Hammer Obsession Tour Bowling Ball Video Review By RadiGal

Christina Lamoureux – Radigal 

Quick review of the Hammer Obsession Tour using a demo ball.

This video is one of eight short reviews using Brunswick brands demo balls. This is not a hook the whole lane or strike all the time video, but rather what an average bowler sees in ball motion on different parts of the lane when using the Hammer Obsession Tour. Since these are demo balls, everything has a neutral drilling and is at box surface and/or has a touch of lane shine on it already.

The Obsession Tour features the same core design as the regular Obsession minus the flip disc. On a typical house shot, I could play a similar line as I did with the Obsession, but I was able to keep my angles a little more closed. I was also able to play further outside into the friction without sacrificing control. Overall, the Obsession Tour has slightly less hook and a smoother response to friction than the regular Obsession. The benchmark motion of the Obsession Tour makes it a great ball to start with to read the pattern. This ball has made several successful appearances at the 2021 USBC Open Championships, including a 300 game, because of its moderate flare and controllability on tougher patterns.

Hammer Obsession Tour Bowling Ball

The Obsession and Obsession Tour have the same core shape; however, the Tour edition differential is .016 points lower, creating less flare, less hook, and a more controllable reaction compared to the regular Obsession.

OBSESSION TOUR

The Obsession Tour will create a unique reaction that will allow many players to stand closer to the dry and be great for higher rev players. It uses an updated version of the Tour cover found on the Web Tour balls. Featuring DOT technology, which allows you to drill anywhere which makes this ball even tougher.

Hammer recommends Tough Scrub to keep your Obsession Tour performing its best!
