Hammer Envy Tour Bowling Ball

I really like my Obsession Tour. The Envy Tour gives me the same motion, but more of it. The little extra turns a would be flat 10 into a strike. But there is not over jump off the spot. A very controllable reaction exactly what you would expect from a “Tour” version. I have had a good look on both house shots and PBA patterns. Being a tweener, I was very impressed on how well the Envy Tour worked when I had to play way left. I was not expecting it to go through the pins as well as it did. It gives me a different motion that anything other ball I have.

This is a perfect combination of core and coverstock. The Envy Tour is just what is needed in addition to the Obsession Tour. This ball has a stronger move off the spot with a hard and continuous hit through the pins. Nothing like a Black Ball ! The Color with the purple Logo/Name is just gives it an extra good look going down the lane. It is smooth and definitely a great benchmark piece. This is a great tournament or league ball. Very controllable with alot of hit and continuation.

Hammer and Brunswick Family are on fire lately! The Hammer Envy Tour is another ball that is a must have! If you loved the Obsession Tour, you will love the Envy Tour. It has that extra hook that you did not have with the Obsession Tour. Where you may have changed balls from the Obsession Tour because it could no longer kick out that 10-pin, look no further then the Envy Tour. This ball has provide a lot of versatility and allows me to open up the lanes a bit more than what I did with the Obsession Tour without losing performance! Plus, its a Black Ball!! You know any black ball is a must have! :)

I was super excited about this release because the Obsession Tour has been my favorite ball over the past year. I drilled it the same way, DOT (pin) in the ring finger, the MB just to the right of my thumb, and the Envy Tour didn’t disappoint. It has the same smooth and controlled down lane motion, but it’s at least 3 boards stronger than the Obsession Tour. The only negative is that it’s too much ball, with the box surface, for my lighter oil league shot.

I already know just from game 1 that this ball will get a lot of play from me! I loved the Obsession Tour and this ball is a great follow-up. Ball does come out with a lot of surface, but will sheen up quickly. If you’re a low rev player, you may want to keep the surface like me to sheen up. A higher rev player may adjust the surface immediately. My layout was a pin down layout of 30 x 4 1/2 x 50. Smooth reaction with great length as well. This one is gonna be a killer on the shelves! Who doesn’t like black bowling balls?!

The Obsession Tour is one of my all time favorite balls. The Envy Tour has the same shape as the Obsession Tour, but with the Envy cover, it picks up bit earlier. The black cover and dark purple logos are also a win for me. Just like the Obsession Tour, the Envy Tour helps control the flatter sport patterns, but at the same time, can open up the house patterns. The versatility of this ball definitely helps when you need to limit the number of balls you bring to a tournament or want to bring in fewer balls into league.
