Unlike reactive resin, urethane creates a smooth, even arc instead of a sharp snap off the spot.

👉 Translation: Less overreaction. More control. Better accuracy.

💜 Why Bowlers Love Purple Hammer

The Purple Hammer has built a reputation for being one of the most dependable control balls ever made—especially when reactive equipment is simply too much ball.

When the lanes get tricky… this comes out.

⚠️ Good to Know

• Not a reactive resin ball don’t expect huge backend flip
• Best for control, not maximum hook
• Performs best on dry to medium oil
• Ships undrilled – professional drilling recommended

💡 Pro Shop Tip

If your reactive balls are jumping too hard off friction, missing the pocket, or creating over/under… urethane can completely calm your shape down.

Sometimes less hook = more strikes.
