Overview
An asymmetrical Huntsman core under a reactive cover blended with the Cohesion additive drives this Hammer ball. A polished compound finish lets it travel down lane before turning harder at the back.
A strong backend from a shined cover is the reason to buy it, giving a ball that saves energy for the pins. It follows up the original Effect with the same core. The listing says nothing about oil volume, RG or differential, so a pro shop has to fill those gaps.
Who it's for
League bowlers who see their current ball roll out early will get more push at the back. Beginners and players on very dry lanes should look for something milder.
Pros and cons
- Asymmetrical core for strong motion
- Shined finish saves energy down lane
- Proven core from the original Effect
- Two year limited warranty
- Oil condition, RG and differential not listed
- Shined finish may skid on heavy oil
Performance notes
A shined surface lowers friction in the front part of the lane, so the ball travels further before reading the dry backend. The asymmetrical core then flares hard as it turns. Lane oil volume sets how early that move happens.
