Hammer Bowling Gear

It all started with a single black ball called the Hammer with a urethane shell twice as thick as other bowling ball makers were using. The result? It hit harder and knocked down more pins! This was the first in a long line of no-nonsense high-performance bowling balls for serious bowlers. It's still true today. "Nothing hits like a Hammer."

Hammer Anger Solid
Hammer Anger SolidHere's my take on the new Hammer Anger Solid. The Anger Solid features a modified Infamous symmetrical core wrapped by a Semtex Solid coverstock colored in black, gray and red.

The new Anger Solid accompanies the original Anger released by Hammer toward the end of 2024. The original Anger was designed to be a quick response pearl for lighter volumes of oil. The new Anger Solid has not only a solid cover but a…
