Additional product information:
The new Hammer Effect is unlike any other; it is the first ball to be poured in four colors. The gorgeous appearance isn’t the only thing that will turn heads; the Hammer Effect’s clean and aggressive mid-lane and backend performance is unparalleled in the High Performance category. The Hammer Effect introduces a new core shape called Huntsman and has physical features that will remind you of other famous Hammer balls like the Vibe and Black Widow, creating optimum performance on the lanes. Along with the new core, we’ve upped our HK22 game with this new version that takes responsiveness to the next level. Once you see what the Hammer Effect does on the lanes, you’ll want HK22 – Cohesion Pearl to be used more and more.

The Hammer Effect
The hype is real for the new Hammer Effect. I have thrown Hammer equipment for many years, and the Effect is completely different ball roll. The Effect is very clean, but revs up quickly and CONTINUES. The Huntsman core (combination of the Vibe core and Gask Mask) makes the Effect a one of kind ball roll. I went with 60 x 4.5 x 30, which is a little stronger pin. I will probably drill another one with a weaker pin. The effect will match up for a variety of lane conditions. It rolls awesome on league shots, just keep moving left. The effect also rolls very well on sport shots by controlling the pocket. This is one of the best ball motions from any bowling ball on the market. You will not be disappointed. Another great addition to the Hammer line up.

Wow
Homerun for Hammer. This ball is soooo smooth but still continues through the pins with plenty of power. First time thrown after the pattern broke down there was no problem getting the Effect to the breakpoint. This is a must buy for benchmark of anything you need.

Effect
I drilled my Effect with a 60 x 4 x 35 pin up layout. For me, this ball is so responsive off the end of the pattern. I can use it as a game one ball on medium patterns and has been a great step down ball from my Black Widow 3.0. It is clean through the fronts, like my black Widow 2.0 Hybrid, but it starts earlier and handles the oil better. I noticed on shots that I missed in, it would read and strike, where the 2.0 Hybrid would either leave a two pin or hopefully mix up a strike. I can see this ball being used by all styles of bowlers as well. I can see this ball being used by all different speeds and styles with surface changes. Another homerun by Hammer Bowling!

WOW!!!! Hammer Effect
This ball is soooooo good. The Hammer Effect is very versatile and completely explosive on the back end and through the pins. I drilled mine 60 x 5 x 30 and the shape is impressive. This ball will be in the bag for quite some time. The Hammer Effect has amazing shelf appeal (4 color pour) and ever customer that has purchased one has done nothing but rave about the ball's performance. Don't sleep on this one and get to your local Pro Shop Operator and get yours!!!!!

The Hammer Effect
This ball is clean through the front part of the lane with an awesome backend reaction. Even when it encounters oil it continues through the pins. This ball is versatile so you can hit it with a pad to have it react a bit sooner so that it calms the back a bit, however, if you are looking for finish... this ball can reserve the power off the spot and through the pins and send them flying. This ball can be drilled for any type of Bowler and can be used in tournament and league conditions. The reaction is beautiful and the ball itself is Beautiful with the 4 colors. Nothing like a Beautiful piece of equipment sending the pins flying. Pick up The Hammer Effect today.

Hammer Effect
The first word that comes to mind to describe the new Hammer Effect is WOW!! The Hammer Effect is absolutely beautiful on the lane and off. It continues off the back end of the pattern and never slows down. It is much more ball than I expected out of a pearl. This ball has the new Hammer Huntsman core (best of the Widow and Vibe cores combined) and HK22 Cohesion pearl shell. With limited games thrown it has impressed me like no other. You can miss right and this ball will still recover and retain its energy and hit with power. The ball is extremely versatile on both oily and medium lane conditions. The hype surrounding this ball is real and worth becoming a major player in your bag.

Believe all the hype
With all the hype around this ball I had to give it a try. From the strong mid-lane reaction and huge overall hook to the four-color appearance I was not disappointed. With a new core and HK22 pearl cover I expect this ball to work on a variety of conditions from house to sport. I’m very excited to get this ball into competition.

Effect
Brand new core and new version of HK22 that take this ball to the next level. Clean and aggressive mid-lane with the backend to match not to mention its amazing shelf appeal. The Effect is real and sends the pins flying

4 Colors = different motion
This ball is absolutely maddening from the shelf appeal to the down lane motion. I had no idea up until I purchased this ball they were only 3 colors used but this adds as a benefit as I am able to see the motion better making my moves quicker.

Hammer Effect
There are usually 1 or 2 new bowling balls a year that I call "special" and early returns show this is one that fits that category. The Hammer Effect for me, in limited games has been really good. It is much more ball than I expected out of a pearl (Cohesion Pearl). It is shiny, but reads the mid-lane very well and continues to rev up thru the pins. The new Huntsman core is supposed to be the best of the Widow & Vibe cores. As I continued left I was surprised to see the ball still splitting the 8-9. Usually the deeper I move the more deflection I get. The eye test was telling me this ball was still exiting the back of the pin deck in a very strong position. The Hammer Effect will be heard from a lot this year. Great looking too.
