The original Burgundy Hammer from the early 1990's was the earliest and strongest ball of its time. If you needed hook, you turned to the Burgundy. We didn't set out to give the bowling world another urethane product, we already have the Blue Hammer and you wouldn't see a lot of difference on today's lane conditions. Instead, we have brought you the Burgundy Hammer reaction for today's environments. This is not a urethane ball, but a reactive cover we're calling Reacta-Thane. This is an early rolling cover we've made even stronger by finishing the ball with 500 grit Abralon. The color is the same, the finish is similar and the reaction is a throwback to what made the Burgundy so special.

I've been very pleased with it so far
This is my first hook ball. I've been very pleased with it so far. Since having my own ball, my average has gone up 40 pins and I have posted several 200+ games in league. If you are looking for your first hook ball then I would definitely recommend this one. It's easy to handle and won't go hooking across the lanes uncontrollably.Whether you purchase this ball or not, I would recommend talking with your local pro shop to find out what ball and layout will fit your style, ball speed, revs, etc. I can tell that my ball was not drilled in the absolute best place for me and I regret not having my local pro shop fit me properly for it.The only reason I give this ball 4 stars out of 5 is that the chips and scratches that are normal for any bowling ball to get over time stand out more than other balls due to the contrast and color of the scratches and the ball. Other than this non-performance affecting critique, the ball is outstanding and has been a great purchase.
