Hammer NU 2.0 Bowling Ball

So, I absolutely love this ball. I still use my Hammer NU Blue at a high glosh polish and it crushed the pocket too. The cover stock gets dirty much quick. On the original though. The NU 2.0 Picks up modlane, holds the line nice and smooth and drives thru the pins with serious power. Absolutely love it, can use it on fresh and transition, once it gets dry.... I will ball down to the Blue NU, which polished becomes very angular and drives hard. All in all very happy with the NU 2.0, there is a significant difference in ball motion. Etsen the original and the NU 2.0. .

This ball is awesome. Very versatile...sanded to 800 grit used on 47 foot sport pattern shot 210 ... changed surface to 3000 grit next house shot league night rolled 706 same ball 3 games... drilled pin up strong . Great ball

doesn't work for me. Goes into my garage with the other duds.

Here is my take on the new Hammer NU 2.0. The Hammer features the high RG/low diff LED symmetric core wrapped by the NU Active coverstock colored in matte gray. Box finish is 2000 Siaair. This video is shot on fresh THS and the layout on the ball is 0 x 4 x 15. I tried the ball at box surface. The Hammer NU 2.0 is the latest release in providing bowlers with a "urethanesque", slow response type of motion but still not being an actual urethane ball and thus, subject to seemingly very confusing and ever changing rules and regulations depending on where and what event a bowler is participating. The intent in the 2.0 was to provide a little more overall hook than the original Hammer NU. I can't give an actual side by side comparison because I drilled this NU 2.0 differently than the original Hammer NUs. That being said, to my eye, it does show a little more overall motion than the original NU. At box surface, it definitely gets through the front easily and makes a very gradual rounded move off the spot. I felt personally speaking for my game only, at box surface, I was bit "in between" if you will. By that I mean, for this type of shape, I want to see the ball pick up a touch earlier. If I am seeing this distance that the NU 2.0 at box surface is showing, then I want to see a quicker response and more shape to make sure the ball faces the pins correctly. I believe that with a more aggressive surface prep, perhaps at 800 or 1000 Siaair, I'll see that earlier zone better and thus the move off the spot will match up to the pocket better. I'll be trying that very soon and feel confident that with a more aggressive surface prep, the NU 2.0 will be a nice addition to the arsenal. The Hammer NU 2.0 is readily available.
