    You do know they've reissued the Hammer Blue urethane ball, right? I looked at one as a second ball.

    I was referring to the pearl version I have an original faball blue hammer in the closet I never liked it, most people preferred the surfaced version I didn't I tried polishing it and it didn't work for me either. They were different formulations on the cover stocks.

    I'm not familiar with the original. But the remake looks very nice, if you need to fill that hole in your arsenal.

    Thanks for the replys everyone. Maybe I'll take it to the ally this week and give it a try. I've bee. Learning to hook the ball with no thumb. I am being taught by a buddy of mine. I could not seen to get my hook good using my thumb. I seem to flick the ball. I need to keep my wrist curved and the ball at 10 o'clock. Also my approach needs some work. Most likely I'll end up selling it. Is it worth much?

    The guy who drilled it at the center where I bought it, owns the center I go to now. I'd try to have him redrill it for me, just to see if he remembers it from all those years ago...
