It’s always fun to get in front of the ball return. Oh, that’s got to hook a lot. Olay, Olay, Olay, Olay. Welcome back, hammer fans. Maximum Bob here to present to you the new Maximum Fit. Very partial to the name on this one, as you can see. Uh, but this one here, big bowling ball shell-wise, very, very, very aggressive. Same chord numbers as you had with the special effect, a 247 with an 050 and an 017 intermediate diff. Um, big thing on this one is this thing’s got some teeth. Uh, so, you know, this ball’s going to hook up a little bit earlier. Um, let’s take a look, see what it does. So, let’s have fun. So, going to start out 25 here. Just see what it does. That ball’s strong. I’m throwing that ball pretty firm. And that thing is very strong. As you can see, that thing was revving early. Made a strong spot out of out of the strong shape out of the spot down lane right there at the break point about 40 ft. Um, pretty big footprint on this guy, too. So, it looks like this is going to be those ones where if you need a little bit of love, try to get this ball to, you know, definitely grab and go. This one will be in your ballpark. Well, it’s repeatable. Ring 10. Ring 10. That’s good. Um, I’m throwing that ball pretty firm and that thing is still reading. So, the shell is aggressive on this, which you would expect, especially in that effect line between the Pearl, the special, and now this one. You know, they’re going to get some strong shells, and this ranks right up there with it. Um, so firmer shots. Ring 10, ring 10. Not too thrilled about the carry. So, let’s start moving left. See what we got. So, I’m going to move about I’m probably going to move about four left on this one. Maybe a touch softer. Not much difference really, though. Oh, there we go. Give that ball a little time and it moves. Uh, really happy with how aggressive that thing is reading the lane. I mean, sometimes you get in those big bowling balls that you get force left and it doesn’t feel like it wants to tip cuz it’s using its energy so much. I think the shell on this one’s grabbing so much that it’s actually allowing it to be a little bit more continuous and not trying to wait so much to get that energy used. So, that was pretty good. That was four left. Let’s go ahead and move another four. So, we’re going to about 33 now. That’s nice. That is nice. Yeah, I don’t get to throw big as in balls too much that actually re, you know, will actually maintain its energy when I get it into the oil. Usually they use their energy before it gets out. Then it’s just spent off and done. This one’s still motoring. Got a pretty big footprint on it, too. So, you know, this thing is going to grab. Um, you know the rule. Let’s just keep going left till it says no. 33 37. Let’s go to 42. It’s always fun to get in front of the ball return. Oh, that’s got to hook a lot. Olay. Olay. Olay. Olay. That was awesome. Didn’t expect that ball to recover at all. Actually, you know, missing right with a big ace in. That ball should rail. Miss the hip in right. That one didn’t. So, yeah. You know what? Let’s keep going. It says maximum on it. Let’s just keep going. Let’s move another seven or eight. Okay. We’ll just keep going until again says no. All right. Uh that’s a that’s about 50, I think, give or take. Oh, and we found our limit. We found our limit. And apparently here it doesn’t like to be launched too much because that that thing looked like a double dribbled. So, all right, let’s move back to the right. Let’s go back to the wheelhouse being firm. Let’s get out of here on a good note and we’ll talk to each other later. Oh, that’s good. Most people know I’m not really happy with big asymmetrical bowling balls, but this one, the shell complements it really well. I like the aggressiveness. I like how I know that when I’m sending it, that ball is going to read the length. I know that for sure. So, to me, this ball is all in. So, remember guys, Hammer’s new Maximum Effects coming out. Until next time, have a good one. Bye.

It’s So Good on the fresh 🔥
I'm thinking about making this Maximum Effect as a game 1 or super heavy oil pattern ball. I am a DIEHARD Hammer fan and have been my whole life. This looks very nice for a guy like me that doesn't get a ton of revs. Keep up the great work Hammer!
I knew this ball would compliment your name, lol
That was impressive!
Should make a limited run of Maximum Bob versions… this isnt WWE.. spi doesnt own thr rights…
Don't drop this ball
We roll the ball very similarly. How do you have it drilled?
Maximum bob, Maximum effect. Lol!
"that's about 50 I think" 😂😂😂
The goat 🐐
Haven’t watched the video yet, but I know for sure the pins are not going to have a good time
Not suppose to be a strikefest……………Do that on 60 feet of oil and impress us!
