Hammer Hot Sauce Vs Storm 2d
« on: February 03, 2009, 02:12:49 AM »
I am going to purchase one of these balls, I am trying to figure out the differences in real world. I know the spec sheets say the Hot
Sauce is longer, and the 2d should handle more oil, but I am looking for some real world comparisons (somebody that has actually seen or thrown both). And am I missing something, or is there no videos of the hot sauce pearl other then the one on the hammer website!

How do the spec sheets say that. I would think a ball(Hot Sauce) with a much lower RG would be alittle earlier making it alittle better in oil being that both have fairly strong pearlized coverstocks. But haven't throw either so take my opinion on this with a grain of salt.

The Hot Sauce will handle more oil and be much more angular off friction. The 2nd D can handle a fair amount of oil as well but is a bit smoother than the HS off the spot. I think the 2nd is a hair longer

The Second Dimension is a little oil-allergic out of the box simply because of the super shiny 1500 polish finish Storm loves to use.  If you bring the surface down a little, the ball suddenly gains a lot of strength.  With a little surface on it, I've found that it is the strongest pearl I've ever thrown.  Unfortunately, I have yet to see anybody throwing a Hot Sauce, so it's hard to judge it.  However, I can tell you that once you adjust the surface the Second Dimension can definately handle oil, and can actually be pretty early rolling if you decide to completely forego polish and just use a higher grit sanded surface.

Hot sauce was longer for me but more back end, The HS skates when too much head oil formy liking so I hit it with white pad and boom stronger ball now than even my sauce with more back end. Still goes nice and long and pounds the ho very nicely.

2D is smoother but covers as many boards easily and hits better overall, shot 4 230's in a row with the 2D the first time out with it.

Both 4 1/2 pin over ring and cg below 3 inches roughly and no weight ho's.
