Envy Pearl
This exciting addition to the Envy line has me giddy. The Envy Tour Pearl is clean enough to get through the fronts, and still enough ball to continue through the pins. This ball is a great option after the Envy Tour has started to hook to early to be effective through the pins.

Envy Tour Pearl
Hammer Envy Tour Pearl is a great option for lanes that have friction and need a ball to push to the breakpoint. The 2.469 Rg and .034 Diff on this ball makes it responsive off the dry part of the lane and makes a strong, controlled reaction at the end of the pattern. It is an ideal adjustment from the solid Envy line, or any solid ball that loses its reaction down lane later in the block. This ball will push farther and be controlled off the pattern to make adjusting to transition easier. This ball looks great in league, as it holds pocket when missed in the oil and has a strong motion when missed out. Tournament bag as well as you will need this motion as the lanes transition.

Sharp!
Very similar to the envy tour but for me it gets down the lane a bit farther and turns the corner a little sharper. Excellent choice when transitioning from the envy tour after a few games.

Clean, angular, beautiful, continuous

Heavy oil, wet-dry conditions

Great for transition!
Envy Tour Pearl: This exciting addition to the Envy line has me giddy. This is the answer to the front chop and carry down that many players experience when the tournament patterns start to move left. The Envy Tour Pearl is clean enough to get through the fronts, and still enough ball to continue through the pins. This ball is a great option after the Envy Tour has started to hook to early to be effective through the pins.

Envy Tour Pearl
Hammer Envy Tour Pearl is a wow!! This ball has been amazing on house and sport patterns. I haven’t found a pattern this ball does not work on, this ball is amazing! Definitely a step up from the original envy tour solid and a great compliment for when the solid starts to lose energy, this ball will be the perfect replacement with a strong but predictable backend motions.

Envy Tour Pearl
I drilled my Envy Tour Pearl with a pin up 50x4x30 layout. This ball is another great piece in the Envy lineup. With the addition of HK22, this ball is a super clean and very responsive down lane. The Envy Tour Pearl is very continuous the spot. This ball reminds me of the Obsession Tour (gold). I feel like this ball will roll best on medium to lighter oil conditions.

Right out of the box 250 with 8 in a row. Carried every pocket hit, light, high, just took out the corner without any problem. A few sets in now and I love this ball!

Envy tour pearl
Everyone took notice of the envy tour last year so it’s no surprise that hammer is excited to introduce the envy tour pearl with hk22. This ball will give you the same controllability that you loved with the envy tour with a stronger reaction to the end of the pattern. HK22 has been a game changer and it’s evident in this release the misses in pick up in the oil and the misses out bounce off the friction and still continue through the pins.

Envy Tour Pearl
The Envy Tour pearl is a great compliment to the solid! This ball gets down the lane super easy and is very responsive on the backend. Once my Envy solid starts to read the lane early I can go to the pearl and stay in the same part of the lane. If you are looking for a ball to move in and open the lane up then this is the ball for you.

Envy Tour Pearl
I drilled the Envy Tour Pearl with a pin down benchmark layout for me. 50x4.5x70
My PAP is 4” over and 1.0625” up. (Low track player.)
I was really surprised by the angularity of this ball. Super clean but sideways of the back of the pattern.
House shot killer in my opinion. Hope this helps!
By Tommy Parker from Toledo, OH
Pros:
Strong, versatile, smooth, predictable, must have
Cons:
Too strong for dry oil
Best Uses:
Down and in, can play deep with plenty of energy to get back
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Smooth
The Envy Tour Pearl is amazing to say the least. Started off playing down and in and when the lanes broke down I migrated left and could play super deep with it. Really love the reaction of the pattern and can’t say enough good about the ball. Highly recommend to every skill level.

Super Clean and Responsive
For me if felt less angular at first, but throwing it for a while, this ball is super clean through the front part of the lane, reads the mid really well, and still has a pop in the backend. The HK22 is no joke!!!
I can use this when my Envy Tour Solid seems to pick up too soon, switch to this and keep going!!
By Richard from New York
Pros:
Benchmark ball

Medium oil

Best one yet!
If you are looking for a benchmark ball in your bag you've found it. This is a great compliment to the Extreme Envy where it goes longer and snaps much harder on the backend. Unless the Extreme Envy for me, I'm able to use this ball for about two games and it is very versatile. Slower ball speeds, higher rev players or bowlers looking for that ball to get down the lane when you start to see friction, this is it.

Strike Strike Strike
The Envy Tour Pearl is another great ball from Hammer in the Envy line. The Envy Pearl with the HK22 shell is super clean through the heads and very responsive down lane. This ball reminds me a lot of the gold Obsession Tour but with more responsiveness down lane. This ball continues to hook through the pins and will be good on most conditions. Now you even will get a free hoodie when you buy one.

Must Have!
If you are looking for something for dryer lanes or dry in the area you are trying to play on the lanes, the #EnvyTourPearl ball is your choice. It is clean and controllable. Worth to be in your bag!

Hammer Envy Tour Pearl
I have had a chance to work with the brand new Hammer Envy Tour Pearl. The new Envy Tour Pearl features the same low RG/low diff asymmetric core as the original Envy Tour with a chrome color Envy Pearl coverstock with the popular HK-22 base. Box finish is Brunswick Crown Factory Compound. I have drilled one with a layout of 60 x 4 ¾ x 70. I've tried the new Hammer Envy Tour Pearl at box and at fresh 3000 siaair on fresh house shot and on one of our custom scratch league challenge patterns (40 foot, 26 ml, 4:1 ratio)
.
The manufacturer's target was to create a similar type of control motion but for lighter volume patterns. I've sung the praises of the original Envy Tour on any 30+ ml pattern and they have truly been my "best friend" in those environments regardless of pattern distance. In 2 words for the Envy Tour Pearl, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Our house shot and the challenge pattern are in the 25-26 ml range. The Pearl is definitely later and quicker off the spot compared to a similarly drilled Envy Tour but still with that unique Envy Tour control type of motion. I see the Envy Tour Pearl as a great option on more demanding, medium volume fresh patterns and as a potential go to ball when patterns are breaking down and an Envy Tour is losing too much energy. I will say I prefer the Envy Tour at fresh 3000 siaair on both patterns. I have enjoyed great success on tougher high volume patterns with the original Hammer Envy Tour- I cannot wait to try the Envy Tour Pearl on equally demanding patterns but with lighter to medium volumes of oil.
The Hammer Envy Tour Pearl releases on September 21, 2023- see your local pro shop for more information.

Hammer Envy Tour Pearl
Not what I expected, but still really good. The Hammer Envy Tour Pearl has core numbers that scream control ball, but this Pearl reactive cover with HK22 mixed in is really strong, for me anyway. I drilled this at 65 x 4-1/4 x 25. It is clean though the front of the lane, but it is very strong and angular down lane. Mind that I am using this out of box, so it still has the factory compound on it. It goes through the pins very nice, so I do see it getting its turn in the rotation.
