The Next Great Hammer Ball!
Combining great features from different successful bowling balls to create even better new balls is exactly how Pure Envy was created. A lot of development goes into creating the next great Hammer ball, and with Hammer’s extensive catalog of successful cores and covers, the process is extensive but exciting. The goal with Pure Envy was to complement the performance of the Extreme Envy in oil and provide backend motion in a dull ball that reminds Hammer fans of the Effect. To accomplish this goal, we started with multiple core designs, and the clear winner from our testing was the original Launcher core. The Launcher core numbers are strong; the high differential and asymmetry help create the big overall motion. The cover options with Hammer’s additive packages are vast, but the new Cohesion additive combined with HK22 that was first seen in the Effect creates an unmatched ability for backend traction, and this, along with surface, gives Hammer fans a new big ball for oil. You will not want to hit the lanes without Pure Envy in your bag this bowling season.

Hammer Pure Envy
I really like this new addition to the Envy line. I have not seen this reaction on the back in a dull finish ball. It's been my go to for the fresh on league night, and I recently was able to try it on a couple of patterns in Klamath Falls which featured dual patterns for the regional. I was able to use it on the fresh for both patterns and was impressed with the control on the longer Rick Steelsmith pattern as well as the response on the Del Ballard shorter pattern. I will echo exactly what I read and heard and now have seen that The Pure Envy has the strength, with more length of the Extreme Envy and the backend response of The Effect. Don't sleep on this one folks! You'll be sorry if you miss out.

Hammer Pure Envy
I am a big fan of the Envy line of bowling balls. The Envy Tour is my go-to ball when the lanes are tough. The Envy Tour Pearl is a favorite of mine when the lanes have opened up and you need high scores. The Extreme Envy is my favorite heavy oil, or long oil ball. I'll throw in the Hammer Effect also because that is my favorite ball when I need to get super deep on the lane and play 5th or 6th arrow. Now hammer is adding the Pure Envy which has attributes of all of these pieces. It has a dull hybrid cover, but that cover has the HK22 & a cohesion additive that was introduced in the Effect. It has the original Launcher core which is slightly different than the Launcher LRG in the Extreme. This ball is a big oil ball that is a little cleaner and more continuous. I have about 5 or 6 games on mine and so far, I am letting it lane shine. The shape has just gotten better and better so far. This one has a good chance to be special.
