Product Description
Hammer Blacklist Bowling Ball
The Hammer Blacklist stands out by blending in. A black pearl shell and black logos give it a clean, all-black look unlike anything else in the Hammer lineup. Its reaction on the lanes is anything but quiet.
The Blacklist uses the HK22 – Cohesion Pearl coverstock, the pearl version of the cover on the Black Widow 3.0 Dynasty. It comes from the factory at 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair with Factory Compound. It gets easy length through the front of the lane, saves energy for the backend, then responds hard as soon as it finds friction. The result is a clean, angular skid/flip motion with a strong, continuous turn through the pins.
At the center is the new Stacked LED symmetric core, based on Hammer's popular LED core shapes. It gives a stable, predictable roll that sets up the sharp move downlane. Hammer says the Blacklist is more defined than the Hammerhead Pearl and more angular and aggressive downlane than the Deep Ocean Vibe. That makes it a strong angular pearl option for medium oil house shots and for when the lanes begin to transition.
