Well, whatever they come out with it will probably have an RG of 2.50 and a diff somewhere between .050 & .060   ....oh wait thats just like all there other stuff.

Maybe well get lucky and they will bring out a lower rg line.

2.50 is pretty much low RG... or were you wanting low diff?

I've looked at that video probably 3 times now...and I can't pick out anything that I don't recognize as an existing ball. Except for maybe the pink one that the dude is holding in the beginning.

Looking at the list, the only thing new I see for Hammer is the Ultimatum...I would guess it's overseas, but who knows.

Jeremy-hopefully when they consulted you for the JEREMY HUNT SIGNATURE LINE you gave them this link and also told them to make it legal...

So we'll see! lol.

On a serious note, I wouldn't mind seeing NOTHING that pushes the Blue Vibe or the Doom out of production. I wouldn't be against a new core of some type though, that might be fun.

I think Hammer NEEDS to introduce something alittle more entry level.  Otherwise, they have every other condition covered.

If Hammer wants to do something really cool- Bring back the Blade reactive series.

IMHO, Hammer really needs a light condition ball, at least smoother alternative to the Cherry Vibe. Maybe a solid with a weaker coverstock that can still take some surface for control purposes but still be played on lighter conditions and late games. I am still dreaming of a "new" urethane piece... would also fit the brand's heritage.

An entry level line with higher RGs would also be an option. On the oilier end, pretty much is covered. If a new ball comes in the higher end of the arsenal, some other would IMHO have to go.

Nice shooting Mr. Hunt!  I have 3/16 forward in my thumb and have for a few years.  You either get rid of the grab or throw the ball through the roof!  I actually have 1/8 palm in my thumb too to help me get around the ball a touch.  You saw my track, it could stand to drop a bit!  My ball might thump less going down the lane.  

One other thing, be careful with roling forward and extending your ring unless you're going to roll the ring pitch away a bit.  If you start feeling it in your elbow or forearm, switch the pitch or drop the ring.

Gotta hit the road to Hillsboro!

Take care,
Brett
