Additional product information:
The new Hammer was the first to bring you the sought-after ball reaction created by a low RG and low differential asymmetric bowling ball. Obsession Tour and Envy Tour started it all, and now Hammer is excited to offer the same unbeatable concept, upgraded with the Effect’s core body. Eliminating the Radial Disc from the bottom of the Huntsman core lowered the differential and intermediate differential, creating optimum numbers worthy of being Hammer’s next tour ball. We’ve returned to the Tour covers, using TourV3 Solid, helping the Effect Tour combat medium conditions and creating a predictable, smooth, and continuous ball motion.

And When You Thought it Couldn’t Get Any Better!!!
The new Hammer Effect Tour is the solid Hammer Effect we’ve been waiting for! The new Hammer Effect Tour has the successful new Huntsman core but has eliminated the Radial Disc which is found in the original Hammer Effect, which lowered the differential and intermediate differential. Hammer infused this ball with the Tour cover, TourV3 Solid, creating a ball shape and motion that will catch the attention of any bowler at all levels. Any of the Hammer Tour balls have been incredible predictable and successful. The new Hammer Effect Tour carries on that known predictability and consistency known in the Tour bowling balls. The Hammer Effect Tour moves much sooner in the midlanes and is much more responsive off the friction. Like the original Hammer Effect, you can miss right with this ball, and it still recovers and retain its energy and hitting power. I put a 55x4.5x35 layout in this ball to create more length and backend to provide a more aggressive ball reaction off the spot. I absolutely love the Hammer Effect and now the Effect Tour is a ball that will always be in my bag because of its versatility and predictability on both oily and medium lane conditions. Keel believing the hype about the Hammer Effect and now the Effect Tour because everything you are hearing is true. The new Hammer Effect Tour is once again going to change the game of bowling and is available in your local pro shop!

Hammer Effect Tour - Great Solid
The Hammer Effect tour is a smooth Solid with a great backend motion and hits like a ton of bricks. This will be a good league or tournament addition to your bag. If you like something that can smooth the pattern out with a great motion towards the pocket this ball will not disappoint. Plan on getting another soon!

Hammer Effect Tour Review
Hammer Effect Tour Review Stats: Speed – 17.0; RPM – 335; AT – 19; AR – 55 Layout: 45 x 5” x 40 Hammer’s newest Top Shelf launch, the Effect Tour, is a newly engineered, solid tour version of the original Effect featuring several improvements that should surely get lots of attention. Eliminating the Radial Disc from the bottom of the Huntsman core lowered the differential and intermediate differential, creating optimum numbers worthy of being Hammer’s next tour ball. I chose the layout I did to get the ball to roll forward a little sooner due to my higher tilt, but transition a bit slower to really utilize that longer, stronger roll phase of ball motion. I have used it on a couple of different patterns and here is my assessment: 42 ft. THS (typical house shot): The Effect Tour has been a very good ball for the house shot in two centers I frequent. What I love about this ball is that it chews through the oil, makes a defined move off the spot, but is still predictable enough to control from shot to shot. Very versatile to cover changes, I took mine from box finish, down to 1000 and back up to 3000, and it responds to all of those very well. If you are seeing too much early hook, take the cover up to 4000, too much length, just sand it to 1000 or even 500, it takes to those changes extremely well! Do not be afraid to adjust the surface to your game, this ball can handle it! 45 ft. Weber pattern: I just rolled on this pattern a few days ago, and the Effect Tour was the best ball in my bag on the fresh. Projection and speed control are key, and the Effect Tour at 2000 was the perfect matchup. It rolled forward perfectly and hit heavy through the pins, carrying the off pocket hits extremely well. As the four game block progressed, I was able to move further inside, roll the ball firm off my hand, and it saw the friction consistently, making my moves easier and more trustworthy, resulting in higher scores and more confidence in the ball. If you are looking for that “benchmark” ball reaction from a high end asymmetric, with just a slightly lower diff. to help on those tricky sport patterns, look no further than the Hammer Effect Tour. Available to order now from Bowler Builders Pro Shops! Nothing hits like a Hammer!

Hammer Effect Tour
The Hammer Effect Tour is going to turn some heads. It will be a bench mark ball for most tournament players and league bowlers. The TourV3 Solid coverstock wrapped around the huntsman tour core is a great combination. The ball is smooth through the mids and drives through the pin deck. You'll want to get one fast!
