Hammer Envy Tour Bowling Ball

The Envy Tour is one of the most versatile balls on the market today. I've used it on sport, challenge, and recreational patterns, from 35' to 45' in length. Drilling for me is pin above bridge with a 40 degree VAL angle. It's pretty dull out of the box so don't base your opinion of the ball on the first couple of games. It settles in and becomes more of its true self shortly after. The shape is clean through the fronts, and it seems to see the friction at just the right point when it has its peak energy stored for maximum striking power. I'd say it's slightly more angular than smooth, but of course that depends on the layout and pattern. This is truly a must-have piece simply for the fact that it can be used across a variety of conditions. Its only area of challenge may be when urethane has caused dry heads and it may see the lane too soon. But otherwise, a terrific ball. Jeff Poholsky Brunswick Regional Staff

Talk about versatility this ball is it. If you had and liked the obsession tour then you’ll absolutely love this ball. Same core with an upgraded stronger cover. It tends to be the first ball out of my bag everywhere I go and sometimes it’s the only ball I’ll end up using or needing

As a big fan of the Obsession Tour, this new piece became an instant favorite! While the Envy was pretty aggressive on the lane, the Envy Tour gives that much smoother roll that we've come to expect from Tour releases. For me, the Envy Tour is slightly earlier than the Obsession Tour and a bit stronger down lane and soooooo versatile. Do not miss out on this ball!!

Another great ball comes back from any where

Great compliment to the Envy. Where the envy is an absolute hook monster the Envy tour is smoother and rounder shaped motion. Responsive to friction but not jumpy. Great middle of the bag piece. Can handle higher volumes of oil no problem. This is an absolutely great add to every tournament players bag.

The Envy Tour is a ball that should not be over looked. The Envy Solid coverstock wrapped around the original Obsession Tour core is a great combination, and provides you with a ball that has the same shape as the Obsession Tour with more responsiveness at the break point. This ball is very versatile and can be used on both house and sport patterns.

The Envy Tour is quickly becoming another favorite, that Hammer has released. Just like the Obsession Tour, the Envy Tour is a step up, in a very good way. The Envy Tour is a bit earlier and stronger off the spot. But, still controllable with plenty of energy and continuation.

The Hammer Envy Tour is so smooth and strong it has quickly become a staple in the bag. I was/am a big fan of the Obsession Tour and this is a very similar ball shape with just more of it. The Envy Tour picks up sooner but continues its drive down lane. I've adjusted the surface for a couple of patterns and it goes back and forth well. It will have some shine on it tonight for league & get nice and scuffed for Earl Anthony pattern this weekend. This is a must have piece.

This ball is sooo versatile. I immediately took the 1K cover to 4K so it wouldn't be so early and the envy tour went straight to a starter in my bag.

If you liked the Obsession Tour you are going to love the Envy Tour!!! This ball is very predictable and doesn’t quit when it gets to the pins. One of things that I didn’t like the Obsession Tour is it would tend to wiggle down lane and eventually I would start leaving flat 10’s. The Envy Tour allows me to move in and still get the ball to continue through the pins. I’m very impressed so far with it and can see me using this on a variety of patterns.
