I've never heard much of anything from people on the Amp, Spike, or Wrench. Very little on the Absolut Curve. I'm not quite sure what the reason is... For me, I've seen a lot of the Arson series, I mean you can pretty much make an arsenal out of the Arson balls. Also, majority of the press has gone to the Taboo's and Blood series

The Absolut Curve is a great ball, I love mine. And you are right the Arson series is a great line and really versatile, the Low Flare is SO versatile and the Hybrid is a great piece.

Just wondered about the Amp, ball has been out a couple of months but not much fan fair..

I've drilled a couple and I do mean 2, there just isn't a huge fan fair for Hammer's High Performance let alone Hammer in general in my area.  I couldn't tell you why. I like the look of it, a strong change of direction without being quite as angular as the First Blood. It's about 4/2 inside of the FB and maybe two feet earlier.

Interesting, I thought it was probably sooner than the FB, just wondered what other people were seeing (if anything). Speaking of looks, I really like the look from the Absolut Curve, nice reaction smooth with some punch on the back.

I am a Hammer staffer and the Amp for some reason has not gotten much fan fare. This ball may be the smoothest asymetric piece in the market. This ball really clears the front clean and smooth and it hooks the same way, smooth with great continuation. This ball really goes through the pins hard. People with lower tracks will especially like this ball. This may be my favorite asymetric piece in a long while.

Agreed with KingFactor... I was one a few that did not care for the Gas Mask core, but LOVE the Amp cover/core matchup. I like to use a lot of symmetrical balls due to my rev rate... Hoping for a pearlized Amp in the future????

This ball is definately a great rolling piece in the Hammer line with more continuation in the backends...
