Bowling is a game that dates back to ancient Egypt. The most common form of bowling is ten-pin bowling. Ten-pin bowling is usually played on 62 feet of maple and pine that are covered with a synthetic material. Bowling is played with a bowling ball made of urethane, plastic, reactive resin or a combination of these materials. This ball is rolled down the lane and the object is to knock all ten pins dons with the ball. Bowling pins are made of maple that is covered with nylon that is then dipped into latex to prevent cracking. Bowling is a very competitive sport. Same as any other sport, there are multiple companies that make bowling equipment and accessories. One of these companies is Hammer Bowling and they make some of the best bowling balls. Hammer Bowling is a company that specializes in creating top-notch bowling balls. Hammer Bowling is owned by Ebonite International; a company that oversees the manufacturing of bowling balls and bowling equipment. Hammer bowling balls are made at Ebonite’s plant in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Hammer Bowling sponsors many members of the Professional Bowlers Association and you can see their bowling balls in live action at any PBA tournament. Some of Hammer’s better-known bowling balls are the “Blue” Hammer, Black Widow Series, Hawg Series, No Mercy Series, Blade Series, and the Raw Hammer Series. Hammer Bowling has built a reputation and created a following of hard-core, in-your-face bowlers. Anyone who owns a Hammer bowling ball refers to himself or herself as a HammerHead.  If you were serious about getting into bowling or looking for that tough bowling ball then Hammer Bowling would be a good place to start. When choosing a Hammer bowling ball the first thing to take into consideration is the spacing of the finger holes. Even the lightest balls can cause damage to your hand if the finger holes are not spaced well for you. If you were an experienced bowler than spending extra on a custom ball to fit your fingers would be the best options so you do not damage your hand over time. Also, buying a Hammer bowling ball that is made to fit your hand and fingers will ensure you play your best game. Custom bowling balls are costly, however, and you should probably not consider buying one if you are just starting out.
