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.

    Another Great Addition To Hammer Line Of Bowling Balls

    Posted by Kevin Nagasawa on Apr 27th 2025

    Hammer Has Been Outstanding Coming Out With This New Effect Line. After Purchasing A Original Effect I Knew The Ball Motion And Core I Just Had To Get The Effect Tour Solid To Add To My Bag. The Effect Is A Great Ball On The Fresh But Sometimes Just Doesnt Carry The Corners But By Drilling Up A Solid Version Of This Ball Definitely Get A Little More Backend Drive Through The Pins. This Ball Is Super Smooth Down Lane This Ball Is Very Versatile For Any Bowler Type And Rev Rate. With This Effect Tour Solid I Definitely Can Start Further To The Right With This Ball For A Few Games When Transition Hits Just Migrate Left On The Approach And Still Saves Energy And Drives Though The Pins. This Ball Is Definitely The First Ball Out Of My Bag And One Of My Benchmark Ball Options. Great Combination With This And Original Effect Once The Solid Burns Up A Little Energy Later On The Block Easily Able To Switch To The Original. Hammer Comes Out With Another Winner With The Effect Tour Solid Glad I Have This In My Bag Probably Gonna Drill Up Another One With A Different Layout! Always Remember Nothing Hits Like A Hammer! #Hammer #HammerBowling #NothingHitsLikeAHammer

    Effect Tour!

    Posted by Robert Mockenhaupt on Feb 18th 2025

    The new Hammer Effect Tour is here. Following up the Effect in the High Performance line is a “smoother”version of the 2024 ball of the year. This ball does not disappoint. Much like the popular Envy Tour, this one is about 2-3 more boards of more hook, which equates to more hold area. Given the hard hitting Huntsman Tour - lower differential core, and extra dynamics behind this one, there is expectation for optimal pin carry. This ball has a defined midlane to backend continuation towards the pocket that unleashes its power. This is definitely a ball for both league and tournament bowler on high to medium oil patterns. Pick one up today and strike away.

    Hammer Effect Tour

    Posted by Bob Newman on Dec 24th 2024

    Every bowler needs that ball that they can rely on to do damage without causing too much trouble. They usually have the word Tour somewhere in the name. Web Tour, Obsession Tour, Envy Tour, and now the Effect Tour. This is the strongest over all Tour ball I've seen yet but with that same controllable rounded shape. I would call it a high-end asymmetric benchmark ball. It has a similar look to the Envy Tour with a little bigger footprint. For me, it is 3-4 more with my feet. I definitely like what I've seen so far.

    EFFECT TOUR

    Posted by Brent Watson on Dec 24th 2024

    The new Effect Tour is the best "Tour" type bowling ball released. I think the Effect Tour is a combination of the obsession tour and Envy Tour lines. It is the most controllable, smoothest, and hard hitting tour ball I have thrown. The effect Tour works the best on sport shot conditions, however it rolls pretty well on house shots with heavier volumes. The Effect Tour takes surface adjustments very well. I went with a stronger layout at 55 x 4 x 30. This layout gives me more control on flatter patterns. Again, this is by far the best Tour ball Hammer has released.

    Very strong

    Posted by Bill Richardson on Dec 13th 2024

    The previous tour balls from Hammer were all great and very smooth options. This ball is that plus more powerful in my view. So far I've been able to play straighter or a bigger sweeping hook pretty easily. Drilled 60x4x40 and box surface it has not disappointed

    Hammer Effect To

    Posted by Joe Goldstein, Sr. on Dec 9th 2024

    The smooth reaction and predictability of Hammer's previous Tour balls have been fantastic and it keeps getting better. The Obsession Tour and the Envy Tour have had much proven success at every level. The new Effect Tour will continue this legacy and provide a smoother roll in the front part of the lane and an aggressive, yet controllable move off the spot. This piece is perfect for medium to heavy oil patterns.

    And When You Thought it Couldn’t Get Any Better!!!

    Posted by Bryan L. Williams, PBA member and DV8 Pro Staff on Nov 27th 2024

    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

    Posted by Yvette Ford - Hammer Staff on Nov 26th 2024

    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!
