TECHNICAL INFORMATION CORE DESCRIPTION Hammer has modified their highly successful HD core by incorporating a third protrusion at a 45 degree angle to the center of the core body for increased core torque. Increasing core torque allows the Blue Hammer 2001 to exhibit a defined motion on the backend. Simply stated, more pocket entry angle yields more strikes. COVERSTOCK NYLOTHANE II is a blend of Faball's two newest Reactive Urethanes, glass beads and nylon. This improvement combines Nylothane's famous surface versatility with additional traction to further raise the industry standard for coverstock performance. Nylothane II is easily polished, scuffed or sanded to match the bowler's style and game to numerous lane conditions. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION The Blue Hammer 2001 will change the way you look at lane conditions. The medium R.G. (2.550) combined with a differential of .052 and increased core torque creates a strong backend motion. The versatility of the coverstock allows for surface preparation to match medium to oily lane conditions. |
MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS
The Factory Finish on the Blue Hammer 2001 is Factory polished from 800 matte. The Nylothane II
coverstock is easily polished or sanded using conventional methods. Once the bowler
has created optimal ball reaction we recommend the surface texture remain consistent through
periodic maintenance (wet sanding and/or polishing, etc...)

I was hoping Hammer had created a reactive ball in the genre of the blue urethane but I was wrong. I am not a big fan of sanding a factory finished ball, so I had it polished more. It hits hard but it has a tendecy to finish too strong on a medium oil condition and comes strong behind the head pin leaving the corners often. I would recommend this ball if you can get it cheap but not Hammers best effort. Unlike its brother the Black 2001 it did not quit carrying altogether. Keep it polished on oil but don't overthrow it.

I bought this ball about 1 1/2 years ago when it was fresh to the market. If you remember, it was billed as the most versatile ball on the market at that time. This ball won't even wrinkle on heavy oil unless you back off your speed and crank it hard. It comes polished up from the factory and will slide through the break point even on lighter conditions; Decided to hit it with a scotchbrite and all this did was flatten out the backend w/o providing any midlane roll. Next up we spun it with 400 grit and ball would roll out off of your hand. I gave this ball a 5 pin rating because, with the scotchbrite finish, it would hold a tight line down 10 with better than average carry... ... plus it's still better than a houseball.<scri
