Hammer Purple Solid Bowling Ball


The new Purple Solid Reactive is an exciting and unique ball, just as the Purple Pearl Urethane ball is. The Purple Pearl Urethane ball sells because it performs, and there’s nothing like it in bowling; the Purple Solid Reactive will be successful for the same reason. The new Purple Solid Reactive started as an experiment to see how a strong reactive shell would perform around the high RG and low differential LED core, and the results were remarkable. The core is the exact same as the urethane model; however, the numbers are different due to the density of the reactive shell versus the urethane; this raises the differential and creates more flare, producing a stronger and more angular backend motion. The Purple Solid Reactive will be useful for bowlers who find urethane too weak when others are scoring with it, and higher rev players will love it across a wide range of conditions.

FAQs

What is the difference between the Hammer Purple Solid and the Purple Pearl Urethane?

The Hammer Purple Solid uses a reactive shell instead of urethane, which makes it hook more aggressively and produce a stronger angular backend motion than the urethane version. The Purple Pearl Urethane is known for its smooth, controlled arc, while this reactive version is built for bowlers who want more overall power and hook.

What lane conditions work best for this ball?

The Hammer Purple Solid is rated for medium to light oil conditions. Its reactive coverstock allows it to read the lane earlier and produce a strong arc through the backend, which is ideal when oil starts to break down or when you are bowling on shorter oil patterns.

Is the purple hammer bowling ball a good choice for higher rev bowlers?

Yes, higher rev bowlers (meaning bowlers who put a lot of spin on the ball) will get a lot out of this option. The reactive shell paired with the LED core creates additional flare and a more angular backend reaction, giving higher rev players versatility across a wide range of conditions.

What does the surface finish on this ball do?

The ball ships with a 500 and 1500 Siaair Micro Pad finish, which means the surface is sanded to a duller texture. A duller finish helps the ball grip the lane earlier and produce a smooth, controlled arc rather than a sharp skid-flip motion. You can always have a pro shop adjust the surface if you want different behavior.

Is a reactive bowling ball harder to use than a urethane ball?

Generally, yes. Reactive balls are made from resin and are more sensitive to how they are thrown, which means small changes in your release can noticeably affect the ball's path. Urethane balls offer a smoother, more forgiving reaction. If you are still developing consistency in your throw, urethane may be the easier starting point.
