The best thing about Rob and ctd doing reviews is they’re honest. The staffer review are you need this ball best ball ever must have this in your bag. Ron keeps it real!!

[@Ctdbowling]

We appreciate the feedback and you are correct. We will always give it to you straight.

[@bigg_50_jonn]

I AM ALSO A LEFTY ... Speed Dominate!! I like what I see and I have been looking at this ball for a short while. I strongly believe this ball is my next purchase.

[@persistentintensity]

Thanks for all the education work you do. This is my third "come-back" in the last 15 years or so. I bowled tournaments and such in the 80's and 90's. Had a heart attack and emergency 5-way bypass in 2006. I was only 51. Came back in 2012 then had cancer in 2013. Had low hpm and got a pacemaker in 2016. Started another come-back in 2019. I always had strong layouts then took out the side weight. No can do these days. I have struggled matching up surface/polish/sanding stuff. If I get it right, I'm good. If not, I'm disgusted and ready to retire. The huge number of ball releases/surfaces/cores are very confusing. So, thanks for walking us thru it!

[@Ctdbowling]

Wow very impressive glad to hear you are doing better and we are happy to assist in offering more knowledge.

[@persistentintensity]

@@Ctdbowling Thanks!

[@remington1439]

New to your show and I dig the way you describe the ball from cover to core. No one does this in any video or many videos I’ve seen. That core in the effect is that flat peace up top under pin’ would that be a flip counter to the core. I hope you will tell me because I’m ready to buy the ball. I will drill it out as 50x5x30 can you tell me if that to strong?? Do you sell that jersey you have on or others that sweet.? Thank you Ronald for all the info. Can’t wait for the next one Sir

[@Ctdbowling]

[@scottberkhous3379]

Curious about decision to polish vs. sanding the cover? Initially, I saw the ball being a bit too strong downlane/over under. I wouldn't have thought breaking the surface a touch would have smoothed it out and made more controlled?

[@TheWildwoodPicker]

That's a great looking ball and I even like the name of it too. Those are the kinds of colors that I look for when browsing bowling balls that I may want to buy.

I just ordered mine today, it’s being drilled and will be ready on Monday. Looking forward to seeing the reaction. I own the black widow 2.0, 3.0 and the 2.0 hybrid. I also gave the hammer scorpion. Will post later how it works for me. I am a 185 bowler and looking to improve, last season was my first year back from bowling after 25 years of not touching a ball.

[@scottashley3906]

You are funny my brother. I hope you enjoyed your get away. Keep up the good work.🤙🏿🤙🏿💯💯

[@Ctdbowling]

Thanks, it was a good trip. We appreciate the support.

[@christopherkinchen1709]

I'm about three months into my return after ~15 years. Decided to switch to 2H release after a bad wrist sprain, which relieves the pressure on my wrist, but greatly increased my revs while slowing my ball speed a bit. Obviously most balls hook for me. Got this as a surprise purchase (Mystery ball online), and as you state, this ball HOOKS. Thanks for the tips on the polish and WOW factor...I was considering trading this ball for something that spins up slower. Subscribed to the channel today, looking forwarding to learning more as I start my first league this summer!

[@user-ll2lg6it7n]

Looks nice and I really only see 3

I’ve been waiting to see how this baby works🥰🥰 Also 🍊

[@Ctdbowling]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

Nice video Ron! 21 to 4 is the line I play on the left side when I am shaping the ball into the pocket. It is my comfort zone, but there is very little room for error. It's funny about the scent since 1 month ago, there was a discussion on one of the bowling forums about Brunswick line bowling balls smelling like gasoline. I welcome my bowling bag smelling more like a bakery or spice market. Thanks for the content! P.S. I am sure there is a recent Delaware Classic champ on the Hammer staff would welcome all of the Brooklyns. (Sorry, I had to put that out there 😂) P.P.S. I just watched 3 other videos with this Hammer Effect and not one mentioned the citrus scent.

[@Ctdbowling]

Thanks for watching. Here's another one most missed. Those last 12 shots were not edited and they all struck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@duronj77]

I like the ball, looks awesome makes me want to buy it based on the balls swag.

[@Ctdbowling]

It is even better in person

[@nickcelano6715]

Just drilled mine yesterday. Got about 10 shots in on a trashed pair with carry down. My ball was too long not hookin enough. Before I crack the surface with a sanding pad. Would you recommend using wow hm? I just bought a bottle last week 😎

[@strangeunidude]

Any update on the sweet looking thicker BAM pad? Gotta get my hands on one of those when they become available. Might have to get my hands on this ball too to round out a gap in my arsenal

[@Ctdbowling]

It's definitely coming out

[@rexwilliams4273]

I noticed that my motiv primal has a kinda citrus smell also.

[@cmihale]

Wondering what the ball scanned at prior to adding the polish?

[@frederickwoodard9551]

Considering I am not a power player I think a low RG would work for me. 🙂

[@KP206-vr6qi]

which ball cleaner would you recommend to use on this ball?

[@joshuaw1874]

This is basically a ghost pearl with more colors

It’s a cool looking ball I thought my Hazmat was awesome looking.

[@marvyngalsim2661]

How do we get a green BAM Pad like used in this video? The website only shows blue or black and then a 6-pack assorted.

[@Ctdbowling]

That is a prototype of a new version coming in a couple of months.

[@duronj77]

I have Theorem, Crimson Jackal, Widow 3.0. Do you see the need for this ball fitting in my bag?

[@Ctdbowling]

This ball out back ends them all. I would add it.

[@duronj77]

@@Ctdbowling Got my effect and love it. Should I add Scorpion Low Flare to round out Hammer bag with Effect and 3.0? I have most of the Motiv balls but was looking to have flexibility across brands.

[@danielweisman6764]

HM helps the ball absorb more oil, how does that in turn make the ball hook more?

[@Ctdbowling]

It increases friction by having more oil absorption

[@ReyGambino16]

Do we still offer the green BAM pad? Mine is M.I.A. Nice ball and video 💪🏽

[@Ctdbowling]

Not in green we will have another version later in green

[@patrickdelaney5447]

How does one get this setup?

[@michaelmorton7912]

Have you taken the polish off but with a 4k pad. Wonder what that "EFFECT" it would have?

[@bigboots6114]

it wouldnt be so angular

[@GrumpaBaggins]

So, as a newer bowler who throws 12-14lb at 13-15mph left-handed would you recommend the Hammer Effect, Purple, or Nu Blue ball? I currently use a Rhino red, black, gold. Thanks for any advice!

[@Ctdbowling]

I would probably go with a staple ball like an Envy Tour in that case. If you wanted more hook or a NU if you wanted less than your current ball.

[@GrumpaBaggins]

@Ctdbowling thank you. I really appreciate it!

[@alexanderlouiedelosreyes8284]

I think this is a good transition ball for 2 handers.

[@Ctdbowling]

Agreed

[@christopherwilson7004]

Drilling may be Critical for this. I'm hopping it compliments my Hitter

[@daviddeiss7907]

so, I'm a low rev low speed player and I love equipment that is clean through the front of the lane, this ball certainly is clean but what I don't like about balls like this is the sharp move it makes at the end of the pattern and at first the ball was verry sharp for you and then you polished it and brought the overall surface up to 6500 and that tamed it down, before you threw it I was thinking it was just going to be even more sharp but the higher polished surface cut the hook down which makes sense but I've had balls where I polished them up and they get way to sharp and over under so I'm not really understanding that prosses completely. as a low rev low speed player, I don't have a problem getting balls to hook as a matter of fact I can get even the weak balls to make a move, the thing with weak balls is that they just don't carry very well so I opt for stronger performance equipment and what I have been doing is drilling them short pin and putting a 500-grit sanding with slip agent on top and that cuts the hook down and keeps me from getting forced to far left but the short pin drilling kind of makes the ball more of a banana shape, what I would prefer is a more straighter up the boards kind of look but with a smooth controllable move to the pocket. I'm not really Shur how to achieve that kind of ball motion. would drilling asymmetric equipment pin down work for a guy like me? If you have any recommendations as to equipment and surface prep for low rev low speed player I would appreciate your advice.

They do help me personally

[@bigboots6114]

its called KT tape and i use it on my elbows and wrists to help relax the muscles if they get sore on the day i bowl

[@robertbishop86]

Would drilling pin down make it less angular?

[@Ctdbowling]

Or maybe make it more angular

[@brolyliboy]

Nice color scheme, however I don’t see the maroon

[@lowshay]

Hammer Epidemic was apparently 7 colors, they called it full spectrum. This was info that Jeff Ussery said and that technology was brand new at the time

[@Ctdbowling]

There were only 3 color pours in that ball. There are 4 pour heads here.

[@frederickwoodard9551]

How well will that ball work with a righty. 🙂

[@Ctdbowling]

Watch the video in a mirror

[@frederickwoodard9551]

I think it will be good for me since I am not a power player based on what I have seen in the video. I really don’t need an asymmetrical bowling ball since I am not a power bowler. 🙂

[@joeanderson9267]

I saw a video by "The Hype" Charles Hutchinson and he was killing it too. Would love to see it compared to the Attention and Theorem!

[@rafabonati7757]

Hammer is wrong regarding the 4 colors being a first. Back in the 1950s, the Manhattan company created a ball that was black rubber with swirls of red, orange, green, blue, and yellow. That’s 6 distinct colors. Okay, perhaps they are right since it didn’t have just 4 colors. Ha!
