The Hammer Four Density (4D) Core consists of four individual components, top flare ring, top cap, mid body and lower cap. All four-core parts are of different densities. The 4D-core body is placed in an offset position in the relation to the centerline of the ball. This is the ball’s drive mechanism. The Hammer HPT, for Hammer Particle Technology, is the latest development in Active cover materials. HPT is the production process where millions of tiny material particles are interspersed throughout the urethanes used in producing the ball’s cover. These material particles create the ball’s grab on the lane resulting in increased frictin, causing more hook than balls with today’s reactive or conventional urethane covers. The HPT cover creates a high rate of ball friction. Friction, combined with ball momentum, initiates the hook action while keeping the ball’s energy in check for devastating pin carry. The 4D core compliments the HPT cover, giving the ball drive and revs.

CORE INFORMATION The Hammer Four Density (4D) Core consists of four individual components, Top flare ring, top cap, mid-body and lower cap. All four core parts are of different densities.

COVERSTOCK The Hammer HPT, for Hammer Particle Technology, is the latest development in "ACTIVE" cover materials. HPT is the production process where millions of tiny material particles are interspersed throughout the Urethanes used in producing the ball's cover. These material particles create the ball's grab on the lane resulting in increased friction causing more hook than ball's with today's Reactive or Conventional Urethane covers. |

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION The HPT cover creates an Awesome amount of ball friction. Friction, combined with ball momentum, initiates the hook action while keeping the ball's energy "In Check" for devastating pin carry. The 4D core compliments the HPT cover, giving the ball Drive and Revs. It's Coast To Coast Hook, Baby!! |
MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS The Factory Finish of the 4D-HPT is a Dull Compound Matte Texture WB-700. To bring the ball close to original surface condition, it is recommended to use a coarse cutting/rubbing compound and significant pressure on a high speed ball spinner. Or use the red scotch brite pad on a resurfacing machine for 15 minutes. |

Let me begin by saying that Fab was one of my favorite companies, while it was Fab, and that I have loved almost every product that I've ever had from them. However, this was not the case with the 4DHPT. I read reviews of this ball for quite a long time before I got my hands on one. I bought one used from a gentleman over the net. This ball never would roll the same way twice, and did not offer the type of hit that most Hammers do. I have found that other "oil monsters" have given a lot more consistency and hit than this hammer ever did for me. The Angle Evolution Tour for example, rolled very heavy in the oil, and hit like a mack truck. This is what I expected the 4D to do, as most Hammers that I've owned have been very impressive. I don't know if it was the drilling that I was using, or the condition of the coverstock, but this ball let me down. I used it for about 30 games before I realized that it just wasn't for me. I know that others have found success with this bal
