This makes more sense than the video I saw comparing the pitch purple (a solid ) vs the Purple Pearl ( a pearl ). I feel like the pitch purple is more like the BTU or black widow urethane?
Aggressive on wooden lanes w/lite oil conditions. Not really made for synthetic surfaces. I practice with mine in the off season going straight up 5 and out.
Was that the original blue Hammer from like 1990, or the later remake? The core differences between the two could make the difference in reaction rather substantial.
Tristen Parker I started a new league on Monday and we had to set averages. My resin balls were all failing me so I pulled that one out, and probably set my average too high with as good as it worked for me.
What about the Hammer Purple Pearl Urethane? Is that also what you'd call a "mild reactive" or would you term it as urethane? Also heard that the coverstock of the Purple Urethane tends to wear out much faster than "traditional" urethane, is this due to the cover formula, or would resurfacing it bring it back to life much like other urethane balls?
Ronald Hickland Jr Thank you for the reply! I’ve watched all of your purple urethane videos and was still a little unsure. Really good to hear straight from you. Thanks man!
You have to throw the Hammer different and let it do the work. The best throw for the Hammer is 3/4 speed and rotation. It will track and explode the rack. Over rotation and high speed aren't needed.
I can get the Storm Mix to hook almost like a reactive ball on a house shot. But I bowl between 13-14 MPH with two fingers. If the lane is dry it'll hook from coast to coast.
Here is my take, i throw the hy-road pearl usually and as i see it, the pitch purple has the same arch as my pearl, and therefore I'm hoping that on a short pattern where urethane is key to move oil down for later, that the purple will move it like a urethane right into my pearl's path. That's at least what I'm getting from the reviews and why it's the next ball I'm probably getting. 🤔 👍

Quite good video, awesome! Would you like to be RUclips friends? :]
Love this comparison showed I definitely want that blue hammer as my second ball because the one I have now hooks too much on certain lanes

Agreed
Great video love the side by side comparison.
Thanks. I was thinking about getting a pitch purple but now that i know its not urethane I will go with the Black Hammer
You could also go with a Pitch Black if you have trouble finding a Black Hammer!
@@heminemvevoaustralia4632 Thanks but my main thing is I want a 'typical' urethane ball. I was looking at the pitch black too
HeminemVEVO Australia so is the pitch black and the black hammer r they like convitentinal urethane or new urethane
Back in my day...
The blue hammer was a very aggressive ball. Not so much anymore.
still own 2. learned on a blue when I was 9 in 2006. cant change lol. Went to a tropical storm and always went back

Yes that was an original
Nice comparison, I'll stick with my blue Hammer!
Just got my Pitch Purple drilled. I haven’t had a chance to roll it down the lane yet.
Alan Ring I got mines Thursday and wanted to use it on Saturday but I didn’t need it.I shot a 574 with my phase 3

Purple Pearl is true urethane. That coverstock is more durable than most. Check my channel I talk about that ball in depth
@@Ctdbowling interesting...what accounts for the motion we get from it?

Is the blue hammer still available ?
You have to throw the Hammer different and let it do the work. The best throw for the Hammer is 3/4 speed and rotation. It will track and explode the rack. Over rotation and high speed aren't needed.
How close is the core of the blue Hammer to the core of the Pitch Purple?
The Pitch Purple would be a more dynamic core shape.
I have the blue hammer. How low a grit can I use on it to change the surface?
As low as you want. Balls like that came at 220 grit back in the day
@@Ctdbowling thanks!
Any thoughts on the Storm Mix? Bought mine as a spare ball. Thinking someone asking for a urethane for “dry lanes” might like this piece,
That ball is definitely made to go straight. So yes on extremely dry lanes it could be useful
I can get the Storm Mix to hook almost like a reactive ball on a house shot. But I bowl between 13-14 MPH with two fingers. If the lane is dry it'll hook from coast to coast.
Machine messed up. 542 rpm? Then next shot with the other ball its in the 300 hundreds
It doesn't read rev rate accurate. It's amazing at position though
Thanks, was going to ask about this as well.
I have pitch black an black widow urthane. Witch is better use on house shot
Depends on your rev rate.
So would u suggest having both in ur bag
They roll different so that could be an option.
