Artic Vibe 

Email drillers@buddiesproshop.com or call 866-717-7772 for drilling questions

The Radioactive Vibe was the boldest-looking Vibe ever produced, and it rolls incredibly. We are kicking the boldness and performance of the line up a notch with the new Arctic Vibe. This Vibe will stand out for its bright white and purple mix, and its screaming backend. Hammer has not produced many two-color Vibes or hybrid options; the Arctic Vibe was strategically developed to enhance the line and not replace the two previously released Vibes since they are still going strong. HK22 – CT Reactive Max is undoubtedly too much cover for this price point, it causes the Arctic Vibe to outperform anything in its category, and that’s ok because Hammerheads will
love it!

Storm Bionic Bowling Ball

• Differential (Diff): 16lbs - 0.050; 15lbs - 0.050; 14lbs - 0.047
• Intermediate Differential (Diff): N/A
• Fragrance: Cherry Cobbler

Additional product information:

The Bionic was engineered to be the ultimate symmetrical solution, an all-encompassing option capable of handling virtually any lane condition. Its proven NRG Hybrid coverstock formulation offers exceptional versatility, easily adjustable to match a wide range of surfaces and styles. At the heart of the Bionic lies a weight block design that simply made sense. The concept stemmed from creating a symmetrical evolution of the Element Max Core found in the Ion Max. After extensive testing, we maintained the integrity of the Ion Max’s performance DNA and “revolved” it into a highly dynamic symmetrical shape. The core features the same stacked ellipse structure that broadens toward the equator, a design strategically intended to be intersected during drilling, thereby increasing differential. As with the Ion Max, core dynamics respond more distinctly across various layouts, giving pro shop operators and bowlers alike more fine-tuned control. The center-heavy mass properties of the weight block help keep the RG low, while the addition of the flip block delivers that signature Storm torque effect off the end of the pattern, an unmistakable motion unmatched in today’s market.

• Intermediate Differential (Diff): N/A
• Fragrance: Frosted Cinnamon Roll

Additional product information:

For nearly 10 years, the premier choice for symmetric performance on medium to heavy oil has undoubtedly been the Phaze II. In order to create a truly worthy counterpart, we decided to keep things as simple as possible. The exact same colors in the Phaze II have been used in the Phaze II Pearl. The only difference is they are in a pearl form. The cover has also been upgraded to TX-25. Through extensive testing, it was obvious the pearl cover needed to be stronger than the solid in order to maximize performance. The Velocity Core perfectly blends an early revving motion with an assertive, yet controllable backend. The Phaze II Pearl broadens the spectrum of performance within the Master line by bridging the gap between the original Phaze II Solid and IQ Tour series.

Paired with the best cover in the game, HK22 – Aggression Hybrid, and a smooth 3000 grit finish, the Tour V1 produces a ball motion that excels on virtually any condition, just like its predecessors. This isn’t just a new Widow—it’s a whole new level of dominance. Meet the must-have of the season.

Built around the all-new Super LED core, this design more than doubles the differential and flare potential while maintaining Hammer’s proven thick-shell technology. The result is a reaction closer than ever to the infamous Purple Pearl Urethane—now delivered in a harder 78D formulation.

Consider it back. As good as ever. Just less restricted by rules and red tape.

• Intermediate Differential (Diff): N/A
• Fragrance: Blueberry Fritter

Additional product information:

The SPI LAB Series introduces the Concept, our next innovative release that reverses the narrative on how core/cover combinations are developed for challenging patterns. The ARC Cover has the highest coefficient of friction (COF) values and is right at the USBC limit on oil absorption time. With the Concept the coverstock acts as both the engine and the tires, while the Radius Weight Block behaves as the traction control - making sure the ball stays on-line to find the pocket. Since the coverstock is so strong and the weight block is very conservative in terms of RG/Diff, the Concept never wants to "lock up" or go forward down the lane. Even though the diff is very low, the cover technology ensures the ball does not carry oil down the lane as urethane is known to do. The cover forces the ball to continue hooking through the pins. The Concept, in the 14 - 16 pound weights, is a two-piece ball with a thick resin shell. The thicker shell raises the coefficient of restitution (COR) which has been shown to create more lively pin action.

The Black Widow 3.0 Dynasty was created to enhance the line by not re-creating what is already on the market but offering something new. The Black Widow 3.0 Dynasty’s HK22 Cohesion Solid cover provides more overall hook than a Black Widow 2.0 and more length and flip compared to a Black Widow 3.0. This is the strongest Black Widow to date, while complementing the big hooking oil balls like Maximum Effect, and Zero Mercy Solid as a ball to step down to. We’ve given you the Black Widow motion you’ve come to expect for 20 years, just more of it.

Full Effect is the next evolution in the Effect line, delivering a bold combination of midlane strength and impressive backend motion that Hammer fans expect. Featuring the proven Effect core wrapped in HK22C² technology, Full Effect fits perfectly between Maximum Effect and Zero Mercy Pearl, offering a unique look that blends power with control. The lower RG allows Full Effect to pick up earlier and roll heavier through the midlane, while the polished cover produces a strong, sweeping backend shape that’s more continuous than the Zero Mercy Pearl. The result is a shiny ball that doesn’t skid past the breakpoint and never misses the spot. With its ability to handle more oil than expected for a polished piece, the Full Effect is one of the strongest shiny pearl balls on the market today, giving bowlers confidence to stay aggressive without sacrificing predictability.

The solid components ensure maximum mid-lane traction, while the pearl additive provides more response through the backend. The result is a tour-level coverstock that offers consistent & continuous motion.

Additional product information:

Sometimes it's just better to let the R&D Team play around with various core and cover combinations and let them see what kind of chaos and havoc they can create. Such was the case with our latest addition to the HP3 Line known as the GREMLIN.

For starters, the R&D creatures found that when they "maxed out" the densities of both the block and the slug, the RG Value and DIFF Value both increased, while the mild asymmetric split lowered just a little, thus creating a cleaner and more angular motion down lane than we had ever seen before from this shape.

And of course they couldn't stop there. They then decided that in order to create a truly mischievous motion, they needed to develop a cleaner, more Versatile and more Responsive pearlized coverstock material, better known as V-R1™ (Versatile-Response - 1st version) to provide a new level of skid and snap that every bowling creature will come to appreciate.

The new Phaze II features both innovative core and coverstock technology, proving again that Storm is the leader in bowling innovation. This fast-revving shape, the aptly-named, supercharged Velocity Core, smooths out the backend reaction without over-reacting and avoids creating an undesirable last-second movement. TX-16 (Traction-X 2016) is what emerges from countless hours in R&D to develop the finest coverstocks on the planet. This solid reactive blend leaves an incredible footprint on the lane. The marriage between the core and the cover produces the strongest motion of any symmetrical Storm ball to date.

Additional product information:

Hammer Spawn was built to do what strong bowling balls often can’t — let you stay aggressive as the lanes transition. Designed as a true high-performance asymmetrical benchmark, Spawn reads the midlane with confidence while maintaining the continuation Hammer is known for. Using the proven Zero Mercy coverstock paired with more stable core dynamics, Spawn creates traction in the oil without the early roll, and going forward, that often happens when players move in. The result is a ball that allows bowlers to open their angles and retain energy and continuation through the pins. Positioned perfectly between the Black Widow 3.0 Dynasty and the Zero Mercy Solid, Spawn adds to the Hammer lineup by combining traction with powerful continuation. It’s the strong ball you can stay in longer, delivering ball motion and scores expected when you buy a Hammer.

It was inevitable, two of the most proven forces in MOTIV history were bound to collide and the result is something truly spectacular. The Venom line, one of the most trusted lines in bowling, pairs with the exact coverstock and color combination from the 2025 Ball of the Year, the Evoke Hysteria. This deadly combination delivers the predictability and control of the Venom line while adding a new level of traction and bite! When the Evoke Hysteria is too strong but you want to stay in the Propulsion MXV cover, this new Venom Hysteria is going to be the perfect ball to complement it. At the center of the Venom Hysteria is the Gear™ Core. Arguably the most proven, low RG, low Differential symmetrical core in bowling. This is the same engine that made the Venom Shock a legend.

The Gear Core revs up quickly and stabilizes in the mid-lane without excessive flare. That means you get strong read and consistency without the ball burning up too early. It picks up when you need it to and keeps driving through the pins. Originally featured on the Evoke Hysteria, The Propulsion MXV pearl coverstock is one of the most successful in recent years.

This Propulsion MXV (Maximum Versatility) formula gives bowlers more length through the front of the lane while maintaining traction in oil and a controlled bite on friction. That balance makes it incredibly versatile across house shots and tournament conditions. This new Venom brings deadly consistency and pure HYSTERIA!

WHEN TO USE:

• • Speed Dominant Bowlers -  Speed dominant players looking for a ball that can serve as a ball down for their Evoke Hysteria will appreciate the Venom Hysteria. The lower flaring symmetrical core should be a great option after the Evoke Hysteria. The Venom Hysteria creates more down lane motion than a Venom Shock, but is not as angular or aggressive as a Nebula, giving the bowler a weaker, but comparable motion to their Evoke Hysteria.
  • Balanced - For the balanced bowlers, the Venom Hysteria is a pearl to have in the bag to fill so many gaps. When Venom Shocks are too early or smooth, the Venom Hysteria will have no problem stepping into that spot. Additionally, when the Nebula is too angular or aggressive and a tamer shape is needed, the Venom Hysteria is ideal. Lower volume or higher fiction patterns that don’t allow for the use of a Venom Shock have now met their match.
  • Rev Dominant - Those whose revs overwhelm their ball speed will appreciate the versatility and control given by combining the Propulsion MXV cover and Gear core. The fast spinning, but low flaring Gear core with a pearl designed to conquer many conditions gives the rev dominant a pearl option they can control when so many other pearls want to be erratic down lane.
