Extreme Envy

Extreme Envy:  This early rolling oil eater is a Monster on heavy patterns. The Extreme Envy is the most aggressive ball that I have ever used. When I need a ball to roll through the puddle, this is the first out of my bag. The ball is strong and continuous, without losing control of the pocket. I can keep the reaction in front of me on longer patterns without the ball coming off the end of the pattern too sharp. Strong reaction with control is necessary on long patterns and this ball checks all the boxes. The Extreme Envy is for oil.

This is hammers new big asymmetrical release. They designed this ball to be a little cleaner than the envy with a little more backend motion. The overall hook seems very close but you can certainly tell it gets a little further down the lane which gives you a more angular look. This is certainly a medium to heavy oil ball for me but I look forward to throwing it.

I drilled mine 45 X 5 ½ X 25. The Hammer Extreme Envy has the same cover as the original Envy, but carbon fiber was added, making this a big ball that does not quit downlane. The Extreme Envy is an excellent high-performance asymmetric for medium to heavy oil lane conditions. It does remind me of the original Envy, which I love, but this ball is much more angular on the backend.

This is the most hooking ball in my arsenal. It is great to have a ball that I know will hook, so I can relax my swing and not have to try and pull the ball to the pocket. I have used it on both short and long patterns.

My first impressions of the Hammer Extreme Envy is it's a pretty special ball. I practiced with it against my other two big asymmetric solids, the Brunswick Mindset & the DV8 Hellcat, both pieces I like. In the beginning I found them all to be pretty similar, but when moving my feet left and getting deeper on the lane the Extreme Envy took over. Unlike most big pieces that will burn up and lose hitting power in deep, the Extreme Envy kept coming. Instead off flat ten or 2-8 the Extreme Envy kept running over the 8 pin. It stayed strong where most big solids don't like to hit from. I drilled mine at 65 x 3-1/2 x 25 and hits like a truck. In the arsenal!

The new Hammer Extreme Envy is a ball with hook unlike many balls I have thrown. The Hammer Envy Tour was the big ball in my arsenal that allowed me to play on oily lane conditions. The new Hammer Extreme Envy is another “Big Ball” with a much different look on the lanes. Like the Envy Tour, the Extreme Envy is very smooth, but the addition of the flip disc in the ball gives more angularity off the spot as the ball transitions down lane. The drill pattern in this ball is 40x4x30, which allows for the ball to be very clean and provide a consistent roll through the heads. If you were a fan of the Hammer Obsession bowling ball line, then this ball will not disappoint. I strongly encourage bowlers at all bowling levels looking for a big ball for oily lane conditions to consider the this ball.
