Faball Purple Hammer Bowling Ball

Another great choice if one chooses to carry "only one ball." A controllable hard hitting ball that goes exactly where one throws it with a consistent, smooth, predictable arc. It serves equally well as a strike or a spare ball. IMO, if not the same, this ball rolls extremely close to the Blue Hammer. If there is any difference at all, it is a very subtle one. The Purple may go slightly "longer" than the Blue(?). According to lane conditions, it can cross-boards or be thrown down-and-in + anywhere in between. This ball will keep one close even when it is not the ideal and/or first choice for the conditions. However, in order to use this ball effectively, one must be able to control and vary speed. Like the Blue Hammer, this is perhaps one of the most versatile, hard hitting balls ever made.

This ball was drilled axis-leveraged for me when I bought it and it really worked well on most conditions. After I adjusted the span, I failed to correct the drilling for the adjustment and it sort of killed the ball. It was a strong ball for a cranker and I wish I had more time with it than I did. Hitting power was never in question because it was a Hammer and they never failed to blow the pocket. Being ignorant at the time caused that. Overall, I'd say it was a good ball that got caught between the blue and the burgandy.

Man O Man this was truely a great investment for me! I bought it of a friend who never used it. Fresh out of the box this ball killed the other balls in my arsenal. It really hits hard and carries through the pocket as well if not better than it's Reactive counterparts. I use this ball even today. What a glorious find. I really can not think of anything negative about this beauty. I like to use it when my reactives are not acting the way they should due to lane conditions. Awesome ball once again. Thank you Hammer.
