Description
A Purpose-Built Urethane Alternative With More Flare
About the NU 2.0
The Hammer NU 2.0 is Hammer’s entry in the NU, or Not Urethane, category, a purpose-built alternative for tournament bowlers as urethane faces increasing restrictions. It pairs the symmetric LED Resin Core with the NU Active coverstock, delivering controlled, readable motion with more flare than traditional urethane on dry to medium oil.
The NU 2.0 reads the lane gently and predictably like urethane, but it is tuned to create noticeably more flare than urethane or other NU options. That extra flare gives it a stronger midlane and a more readable shape while keeping the controlled, on-line motion competitive players rely on for short and broken-down patterns.
Understanding the Hammer LED Resin Core and Hammer NU Active
Hammer built the NU 2.0 as a purpose-built urethane alternative with more flare than traditional urethane. Specifically, the symmetric LED Resin Core posts a 2.586 RG and a low .027 differential, numbers that produce controlled flare and a smooth, on-line motion, while the NU Active cover at a 2000-grit finish reads the lane gently like urethane but with more midlane flare. As a result, it delivers controlled, readable motion on dry to medium oil. The per-weight specifications are listed below.
A High-RG Symmetric Core Tuned for Controlled Flare
At the heart of the NU 2.0 is the symmetric LED Resin Core. At 15 lb it measures a high 2.586 RG and a low .027 differential, numbers that produce controlled flare and a smooth, on-line motion. The high RG keeps the ball clean through the fronts, while the differential provides more flare than most urethane and NU options.
That extra flare is what sets the NU 2.0 apart from traditional urethane: a stronger, more readable midlane while keeping the controlled motion the category is known for. As a symmetric core, it reads the lane the same way shot after shot.
A Not Urethane Cover That Reads Like Urethane With More Flare
The NU 2.0 wraps that core in Hammer’s NU Active coverstock at a 2000-grit finish. NU stands for Not Urethane: the cover reads the lane gently and predictably, much like urethane, so the ball holds a controlled line on dry to medium oil and short patterns where a strong reactive ball would over-hook.
What separates the NU 2.0 from traditional urethane is flare. The NU Active cover creates noticeably more flare than urethane or other NU options, for a stronger midlane and a more readable, repeatable shape. As urethane faces increasing tournament restrictions, the NU 2.0 gives competitive bowlers a purpose-built, rule-friendly alternative. Adjust the surface at your pro shop to fine-tune the control.

Who This Ball Is Right For
✓Tournament Players: A purpose-built urethane alternative for dry to medium oil as urethane faces restrictions

Good to Know Before You Buy
·Control over raw hook: The lower differential means moderate total hook. For maximum board coverage on heavy oil, step up to stronger equipment.
·Ships sanded for traction: The 2000 Grit finish is built to grip in oil. Polish it for more length when the volume drops.
·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.
BowlersMart Tips: Where the NU 2.0 Fits in Your Hammer Arsenal
Where It Fits in Your Arsenal
In the Hammer lineup, the NU 2.0 is the specialty control piece for dry to medium oil and short patterns. Where your reactive balls hook sharply, the NU Active NU 2.0 reads smoothly and holds its line, but with more flare than traditional urethane. Pair it with the Purple and Black Pearl Urethanes when you want even smoother, lower-flare control.
Surface Adjustments
The 2000-grit finish gives the NU 2.0 its controlled, urethane-like read with extra flare. Take the surface lower for more traction, or smooth it up for a cleaner, longer read. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.
Coverstock Care
Wipe the NU Active cover with an approved ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. Keeping the cover fresh preserves the controlled, readable motion that defines the NU 2.0.
