Hammer Ocean Vibe Bowling Ball Features:
The new Ocean Vibe should be a very popular release; it performs as you’d expect from a Vibe and looks fantastic. Next to the Black Widow, the Vibe has been the most anticipated and requested ball to bring back. Hammer spent a considerable amount of time on this Vibe to ensure it’s the ball Hammer fans would love, and they are  pretty sure they nailed it!

This ball, for this price point? RIDICULOUS. This is pristine low end reactive ball reaction wrapped in a silky smooth blue color. Super clean through the fronts. Never over reads the midlane, and when it comes off the spot? Off with authority!!! I absolutely love this ball. I see a lot of score coming out if this piece

The Vibe series makes it return and it sure is a great one. Great shelf appeal and even better performance. This symmetrical pearl floats through the fronts with ease and shows great continuation off the end of the pattern. This vibe will get the most use on high friction surfaces and light to medium oil patterns for me

The vibe is back! The ocean vibe is a ideal light-medium oil Pearl ball for me. As with most vibe it’s predictable motion makes this an easy ball to throw on shorter or dryer conditions. The pearl cover stock let’s the vibe get down the lane with ease even when they are burnt up but the core gives me a quick change of direction and plenty of continuation. If you loved the old vibe line or have a hole in your bag for a shinny light oil ball you should definitely consider added the ocean vibe. Also worth noting the colors pop very well on this ball and good shelf appeal is never a bad thing.

Ocean Vibe – the classic Vibe line is back. Great ball for those medium to dry lane conditions. Strongest backending Vibe released to date. Best used when the lanes are breaking down later in league or towards the end of tournament blocks. Very clean through the front part of the lane strong reacting motion down lane.

Amazing Price Point and a Totally Underestimated Ball….The New Hammer Ocean Vibe
The Ocean Vibe has to be one of the most underestimated balls from Hammer. This ball is predictable, clean and provides any bowler consistency on various lane conditions. The Ocean Vibe works very well on medium to dry lane conditions. The pearl coverstock allows any bowler to get the ball down lane, even when the heads are pretty dry or totally gone. This ball is very good and allows bowlers at all levels to see the ball shape and make adjustments. As this is my first Vibe I have ever thrown, I am totally impressed on how clean and predictable this ball really is. I strongly recommend this ball to bowlers at all levels. You will not be disappointed on this ball’s performance.

Blue, Red, Black, Whatever the color, this Ocean Blue vibe continues to impress. Reads a little earlier than some of the others i’ve had, but overall very angular for me and it has a steady spot in my bag. Also, this vibe takes surface adjustments really well. Some of the OG vibes, once I cracked the box finish, I could never get the motion I was looking for on the lane. This is one, great adjustment from Brunswick on the playability factor!

The Vibe Line Has Really Been Popular Throughout The Years. This New Ocean Vibe Has Similar Characteristics To The Older Vibes But This New One Has A Little More Backend Drive Through The Pins. This Ball Is Great For Medium To Low Volume Oil Patterns. This Ball Keeps You Out Of Troubles And Keeps You In Play When The Lanes Are Dry And Hooking Alot. The New Ocean Vibe Has Great Shelf Appeal And Really Looking Good Down Lane And Easy To See The Rotation The Ball Makes. Great For House Shots And Tournament Bowlers. I Know When The Lanes Are Hooking I Can Definitely Move Right With This Ball And Keep The Pocket In Play. Make Sure To Go Visit Your Local Pro Shop Operator Today And Order One!

As a fan of the vibe line, this one was no exception. It was bit stronger than I anticipated, but it’s been a staple in my bag for any medium volume or length pattern or shorter. When I’ve needed a predictable motion that clears the heads relatively cleanly, this is my go-to. It has shined up relatively quickly, but cleaning the cover has helped it maintain the reaction. Don’t expect a significant backend with this ball, but a smoother motion.
