Hammer’s a very well known brand name on the professional bowling circuit. Its brand ambassadors from among the professional bowlers include Patrick Allen, Tony Reyes, Doug Kent, and Billy-O. Though known primarily for the bowling balls, Hammer also produces bags and accessories for bowling balls.

Those who are familiar with the brand might also know that it’s owned by Ebonite International which is a privately owned company with an international presence. The company however, isn’t limited to just the Hammer brand but also includes Ebonite (a bowling ball giant that leads the industry), OPTYX, Robby’s, Galaxy Lanes and VanTech, all of which are related to the bowling industry and sport.

Ebonite’s acquisition of the Hammer line of products is fairly recent. The manufacturing unit where these “high performance” bowling balls are made is situated in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Through Ebonite’s international network, Hammer bowling balls are distributed both within the US market as well as the international market.

There are several famous Hammer bowling balls that one can think of. The various series that have gained vast popularity with bowling enthusiasts include the Black Widow Series, the Raw Hammer Series, the “Blue” Hammer, the Hawg Series, The Blade Series and the No Mercy Series.

Other series that form part of the Hammer product line-up include the Jigsaw Series, The Sauce Series, the Vibe Series and the Razyr Series.

The Jigsaw bowling ball is the latest release from this brand name. The colors on the ball are black and white though you might believe you’re looking at purple tints depending on the way the ball is positioned.

With Jigsaw, Hammer and Ebonite claim to have made a “breakthrough” in terms of “bowling ball motion.” It’s available in various weights – 16, 15, 14, 13, and 12.
