It's one of the best 'house shot' balls i've thrown.  I'm a member of the 'ball of the month' club too, so i've had a few pieces in my day.  Its not super jumpy off the dry and it goes long and flips hard.  It's also good on the pba shots.  I've had good success with it on chameleon and a shortened viper.  Get one for sure!  Do you know where to find new ones?  I'de like to get another.

My daughter throws one, and it's been a great ball so far. It gets down the lane easily, and make a hard turn at the pocket. Carry is great, and revs up and rolls up very well.

For a THS it's great, not so sure it'd be the ticket for anything heavier, but it's not really meant for that anyway.

Check with your local pro-shop, most of the distrubutors have them on close-out since they have been discontinued.

This is one of my favorite balls for the last couple of years.  I get a new ball and always end up throwing the Burn.

One of my favorite Hammer balls ever, though I have to polish it up regularly to get some length out of it and make the flip more predictable.

I love this ball....it''s the first ball out of my bag. Like someone else said, its a great house shot ball. If the shot is a little slick I but this one away but if not then thats the ball I want in my hand. I have mine polished and it gets down the lane really nice and then makes a strong but not jumpy move on the back. If you can get one you should. I am considering getting another one. More ball than I was expecting when I bought it but I''m so glad I did.

get some brunswick ruff buff or Quick Cut in your life.   It'll keep the shine but just enough dull to keep it under control off the spot.

I used 800 abranet with 2000 abralon(very short time on a powerhouse resurfacer) with light polish over the top.  It really tamed down the over under I used to get with this ball.  I do have to hit it with very light polish every 10 games or so to keep it where I want it to be.

I have two of these balls.  With one of them I have 300,300, 250.  The second ball I had 300,300, 177 oops.  This ball is very predictable down lane.  I have had very good reaction on everything from sport to just typical house shot.  Never had to resurface as of yet due the surface we bowl on.  Would not pass on this ball if you can get it for 120-130 drilled as it is an older ball now.  If it still is a 160 ball then I would get the Brawl.

Love mine. Havent used it in a while, may try use it tonight. Very hard move for me down lane. Carry is great and its not too over/under for me. Had a 300 with it last year!
