#hammer obsession

I bowl as one of the younger members of a ladies’ bowling league with my mother-in-law, who is a fantastic bowler, even in her late 70s. She has kicked my ass every Monday morning, for the last three years (with a break for the pandemic, but still.) I am working my way to being a better bowler, and finally have an average that’s higher than my handicap.

In an effort to redeem myself, and to feel worthy enough to bowl with this badass on the same badass team, it’s been suggested that I level up to a heavier ball, now that I can actually hit something.

So while shopping online for a new ball, this one popped up randomly in my Google search. I’ve been bowling for a while now, and have never even heard of Hammer bowling balls. They are apparently under the corporate umbrella of Brunswick, after Brunswick bought Ebonite.

HAMMER. REDEMPTION.

It even comes in blue and yellow. 💙💛😳

I don’t even care that all that’s left is the 15-pounder, and all I can probably handle is a 12.

I’m going to learn to throw this motherfluffer. Hard.

Wait, there’s more:

There’s a Hammer Obsession, which would coordinate nicely with my bowling shoes. 🖤💖

But I like the sound of a

✨HAMMER REDEMPTION✨

much better.
