Additional product information:
Often imitated and never duplicated... this is the famous Purple Pearl Urethane, and it’s finally back in the Hammer line.
Some skeptics said we couldn’t make a Black Widow, and it just happens to be one of the hottest balls on the market six months after its release. They’ll say the same thing about the Purple Pearl Urethane, and they’ll be wrong again. We realize the importance of this ball and have done extensive testing to make sure it is precisely what bowlers expect.
The core and cover materials are all the same, as is the reaction. The one difference you’ll notice is that we now offer the Purple Pearl Urethane in 12 and 13 pounds.

Purple Ball is BACK!!
The Purple Ball is BACK!!!! This ball has been my go to on short sport patterns! This has allowed me to control my angles and find the pocket! It is about 2-3 boards stronger than the original in my opinion! If you are the tournament bowler, this is a must have in your bag!

Hammer Purple Pearl Urethane
The best modern day urethane ball is back! I used a 60 x 4 x 10 layout on the ball, which put the pin above my ring finger. I have used it on our local house shot and on the chameleon oil pattern and it has the same shape as the original. The only difference I’ve noticed is that it picks up a little sooner and is about 2-3 boards stronger. This ball is a must have for any bowler!

Best Urethane Ball Ever
The Purple Hammer is the standard by which all other urethane balls are judged and this new version only proves that is correct. I’m not a guy that throws urethane on house shots so this is really only for shorter sport patterns for me, but it is good. Probably 3 or 4 boards more hook than the original Purple but this hits harder than urethane has for me, and it has still got that great controllable urethane shape that lets you control the pocket without overreacting which is valuable on tougher patterns. I’m excited to throw it on even shorter patterns soon but I got the chance to test it and reviewed in on the PBA Don Carter 39 ft pattern and it looked great from multiple angles. I could play up the outside but also moved in a little bit and still looked good where previous urethane would quit on me. It has the smooth shape of urethane but continues through pins more like reactive does, so not as many flat 10 pins that come with urethane normally for me. Expect to see this on TV a ton. https://youtu.be/rkeYdXWhEo4

The Real Purple Ball
I was missing a ball that I could throw late in tournaments, on the burn. So, I drilled the Incognito Pearl 45x5.25x45 and holy geez am I so happy I did. This ball gets through the fronts with ease, being a Pearl and all, and the backend and hitting power this ball has is incredible. Lately, I have used it game 4 in league play, and late in blocks for tournaments, with wonderful results. If you’re looking for a ball for that part of your bag, I strongly recommend you pick one of these up, ASAP!

Purple Hammer is Back Baby!!!!
Hammer has brought back the king of Urethane bowling balls. I threw the new Purple right along side with the old Purple Hammer and they are extremely close. The shape & hitting power are the same with the 2021 version picking up just a hair sooner. When urethane is in play you're gonna want to have this in your arsenal. #nothinghitslikeahammer

The Real Purple is Back
Back by popular demand one of the best urethane balls ever made the purple hammer. If you had the original purple hammer your going to see the same motion. There is almost no difference between the two other than it might roll a little earlier. If you never threw the purple before what your going to see is a very strong urethane ball. Best used for sport shots, tuff shots.
