Hide your kids, hide your wife - The Hammer Bad Ass bowling ball is here to smash pins and take names!

The Hammer Bad Ass uses the all-new Juiced Solid coverstock, which maintains its overall reaction shape for a longer period of time (this isn't a "one-season" ball!). The high friction values of the Juiced Solid lead to a drastic motion at the breakpoint which is what all bowlers crave. The 500, 2000 Grit Abralon with Factory Polish still delivers a motion usually seen on matte or sanded balls due to this high friction value.

Combine this highly aggressive coverstock with the Spheroid core (look familiar? It's based off of the Blue Hammer's core). This core has specially designed grooves along 4 quadrants that deliver a low RG, medium-high differential for a motion that digs deep and flare hard, making it the perfect go-to for even the heaviest oil. The Spheroid is poured with Flex Resin and surrounded by a Carbon Fiber outer core, allowing it to transfer maximum energy to the pins AND offer the industry-leading 3-Year Warranty.

The Hammer Bad Ass will dig in at the transition and make a huge motion to the pins. Everything from the core design, materials, and coverstock is chosen to do what Hammer does best - leave your opponents in the dust. Heavy oil? Nothing's too heavy for the Hammer Bad Ass.

Leaps in coverstock technology only happen every so many years. Juiced Solid represents one of those leaps. The all-new Juiced Solid creates unmatched friction at the breakpoint, which is what bowlers of all styles crave. Juiced Solid allows the Bad Ass to maintain its reaction shape for a longer period of time compared to traditional reactive covers. This is possible due to the high friction values of Juiced Solid. Even when polished, this cover offers an extremely high RA value, which is crucial in creating bad ass motion at the breakpoint.

Spheroid Core
Hammer Spheroid Core

The Spheroid core has many of the dynamic properties found in some of the most successful core shapes in the history of bowling. Arguably, the most successful shape in history was used in the original Blue Hammer. This design was the founding premise behind our new Spheroid shape. The large spheroid was dynamically engineered with large grooves strategically placed along four quadrants on the perimeter in order to lower the RG, while maintaining a medium to high differential for ideal ball reaction. The Spheroid maximizes the friction enhancing properties of the all-new Juiced Solid cover. As always with Hammer, we’ve poured the Spheroid core with Flex-Resin and the outer core with Carbon Fiber in order to create the hardest hitting and most durable ball possible.
