This ball looks like something Hammer has been missing. The FB looks like it has a Storm-type backend reaction.
In the bag:

Roto Grip Magic Gem
Motiv Primal Shock
Hammer Ocean Vibe

I have to admit: that ball looks sick. Looking at how Jeremy is able to open up the lane and tween while he is cranking/ripping the cover off the ball, that tells you how much skid/flip that ball has. IV has always had a nice wheeling shot, but again, this ball looks sick recovering at the break point.

If this ball can make a stroker or full roller get motion out of the back end, that tells you this ball has some serious backend.

Though (shot across the bow to Storm here) it does look more Virtual Gravity-ish (which depending on where the colours cross, looks blah), at least Hammer is making their colours look prettier down the lane. ;)

The motion on this ball looks pretty impressive! Colors are nice, too.

Scott Norton used this bowling ball to win the 2013 WSOB Scorpion pattern. I think you can see this event on YouTube.

So is EBI trying to bring back the sheen finish in order to compete with the Rough Buffs and Step 2s of the world? Not that I'm complaining. I just want to see it on a Track piece.

Sheen finish?
The stock surface is 500 grit, 1500 grit + Factory Finish polish.

You guys didn't get enough backend with the Jet Black? So you want more washouts and 9 pins?  ;D ;D ;D

My bad, I must have misread that.
