The newest addition to Hammer’s exceptional line of bowling balls is the Hazmat Solid. This big symmetric solid ball is a standout, bringing a unique core and cover combination not seen since the Dark Web. The wait was worth it. The Hazmat Solid delivers a powerful mid-lane read and smooth continuation, ideal for medium to heavy oil conditions. Its performance shines on medium conditions, offering great length and backend with its symmetric design.

Hazmat Solid will not Disappoint
Drilled my Hazmat Solid with what is becoming my favorite drill 60X4 1/2x25 and this ball is just an awesome compliment to its Hk22 Symtex Hybrid. This ball gives me more when my Scorpion low flare is not enough and I want something to blend the lanes out. It is continuous through the pins and hits harder than a Mack Truck. I love both my Hazmat's because I love strong symmetrical balls that can finish. If you don't have one.... definitely get yourself one ... the surface changes gives you so many options as well.

Hazmat solid
The Hazmat solid is the perfect complement to the Hazmat. This is a big solid that can handle the heavy oil lanes. It rolls early but doesn’t quit on the backend. It responds to surface change very well. I’ve had mine at 1k and 3k.

Hammer Hazmat Solid
The Hazmat Solid is just what I was waiting for. I love symmetric balls and this piece is a welcome addition. For me, it's smooth through the front and aggressive off the friction but predictable. I will enjoy the Hazmat Solid on medium and longer, heavier patterns. It is my biggest ball in my immediate lineup and look forward to using it on regional patterns soon. I

Hammer Hazmat Solid
Introducing the Hammer Hazmat Solid- formally introduced yesterday. The new Hazmat Solid features the same core found in the original Hazmat but this time with a Semtex Solid cover colored in onyx, lime and purple. Box finish is 2000 Siaair. Mine is drilled with my favorite pin down layout, 60 x 5 x 70. I have tried the Hazmat Solid on THS and a variety of sport patterns.
For some of my favorite symmetrical core balls for fresh or for benchmark purposes, I generally like to see lower RG/medium to higher diff balls. I loved the original Track Stealth and the original Brunswick Knock Out. I also had success with the Hammer Dark Web Hybrid. So, when I saw a solid version of the Hazmat, I was very intrigued. I've been looking for a ball with that type of core/cover match up to have strong benchmark symmetrical core options. The Hazmat Solid did not disappoint. It is indeed that heavy rolling strong arc type shape that I was looking for. The video tells the story and truth be told, I missed it a little at the bottom and still slapped the 10 pin. While I haven't tried it yet, I will be trying different surfaces to see the Hazmat Solid's versatility. But I think this is that benchmark look I've been seeking to replace the Stealth for example and I will be looking forward to drilling another one with a pin up layout to create a different shape. I think it will complement some of the stronger asymmetric pieces I have and the weaker symmetric pieces.
The Hammer Hazmat Solid is readily available. See your pro shop for more information.

A great complement to the original Hazmat
The new Hazmat is a great complement to the Original Hazmat. The solid has more overall hook with less downlane reaction.

Big Symmetrical
The Hazmat Solid is just as advertised: A big symmetric ball. I have never had a big symmetric ball, and I am loving this one. In my arsenal, the closest ball to compare it too is the Black Window 3.0. Both balls start to pick up at the same spot down lane, but the Black Window 3.0 is much more violent off the spot. The Hazmat Solid is much smoother and more continuous. The Hazmat Solid gives me a great look when I need more control.

Hazmat Solid
Okay, I know you have all heard this before. This ball is truly amazing. I drilled it strong as I have been doing with all my equipment and it goes through the front part of the lane smooth and picks up in the mids with plenty of stored energy at and through the pins.
It is a big compliment to my Hazmat pearl and my Envy Tour.
