"You've heard the stories. You know the legend." Although it has the same good looks and bad manners as the original Hammer Blue, Big Blue is a juiced up version of its predecessor - designed to dominate in today's slicker environment. Driven by the revolutionary Gas Mask core, the first High Mass Bias core ever used in a Hammer ball, Big Blue employs an all-new core design that earns its lethal name. It also gets extra juice from a dual particle veneer specifically formulated for Big Blue. And only a legend could offer such a strong mid-lane continuation in medium to heavy oil.
