Additional product information:

The new Hammer Effect is unlike any other; it is the first ball to be poured in four colors. The gorgeous appearance isn’t the only thing that will turn heads; the Hammer Effect’s clean and aggressive mid-lane and backend performance is unparalleled in the High Performance category. The Hammer Effect introduces a new core shape called Huntsman and has physical features that will remind you of other famous Hammer balls like the Vibe and Black Widow, creating optimum performance on the lanes. Along with the new core, we’ve upped our HK22 game with this new version that takes responsiveness to the next level. Once you see what the Hammer Effect does on the lanes, you’ll want HK22 – Cohesion Pearl to be used more and more.

    Hammer releases another winner

    Posted by Jeffrey Poholsky on Apr 16th 2024

    The Hammer Effect couples outstanding performance with attractive visual appeal. I've only thrown this ball a few sessions, but some pieces you can just tell are going to be special and this is one of them. It's quick off the spot and drives through the pins beautifully. Overall hook is in the medium range, but this ball seems to hook at the right time to allow predictability and ease of making adjustments. For me, there are better options on very slick patterns, but for medium volumes and lengths, including house patterns, it matches up well. I have it laid out at 55 x 5 x 35 and it's become my favorite pearl in my arsenal. The newly designed core is a perfect fit for this cover, Hammer has created a versatile ball with shape and continuation needed to perform on today's conditions.

    Best new ball of the year!

    Posted by Eric A. on Apr 15th 2024

    I have thrown the Effect on three different patterns, and I am loving this ball. Threw it on a house shot. I could miss left and not have the weak 10 or ring 10, when the ball never really picks up. This ball picks up! I also threw it on the 45’ Dick Weber and 43’ Earl Anthony. I get a great motion on both. I didn’t expect the motion I got on the Anthony. I am very impressed. Clean but not super skip-flip, just a good strong motion. Averaged over 230 on the Weber the first time I used the Effect in competition.

    Ball of the Year

    Posted by Mike Romero on Apr 13th 2024

    If you thought the Hammer Black Widow 3.0 or Track Theorem was the best ball of the year… WAIT until you get this In your bag! If you are looking for HOOK and POWER, then this ball is right for you!!! This ball is nothing short of amazing! At 60 x 5 x 30, this ball has length and lots of energy thru the pins! This ball is great out of the box, you can even do a light surface rub with a 3000 or 4000 pad and this ball gets even better!! It’s tournament season and this is a MUST!! Don’t wait! BALL OF THE YEAR!!

    The Hammer Effect

    Posted by Brent Watson on Apr 10th 2024

    The hype is real for the new Hammer Effect. I have thrown Hammer equipment for many years, and the Effect is completely different ball roll. The Effect is very clean, but revs up quickly and CONTINUES. The Huntsman core (combination of the Vibe core and Gask Mask) makes the Effect a one of kind ball roll. I went with 60 x 4.5 x 30, which is a little stronger pin. I will probably drill another one with a weaker pin. The effect will match up for a variety of lane conditions. It rolls awesome on league shots, just keep moving left. The effect also rolls very well on sport shots by controlling the pocket. This is one of the best ball motions from any bowling ball on the market. You will not be disappointed. Another great addition to the Hammer line up.

    Wow

    Posted by Bill Richardson on Apr 5th 2024

    Homerun for Hammer. This ball is soooo smooth but still continues through the pins with plenty of power. First time thrown after the pattern broke down there was no problem getting the Effect to the breakpoint. This is a must buy for benchmark of anything you need.

    Effect

    Posted by jkaseehammer on Apr 5th 2024

    I drilled my Effect with a 60 x 4 x 35 pin up layout. For me, this ball is so responsive off the end of the pattern. I can use it as a game one ball on medium patterns and has been a great step down ball from my Black Widow 3.0. It is clean through the fronts, like my black Widow 2.0 Hybrid, but it starts earlier and handles the oil better. I noticed on shots that I missed in, it would read and strike, where the 2.0 Hybrid would either leave a two pin or hopefully mix up a strike. I can see this ball being used by all styles of bowlers as well. I can see this ball being used by all different speeds and styles with surface changes. Another homerun by Hammer Bowling!

    WOW!!!! Hammer Effect

    Posted by David Meyer on Apr 4th 2024

    This ball is soooooo good. The Hammer Effect is very versatile and completely explosive on the back end and through the pins. I drilled mine 60 x 5 x 30 and the shape is impressive. This ball will be in the bag for quite some time. The Hammer Effect has amazing shelf appeal (4 color pour) and ever customer that has purchased one has done nothing but rave about the ball's performance. Don't sleep on this one and get to your local Pro Shop Operator and get yours!!!!!

    The Hammer Effect

    Posted by Yvette Ford on Apr 2nd 2024

    This ball is clean through the front part of the lane with an awesome backend reaction. Even when it encounters oil it continues through the pins. This ball is versatile so you can hit it with a pad to have it react a bit sooner so that it calms the back a bit, however, if you are looking for finish... this ball can reserve the power off the spot and through the pins and send them flying. This ball can be drilled for any type of Bowler and can be used in tournament and league conditions. The reaction is beautiful and the ball itself is Beautiful with the 4 colors. Nothing like a Beautiful piece of equipment sending the pins flying. Pick up The Hammer Effect today.

    Hammer Effect

    Posted by David Larson on Mar 31st 2024

    The first word that comes to mind to describe the new Hammer Effect is WOW!! The Hammer Effect is absolutely beautiful on the lane and off. It continues off the back end of the pattern and never slows down. It is much more ball than I expected out of a pearl. This ball has the new Hammer Huntsman core (best of the Widow and Vibe cores combined) and HK22 Cohesion pearl shell. With limited games thrown it has impressed me like no other. You can miss right and this ball will still recover and retain its energy and hit with power. The ball is extremely versatile on both oily and medium lane conditions. The hype surrounding this ball is real and worth becoming a major player in your bag.
