matter =)
