Title: New Ball from Hammer?
Post by: djgook on October 11, 2017, 12:09:38 PM
So I am guessing that the new ball that is coming out for Hammer is a Gauntlet Pearl or something in the High Performance i.e Scandal,Gauntlet etc.
My theory is that they came out with something in all other performance line except this one.
I want to know you'll thoughts.

Yes the next hammer ball is the top line. They've advertised it being a top shelf ball for their upcoming product events.

I've debated about going to the seminar in Vegas Nov 3rd

A strong asym pearl with the Gauntlet core or Gas mask (no current Hammer balls with CFI coverstock and gas mask) does seem the most likely but who knows maybe a whole new core or even cover stock.  A CFI Juiced Maxx might be neat.

It should be a a little bit stronger but yeah have a Scandal Pearl already so a hard pass on this one.  I think the Scandal Pearl looks better too but partial to green.

Rebel Yell on the approved list now same colors as one ball shown by Daugherty. I'm a little surprised on the name. I don't think I'd touch that name just to avoid any potential legal issues. I know it's a different industry but i wouldnt have done it

Black Widow Urethane on approved list and was also in Jakob's bag for Open stepladder tonight. Hammer posted a picture and you could see the mass bias on urethane ball

So... an even bigger cored urethane than the Hot Cell. Damnit I was just about to get a urethane too. Might have to wait for this one. Will be interesting to see if it's a thick shell urethane like the Black and Purple Pearl from the Hammer line.

EDIT: It's not. Found the picture, just the typical shell and filler for a ball these days.

I am just not sold on asym urethane period (of course I am not a 2hander either).  Seems like its trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.  You either want back end in which case a weak reactive is the ticket or you don't and are looking for something very predictable going down the lane.  Of course I have spent the last week trying to figure out how best to throw a massively asym drilled More Cash so don't get me wrong I am an asym fan in general.

The Hot Cell looks like it poops going down the lane for most people. I'm into urethane quite a bit so I might have to see how this one rolls.

The Rebel Yell has the Juiced Pearl cover.
