Hammer Purple Pearl Urethane Bowling Ball - Purple Pin

The Purple is the perfect addition to any arsenal that is looking for the control of urethane. The Purple is very controllable and hits hard when there is friction. I think this ball will perform best on shorter flatter patterns. This Ball is great for the tournament bowler!

Strong! Very strong but i like it

Layout 5.5x5x3. Pap 6 1/8 over by 1/8 up. Very high track player. Ball speed 15.5 to 16.5 at cameras so roughly 17 to 18 off the hand. This is my first experience throwing urethane. The purple ball is a must when you want to get it out in front of you and control the pocket. If you get it to the dry early you will see a long sweeping arc. If you play up the oil you will see it go straight all the way to the end of the pattern and then make a small but snappy move to the pocket. It is no substitute for a good reactive ball but when conditions bring this ball into play it just can't be beat. I have thrown it on fresh and on the burn. When there is little room for error this ball is the goat.

Thank you guys

The Hammer Purple Urethane is very strong for a urethane. If you were a fan of the original or just love Urethane than you need this ball. If your a tournament player you def need this ball in your bag. Great for shorter patterns and lighter oil. Most people I know I have two.

Stats: PAP 4 over ¾ up, 14.5 mph, 18 tilt, 275 revs. The Hammer Purple Urethane is designed for light to medium oil conditions and short patterns. This is my first urethane ball and I was not sure what to expect, but I have had the opportunity to use it a few times now and appreciate the different motion I get from it. Being an average rev player, I cannot move too far left with it, but when the shot allows for a more direct approach, you cannot beat this ball. I think lower rev players may find urethane less useful, but it could have its place on really dry lanes or with added surface. This ball will be in my tournament bag going forward.

Admittedly, I haven’t been able to throw a lot of urethane. Even though I am left-handed, my speed and rev rate doesn’t seem to typically match up to where urethane can be in play for me. This has changed, given the Purple Hammer. For me, this ball has the shape of a urethane ball but the look and power of a reactive resin ball. This ball will see a lot of action when the patterns are shorter – probably nothing longer than 38’ – and the volume is medium to heavy. This will help me get the ball down the lane, still retain some energy, and make a predictable move to the pocket. Recently, I competed in a PBA Regional on the Marshall Holman Pattern (38’), and I was able to play around the first arrow and get the ball to the pocket. The ball didn’t overreact, and the only time I had trouble with it was when I threw it through the breakpoint. This ball will be in my bag when traveling to tournaments and the upcoming league season when the lanes get a little over/under, and I’m looking for a piece to help me manage the pocket but still score. If you are a tournament bowler, you must have the Purple Hammer in your bag. There truly is something special about it.

The Purple Ball is BACK!!!! This ball has been my go to on short sport patterns! This has allowed me to control my angles and find the pocket! It is about 2-3 boards stronger than the original in my opinion! If you are the tournament bowler, this is a must have in your bag!

The best modern day urethane ball is back! I used a 60 x 4 x 10 layout on the ball, which put the pin above my ring finger. I have used it on our local house shot and on the chameleon oil pattern and it has the same shape as the original. The only difference I’ve noticed is that it picks up a little sooner and is about 2-3 boards stronger. This ball is a must have for any bowler!
