Hammer Effect Tour

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.

Anger

This is a really good ball for the dryer Lanes. At first, I thought it was too sharp off the spot then I hit it with a 3000 pad and now I really love this ball.
It Is definitely everything they said it was the perfect ball for places that have lots of friction.

Super symmetrical

Radical No doubt
I am a left handed bowler. My ball speed is around 14.5 mph. My Rev rate is around 275 rpms. Radical bowling technologies calls this ball a super symmetrical. It has HK22 pearl cover. I have had several symmetrical balls over the years. And this ball has the most backend motion I ever seen. It is my favorite symmetrical ball. It is an awesome addition to the Radical Bowling Technologies line. If look are looking for a new ball I highly recommend this ball.

Thanks,
Robert Way

Awesome value. Will definitely buy again.

Super Awesome Ball!!!

Figured I would get a mystery ball for only $99 plus $10 to personalize it, and I’m happy I made this purchase. I mentioned that I wanted to possibly try urethane in my arsenal and I can’t wait to drill up this Hammer Pearl Black Urethane to use at league. My 228 average might go up even more now. I even received a bad ass shammy with the ball. Now the wifey wants a mystery ball (Hammer Widow variation possibly 😉)

Great experience

DV8 Mantra Bowling Ball

If You Loved the Diva, You’re Gonna Love the New Mantra!!!

The DV8 Diva was a go-to ball when the lanes were tighter down lane. The new DV8 Mantra gives you the same clean and consistent roll you had with the Diva, but with much more backend off the friction. The new Mantra provides a medium-strength asymmetric core with a skid-flip cover for a ball that will benefit any bowler on medium conditions. Infused with the industry-leading HK22 cover and Inciter Xtreme additives from the Trouble Maker Pearl with a factory compound finish, the Mantra provide bowlers at all levels great length down lane and a strong, yet predictable change of direction off the friction. Bowlers at all levels will definitely recognize the performance of this bowling ball. The new DV8 Mantra has a performance on the lanes that you don’t want to miss! If you are not throwing DV8, you’re just not bowling!!!

DV8 Heckler Bowling Ball

Not Just for No Thumbs and Two-Handers!!!

I am very proud to introduce to you the newest addition to the DV8 line, the DV8 Heckler. DV8 has been at the leading edge by developing bowling balls designed for the two handed revolution. The new DV8 Heckler follows with this new asymmetric Unholy core which is specifically engineered for oily conditions, offering unparalleled performance especially for the no-thumb bowlers. The HK22 cover with Cohesion and Maximum Havoc additives was strategically chosen to match up with the new Unholy core to overcome oily lane conditions. I drilled the new Heckler pin down and with the mass bias down below my thumb, which allows for the ball to roll much heavier on oilier lane conditions. For 2-handed and 2-finger bowlers, this is another incredible ball from DV8 and is definitely a must have in your bag. DV8 keeps on creating innovation in bowling equipment and has done it again with the new DV8 Heckler. If you are not throwing DV8, you’re just not bowling!!!

Hammer Pure Envy Bowling Ball

Incredible Complement in the Envy Line!

The new Hammer Pure Envy is another incredible ball in the Envy line from Hammer. If you are a fan of the Extreme Envy and the Envy Tour, then the Pure Envy will definitely not disappoint. The Hammer Envy Tour was the big ball in my arsenal that allowed me to play on oily lane conditions. The Hammer Extreme Envy is another “Big Ball” with is very smooth and provides more angularity because of the added flip disk. The Pure Envy in my opinion is a combination of the Envy Tour and the Extreme Envy. As I am a fan of hybrid bowling balls, the Pure Envy has a hybrid cover with the HK22 cohesion additive, which was introduced in the Hammer Effect. The drill pattern in this ball is 40x3x30, which allows for the ball to be very clean and provide a consistent roll through the heads, with more continuous roll down lane. I use this ball particularly when I need more backend when the corners are being difficult, especially on heavy oil lane conditions. This ball is a definite compliment in the Envy line, and I strongly encourage bowlers at all bowling levels looking for a big ball for oily lane conditions to consider this ball. Check out a new Hammer Pure Envy at your local pro shop try out one of the newest and hottest balls on the market today!

And When You Thought it Couldn’t Get Any Better!!!

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!

Got a ball worth more

Had no idea what to buy for my first ball so I went with the mystery. Got myself a Radical Deadly Rattler from this so I was happy overall with my purchase. Would definitely purchase another mystery.

Good price. Good ball

Theorem Pearl

Theorem Pearl is great addition to the track family. They took the original theorem turned into a pearl which is a little bit longer and a little bit stronger on the backend. The motion is very predictable, making it very easy to read.

The 9 T1 Sole Review

Well I have been using this new sole for the past 7 weeks in league. I'm one who has an issue with toe dragging. So having shoes with soles that can be replaced is very nice.

As you will see in the picture I added. There's some wear after 7 weeks. But overall the sole is holding up very well and the good thing is.. the sole can be replaced when needed without the rest of the shoe being damaged. I'm a happy customer!

Another BW Mystery Ball

Ordered another mystery ball. I have recently been dealing with a wrist issue. Needed another ball that's a pound lighter. As I don't want to let my league teammates down taking several weeks off.

As for what I received. I got the Brunswick Ethos Hybrid. Another awesome ball! If you're someone on the fence about ordering a mystery ball. If you don't mind getting a random Brunswick branded ball. Give it a shot. My experience with BW has been great.

Just remember the "Personalized Selection" option. It's $10 more. But if you're someone with a ball arsenal already, looking to fill or replace a spot in your bag. It's helpful to add that info. They do listen and do their best to help us bowlers.

Great value

These shoes come in men's sizes. I did not know this since it doesn't say that. I wish I had ordered 8.5 instead of 9. Otherwise, these shoes are comfortable, lightweight, and nice looking. A very good buy for a beginner to casual bowler.

Thank you for your review, we have updated our product page to further clarify that the sizes listed are men's shoe sizes.

Cool

Pretty neat deal, two mystery balls. I got the two balls that were on my radar Radical Hitter pearl and Brunswick Mesmerize should be a good one-two punch for house shots. Really happy to get these two balls at a really good price.

Ricochet pearl

Ricochet pearl I drilled mine 50x5x30. And this ball super clean Thu the front with a with a strong motion on the back. this ball is your typical hockey stick motion on the back..it Responds well to surface change I was very impressed by this ball and I see this ball being my number 1 symmetrical pearl in my bag for a long time.

Very comfortable

These bowling shoes are light weight and very comfortable. The price was amazing.

Happy overall

Received my mystery ball today, a Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid. Personalization option was chosen as I was looking for a more aggressive ball to pair with my Arctic Vibe. Will be ordering again. Only issue is the fiancé wants one now!

Little loss but good otherwise.

Love it !

Bought this ball used at our house pro shop. Getting older and couldn't throw my 15# Hammer Raw Anger hard enough to keep it on the lane. Got this 14# Cyclone and I'm back, baby !

These are my first pair of bowling shoes. They were a little tight at first but after playing a game in them they felt great.

Track grip sack

I had been using a small round grip ball. This Track grip sack gives a better all aroud grip feel to my ahand as a whole. I don't have to wack it around my hand to achieve a dryer feel. The price was good and shipping free. No complaints
