Hammer Anger: The Most Responsive Hammer Ball Yet
Introducing the Hammer Anger Bowling Ball: A Mid-Performance Powerhouse
The Hammer Anger is a new mid-performance bowling ball set to release on November 21, 2024. The ball is designed for light to medium oil conditions and features the innovative HK22 coverstock with CT Reactive Flip additives, paired with a modified version of the Modified Infamous core. This combination results in a ball that provides unmatched length with a strong backend reaction, making it ideal for bowlers seeking a skid-flip motion.
The HK22 coverstock, known for its versatility and strength, allows Hammer to create a ball that excels in oily conditions, offering stronger characteristics than previously possible. This coverstock is paired with the modified Infamous core, a high RG, dynamic core designed for length. This means the Anger will skid further down the lane before transitioning to a powerful backend reaction.
The Anger also boasts an aggressive and eye-catching black, red, and caramel color scheme. As discussed in our previous conversation, this striking aesthetic aligns with the ball’s name and its potential for taglines like “Unleash Your Anger.” The Anger promises to be a powerful and responsive addition to the Hammer line-up, offering bowlers a unique combination of length, backend reaction, and visual appeal.
Modified Infamous Core: Where Length Meets Fury
The Modified Infamous Core: Engineered for Length and Power
The Hammer Anger bowling ball features a modified version of the Infamous core, known for its high RG and dynamic properties. A high RG indicates that the core has a higher concentration of mass located further from its center. This results in increased length, meaning the ball will skid further down the lane before transitioning into a powerful backend reaction. The dynamic nature of the core further enhances this reaction, creating a more aggressive and angular motion on the backend.
This core is specifically designed to complement the Anger’s HK22 coverstock, which is formulated for strong performance in oily conditions. By combining a high RG core with a strong coverstock, the Anger delivers a unique blend of length and backend power, making it an ideal choice for bowlers seeking a skid-flip motion on light to medium oil lanes.

HK22: Engineered for Unmatched Responsiveness
Anger’s Factory Finish: A Blend of Smoothness and Traction
The Hammer Anger bowling ball comes with a factory finish of 500, 1000, and 1500 Siaair grit with a factory compound. This multi-stage polishing process creates a surface that balances smoothness and traction. The initial 500 grit step provides a good foundation for the subsequent steps, removing any major imperfections from the coverstock. The 1000 and 1500 grit steps further refine the surface, creating a smoother finish that allows the ball to glide effortlessly through the oil while maintaining enough texture for grip and control.
The factory compound applied during the polishing process enhances the coverstock’s natural characteristics, promoting a balanced skid-flip motion. This finish allows the Anger to read the lane effectively, providing consistent length and a strong backend reaction. Bowlers seeking to fine-tune the ball’s reaction can further customize the surface using different polishing techniques or grit pads, but the factory finish provides a solid starting point for achieving optimal performance on light to medium oil lanes.

I think the RG is toÊ» long for the cover. If it was intended for high rev players you should say so. With 11.5-13.5 mph, I never saw a flip.
