Hammer Effect Tour Bowling Ball

The previous tour balls from Hammer were all great and very smooth options. This ball is that plus more powerful in my view. So far I've been able to play straighter or a bigger sweeping hook pretty easily. Drilled 60x4x40 and box surface it has not disappointed

The smooth reaction and predictability of Hammer's previous Tour balls have been fantastic and it keeps getting better. The Obsession Tour and the Envy Tour have had much proven success at every level. The new Effect Tour will continue this legacy and provide a smoother roll in the front part of the lane and an aggressive, yet controllable move off the spot. This piece is perfect for medium to heavy oil patterns.

Simple put.. wow. The Effect Tour is smooth, predictable and continuous which is exactly what you want in a tour ball. This has been the first and sometimes only ball out of my bag in a variety of conditions

The new Hammer Effect Tour is the solid Hammer Effect we’ve been waiting for! The new Hammer Effect Tour has the successful new Huntsman core but has eliminated the Radial Disc which is found in the original Hammer Effect, which lowered the differential and intermediate differential. Hammer infused this ball with the Tour cover, TourV3 Solid, creating a ball shape and motion that will catch the attention of any bowler at all levels. Any of the Hammer Tour balls have been incredible predictable and successful. The new Hammer Effect Tour carries on that known predictability and consistency known in the Tour bowling balls. The Hammer Effect Tour moves much sooner in the midlanes and is much more responsive off the friction. Like the original Hammer Effect, you can miss right with this ball, and it still recovers and retain its energy and hitting power. I put a 55x4.5x35 layout in this ball to create more length and backend to provide a more aggressive ball reaction off the spot. I absolutely love the Hammer Effect and now the Effect Tour is a ball that will always be in my bag because of its versatility and predictability on both oily and medium lane conditions. Keel believing the hype about the Hammer Effect and now the Effect Tour because everything you are hearing is true. The new Hammer Effect Tour is once again going to change the game of bowling and is available in your local pro shop!

The Hammer Effect tour is a smooth Solid with a great backend motion and hits like a ton of bricks. This will be a good league or tournament addition to your bag. If you like something that can smooth the pattern out with a great motion towards the pocket this ball will not disappoint. Plan on getting another soon!

Hammer Effect Tour Review Stats: Speed – 17.0; RPM – 335; AT – 19; AR – 55 Layout: 45 x 5” x 40 Hammer’s newest Top Shelf launch, the Effect Tour, is a newly engineered, solid tour version of the original Effect featuring several improvements that should surely get lots of attention. Eliminating the Radial Disc from the bottom of the Huntsman core lowered the differential and intermediate differential, creating optimum numbers worthy of being Hammer’s next tour ball. I chose the layout I did to get the ball to roll forward a little sooner due to my higher tilt, but transition a bit slower to really utilize that longer, stronger roll phase of ball motion. I have used it on a couple of different patterns and here is my assessment: 42 ft. THS (typical house shot): The Effect Tour has been a very good ball for the house shot in two centers I frequent. What I love about this ball is that it chews through the oil, makes a defined move off the spot, but is still predictable enough to control from shot to shot. Very versatile to cover changes, I took mine from box finish, down to 1000 and back up to 3000, and it responds to all of those very well. If you are seeing too much early hook, take the cover up to 4000, too much length, just sand it to 1000 or even 500, it takes to those changes extremely well! Do not be afraid to adjust the surface to your game, this ball can handle it! 45 ft. Weber pattern: I just rolled on this pattern a few days ago, and the Effect Tour was the best ball in my bag on the fresh. Projection and speed control are key, and the Effect Tour at 2000 was the perfect matchup. It rolled forward perfectly and hit heavy through the pins, carrying the off pocket hits extremely well. As the four game block progressed, I was able to move further inside, roll the ball firm off my hand, and it saw the friction consistently, making my moves easier and more trustworthy, resulting in higher scores and more confidence in the ball. If you are looking for that “benchmark” ball reaction from a high end asymmetric, with just a slightly lower diff. to help on those tricky sport patterns, look no further than the Hammer Effect Tour. Available to order now from Bowler Builders Pro Shops! Nothing hits like a Hammer!

The Hammer Effect Tour is going to turn some heads. It will be a bench mark ball for most tournament players and league bowlers. The TourV3 Solid coverstock wrapped around the huntsman tour core is a great combination. The ball is smooth through the mids and drives through the pin deck. You'll want to get one fast!
