Hope they'll make a new heavy oil ball too. Or medium to heavy ball.

Heavy Oil ball - Try the Scandal... Strongest ball in the Hammer brand!

I like the colors and finally a hybrid coverstock to the Viral / Vibe core!

Funny that they show the viral solid in the mid performance section and the hybrid in the low to mid performance section. Lot of people I have talked to have said the solid is a lot more ball than advertised.

Hammer Scandal = darn near strongest piece on the planet
if you watch the PBA league, alot of them are using it
Looks like Dom left Storm for that ball.........

I have the Paradox, threw the Scandal at a demo days
couple staffers I know just laughed at me, 25 to 5 to even have a chance
such a beast

IMO, mine only
Scandal is an arrow or more stronger than my Paradox
but its stronger further down the lane, where as the Paradox is earlier and continuous

How is the Bad Intentions Hybrid?
I'm thinking of getting at least one new Hammer ball for the next season (after the summer break).
Thinking of either getting one more Scandal and one of the mid high performance balls. Probably the Dark Legend.
But the Bad Intentions ball hooks earlier I've read, and I want to try such a ball out. But my PSO will drill it so that it hooks a bit later.

The BI is pretty early and its really not the drilling that will make it hook later
the surface will dictate when, where, how much it hooks
the layout is part of it, but not as much as the surface prep

anyways the BI hybrid is a better piece IMO, gets down the lane quite well as opposed to the BI

The BI is very good on tougher patterns with volume IMO

If they don't release a new heavy oil ball before the next season start, then I'll buy a BIH and a Dark Legend.
Then I'll have Scandal and those 2.
If the alleys we play the most at chew the Scandal up too much, I'll buy a new Scandal instead of the Dark Legend. I need agressive balls. My style is weak,

Hammer said on FB: We will be announcing new product this Summer in June and July. Thanks for the question.

They've moved the other Viral to the same performance lvl as the new Viral.
