Hammer Phobia & Ebonite GB2 Phenom Pearl 1/10/17

The Phobia video makes it look very similar to the C300 Impulse

Also see on the approved list C300 Tyrant Pearl & Side Swipe Solid. Hammer Guantlet and Track Mako.

that Gauntlet is going to be a beast. My PSO in Vegas was able to catch the videos of that ball rolling, and he's drooling at the mouth over that ball. All that he could tell me is that it is Hammer's next HP ball.

That had me worried as they just brought out both Scandals (yes, the Solid Scandal is coming up on a year old), but from what he mentioned, the Gauntlet is going to be asymmetrical, so this would basically be replacing the Dark Legend Solid, as we're getting a different shape altogether with the Scandal and it being symmetric.

so far, that's all I've heard: Assymetric, HP ball, replacing Dark Legend Solid.

BL.

Now to see how it compares with the Jackal Ghost to determine my new Asym HP ball. I would think there would be some media about it shortly if people are seeing it being rolled already. I'm guessing it'll be announced with the Mako.

Heya gang... In regards to the Phobia, I have thrown this for the past 2 weeks and very impressed with the motion of this ball. I love the Scandal Pearl, but for me, this ball labors a bit too much... this is where the Phobia really shines... this ball can handle about the same amount of volume, but it is angular in the backends.

This is a great symmetrical ball that has some angle on it. Really compliments the Legend series and fills a motion that I was looking for in our lineup. I was skeptical about this release as I thought this would roll too close to the Scandal Pearl, but well done by Hammer on this new release.  Most styles will like what they see in the Phobia.

Regarding the Gauntlet... I have heard that it will be a Assymetrical ball and will be strong rolling like the Tyrant / Mako motion...  Actually looking forward to this release!

Side Swipe Solid, Tyrant Pearl, Maverick Pearl, Mako, and Kinetic up on their respective sites now.

Only ball left is the Guantlet.

Track made my day. I thought the Kinetic Emerald would be an overseas release. I still kick myself for selling my 505c2

That Gauntlet core looks like the Gas Mask core on steroids. Though, I'll be staying with the Scandal and Scandal Pearl, though that Maverick Pearl looks interesting.
