You have your mediums covered. Look at the Arson Low-flare for drier conditions and pick your poison at the top end. If you want to stick with Hammer there is the Deadly Aim or Black widow legend, Ebonite has the Pivot, or Track has the MX16 if you want to stick under the Ebonite brands.

I feel like the Ebonite brands don't have a true heavy oil ball right now, if I had my pick I would go with the Radical Guru or Brunswick Mastermind

Another vote for the Mastermind.

I am a low rev guy, and throw the Legend effectively on the heaviest patterns.  Much better for me than Mastermind or other hook monster solid.

the black widow legend is definitely a stronger piece.
depends on how strong of a layout and surface used

Low flare is great dry lane ball for sure

OOB BW Legend I don't think can handle a true heavy oil pattern. I love my BW Legend, but when I know I am playing on a heavy pattern I know it's more than likely not the first ball out of my bag. Of course there will be variables (i.e. layout and surface) but I don't think Hammer has a legit heavy oil ball. Maybe they will address it when they announce their next releases.

the only true heavy oil ball is the cold blood and the absolut hook

Also consider the Nail Titanium for drier conditions.

Here are my recommendations:

Heavy Oil from Hammer: Bad Ass (earlier roll than Legend) OR BW Legend with 3000 surface

Drier Lanes:  new Viral (Vibe core with strong pearl cover).


Dave81644 - the new ball coming soon from Hammer has been what I have been waiting for a long time... Can't wait to throw that new beauty & it looks good too!
