Bad Ass

Retired

The Hammer Bad Ass is a solid reactive bowling ball with the Spheroid core. RG 2.480 and differential 0.048 at 15 lb. For medium oil. No longer made.

Spheroid Core: The Spheroid core has many of the dynamic properties found in some of the most successful core shapes in the history of bowling. Arguably, the most successful shape in history was used in the original Blue Hammer. This design was the founding premise behind our new Spheroid shape. The large spheroid was dynamically engineered with large grooves strategically placed along four quadrants on the perimeter in order to lower the RG, while maintaining a medium to high differential for ideal ball reaction. The Spheroid maximizes the friction enhancing properties of the all-new Juiced Solid cover. As always with Hammer, we’ve poured the Spheroid core with Flex-Resin and the outer core with Carbon Fiber in order to create the hardest hitting and most durable ball possible. Juiced Solid: Leaps in coverstock technology only happen every so many years. Juiced Solid represents one of those leaps. The all-new Juiced Solid creates unmatched friction at the breakpoint, which is what bowlers of all styles crave. Juiced Solid allows the Bad Ass to maintain its reaction shape for a longer period of time compared to traditional reactive covers. This is possible due to the high friction values of Juiced Solid. Even when polished, this cover offers an extremely high RA value, which is crucial in creating bad ass motion at the breakpoint. Finish: With a high friction cover like Juiced, a lot of surface isn’t needed in order to make the ball perform with a little bit of oil on the lane. The Bad Ass has a polished finish, but still maintains a higher RA than most shiny balls, creating perfect traction and usability across the widest range of conditions.
