Hammer Extreme Envy
Witness the power and precision of the Hammer Extreme Envy—where the lane transforms into your playground with a big hook and relentless backend action. While the inaugural Envy conquered heavy oil, the demand for an enhanced backend kick was met with Ebonite's ingenious response: the all-new Extreme Envy. Bridging innovation and performance, the Envy's signature cover embraces the infusion of carbon fiber in the Extreme edition. The result? A heavy oil dynamo that refuses to surrender on the backend. The redesigned core, a variant of the Launcher core with a slightly lower RG, harmonizes seamlessly with the Envy CFI cover, producing a synergy that defies limits. Prepare for the extreme in every sense—extreme satisfaction, extreme results. When an abundance of hook is your need, Extreme Envy stands ready to redefine your game, leaving you exhilarated and empowered every step of the way.

Hammer Extreme Envy
Recently, I had a chance to work with the Hammer Extreme Envy- one of the brand new Envy pieces in the Hammer line. The new Extreme Envy has a modified Envy core (lower RG) with a carbon fiber infused Envy solid cover finished at 2000 siaair. I went with a little stronger layout with the Extreme Envy than what I used in the original Envy- 50 x 4 1/4 x 20. I tried at it box surface on one of the custom designed patterns for our Tuesday night scratch league. (40 foot, 26 ml, 4:1 ratio)
The manufacturer's intent was to create a ball for higher volumes of oil and that had a little more motion off the end of the pattern than the original Envy. I think Hammer hit the target in terms of their stated goal. I used the original Envy with success during PBA league this summer on the 2023 PBA Shark pattern. I think from what I saw on Friday, I would have had equal if not a little more success with the Extreme Envy just because I do see a little more motion off the spot. Either way, the environment in which this new Envy will see the best chance of success will be on high volumes of oil because the core/cover combination definitely wants to read early. I believe the Extreme Envy can handle various pattern distances as long as there is sufficient volume in the pattern. On the above pattern, it's clear how early the ball wants to read, especially due to the medium volume of oil. Because this pattern, notwithstanding the 40 foot distance, wants to play much further out, the Extreme Envy definitely blends out the fresh and doesn't jump off the spot. Personally, I feel this ball will be in play for me on patterns with 30ml of oil or more. I will also try adjusting surface to allow me to try it on a little lighter volume of oil.
The Extreme Envy is currently readily available. See your local pro shop for more information.
