The colors of the Lime Green & Gold colors looks sharp going down the lane and Hybrid really performs great on the medium-lighter lane patterns. This ball definitely fits in between the Viral Solid and Viral Pearl. For those that did not throw any of the Viral balls yet, but have used any of the Vibes back in the day, this one reminds me very close to the original Cherry Vibe, but a touch earlier. With the Hybrid coverstock, it blends out the over/under while providing easy length with a controllable ball motion in the backends. I am extremely impressed with what I seen in this ball so far.
I think the Viral Hybrid will be a great addition to the bag for those looking for a ball to control the midlanes while turning the corner too. The coverstock really makes this ball shine compared to the other Virals that have been released to date. Very versatile ball… You will be impressed!
With the Carbon Fiber outter core and the new 3 year warrantee that Hammer provides for this ball, this is the BEST bang for your buck!
