I have no complaint either with Hammer. I got three balls used from my coach all Hammer balls. Orginal Black Widow. I love that ball shot a 699 with it. I also have the Orginal No Mercy - though i didnt like it cause i didnt move much for me but probally due to the fact it was used and probally was on its last life. I also have Toxic great ball too.

I have the Black Widow Bite by Hammer , and that ball has been nothing but great for me. Of course I only have the one Hammer ball, but so far I love it. You need to maintain it,(clean it) but you need to maintain all your equipment regardless of the brand.

You guys this post started 6 years ago when Hammer was owned by FabBall. They did have some garbage back then. It is not like the quality stuff they have now.

Sorry,
Was not here, or even bowling 6 years ago.

I don't think the guys that started this post are around any more either.

Holy [censored] this thread is almost 7 years old?! How in the heck did it get resurrected?!

That was my thought Tim, why was this thing brought back from the dead? On the note of Hammer bowling balls, they do make some good bowling balls, but I've heard several bowlers and former and current Pro Shop operators talk about their longevity, or lack thereof.

LOL LMAO, Sorry Guys, It was me, I didn't even look at the date of when this topic was Posted. I had no idea this forum went back that far. I was just bored one night browsing through the topics and saw this one and Had to defend my ball company of choice :P

I guess the Hammer post was resurrected and came back to "BITE" us after 7 years! I like how the Black Widow Pearl looks, but I think I should have gotten one with a pin of 2-3 and a top weight of 3 (as opposed to the 1-2 pin and 2 tw I have now), because I'm not getting enough hook on the backend as I want.

That's the first thing that I noticed about this, the thread was started a long time ago. The very first post sounded kind of weird because Hammer has been producing some decent equipment lately.

I was actually bowling around the time this thread was started and I can remember that Hammer wasn't making great products back then. That was back when the Nighthawk line from AMF was big and my Choas came out. Also, Storm was making a lot of good balls back then but we didn't see anything significant from Hammer.
