Ebonite Aero Dynamix bowling ball
Aero quickly became a ball that gained some attention for its performance. It’s great looking but not flashy and is a ball that just does the right thing and strikes a lot. The Aero Dynamix was created as the perfect complement to the Aero. The addition of pearl and compound to GSV-X and the Aero Core makes the Aero Dynamix great on medium to heavier conditions when you can still use some length and a sharper backend.

track proof hybrid bowling ball
The Proof Solid and Proof Pearl have been excellent performing balls on the lanes for Track fans this last year; the response to these two has been great from every type of bowler. The Proof Hybrid combines the best elements of these two successful balls into one great ball. The Proof Hybrid might be the only ball that will get Track fans to put their original Proof balls down.

hammer obsession tour bowling ball
The Obsession and Obsession Tour have the same core shape; however, the Tour edition differential is .016 points lower, creating less flare, less hook, and a more controllable reaction compared to the regular Obsession.
OBSESSION TOUR
The Obsession Tour will create a unique reaction that will allow many players to stand closer to the dry and be great for higher rev players. It uses an updated version of the Tour cover found on the Web Tour balls. Featuring DOT technology, which allows you to drill anywhere which makes this ball even tougher.
Hammer recommends Tough Scrub to keep your Obsession Tour performing its best!

dv8 damn good verge bowling ball
The Verge line has been so good for DV8. The Verge Solid and Verge Pearl are balls that everyone loved, from competitive bowlers the average league player. We wanted to expand the Verge line by adding a lower differential core to bring you more reaction options, and what we found in our testing was more than we had even hoped. The ball was incredible from everywhere on the lane, and for all styles, we even changed the name during the testing process to the only name that fit the ball; we now call it the Damn Good Verge. Low RG, medium to low differential, a strong solid cover, and a 1500 grit finish is the recipe for this Damn Good ball.

dv8 hell raiser return bowling ball
2021 marks the 10th anniversary for DV8, and we are excited to get back to our roots with some edgy names, bold colors, and an updated ball from the original launch.
The Hell Raiser absolutely put DV8 on the map. The Hell Raiser provided a look on the lanes and an attitude that had not been seen before. We are proud to bring you the Hell Raiser Return. This updated version features the same revered core, but we took the time to recreate it in a DOT version and added DynamiCore to increase it’s durability and hitting power. We have also updated the colors and cover to make sure it looks incredible and outperforms the original.
