We knocked it out of the park!
Hammer has been the undisputed urethane champion in bowling since the Purple Pearl Urethane’s introduction, and we are excited to carry that title through the new phase of harder urethane bowling balls. Since the PBA announced its rule change, only allowing urethane balls to be 78D or harder, our chemists and lab rats have been working hard producing the now famed NU Blue Hammer and the new 78 hardness Black Pearl Urethane. The Black Pearl Urethane is reminiscent of the Purple Pearl Urethane, but the hardness makes it a little cleaner and hooks slightly less overall than the Purple Pearl. Our pros who have tested the Black Pearl Urethane see this ball four boards less with their feet and two boards with their eyes and were able to use straighter angles through the front part of the lane.
Our pros have used the Black Pearl Urethane at events already and have been very successful with it. While few believed we could deliver performance similar to the Purple Pearl Urethane with a harder cover, our pros have proven that we knocked it out of the park with this new 78D urethane ball.

This one blew me away!
With some of the rule changes and an aging Purple Hammer, I decided to get this one over the NU. I walked it out from the pro shop freshly drilled and onto some burned up house shot and this ball just threw itself!! Shot 10 games with it moving a total of 15 boards with my feet to see where the limits were and shot 220s max and only threw a couple under 200 (I used it as a spare ball but it was a little much). The fact that I could use a little speed control and play from the 7 board to the 21 board with my feet and find the pocket really sold me on carrying a urethane to leagues again. I rarely use urethane, but this ball feels so much smoother than my old Purple. I would say, this is a must-have in the arsenal!!

Hammer 78D
Hammers new Black Pearl Urethane 78D might not be a purple but it’s proving to be a great piece that meets the new PBA standards for urethane. This ball is a little cleaner through the fronts and slightly less overall hook form a purple allowing for straighter angles through the front part of the lane. This ball has already proven it can get the job done at various PBA events this year.

A Staple for Tournament Bowlers
If you love the Purple Hammer, you'll probably love the 78D. If you don't love the Purple Hammer because it's too strong for you, you'll definitely love the 78D! The harder surface sees a little more length than a purple, and it does seem to shine up a little quicker (but slower than any other urethane on the market). As someone who prefers to stay straighter with urethane, I find myself using the 78D a ton!

Smooth and dependable. An essential ball for tournament bowlers and a great choice for any level bowler.

Black Pearl Urethane 78D
I was extremely pleased with the reaction of the new Black Pearl Urethane 78D. I don't use Urethane very often, however I drilled this piece for the PBA50 Caveman Bowl Classic to have to blend out the Wayne Webb pattern. This piece did not disappoint as I used it for 17 of the 21 games of the tournament. I was able to play far right and the ball never quit on me. It has a much better reaction for me than the purple. Thank you Black Pearl Urethane for helping me win PBA Regional title #5. Get yours today, you will not be dissatisfied. It has a special place in my arsenal.
