What I Was Looking For In This Layout: After throwing the original Sauce, I wanted something that was going to give me more length down the lane and a more aggressive ball motion at the breakpoint.
What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: My first impression was that the ball rolled well for me, but did not give me the motion I was looking for at the breakpoint. I was looking for a little more snap at the breakpoint, but it gave me a more gradual motion towards the pocket. Once I got the ball to the pocket, there was no issue in carry. This ball still hits as hard as the brand name, like a Hammer.
This ball allows me to play the lanes straighter due to the layout I used on the ball. It stores energy well and carries nicely. I ended up making a surface adjustment after a few games to increase the overall reaction. I sanded the surface to 500 grit abralon and used a light polish to finish. This allowed me to match up better to the house shot conditions that I bowl on most often. I could move in a little deeper and get the ball to read the mid lane much more.
The Hot Sauce Pearl works well for me on the medium oil patterns. If I get this on heavier patters, it doesn't match up with my speed and tends to go through the breakpoint for me. This could also be due to the layout I used on this ball. I would recommend putting a stronger layout on this ball for more reaction.

Overall, when I through it well, the ball hit pretty hard. It doesn't quite have the snap in the backend, so the overall motion is more smooth.
I can't complain, Hammer still make great bowling balls, this one will have a place in my arsenal.

I pre-ordered this ball nearly a month ago, and I must say I was like a kid on Christmas when it arrived today and punched it up.
I wasn't sure if this would replace my Cell Pearl in my bag, but after today it's a done deal.

First game no warmups with the other popular ball 179 with 2 opens one in the ninth. Not by any means the balls fault. All I was trying to do was find an approach and release I was confortable with.
Second game I switch to the Hot Sauce and move to an old familiar line. Standing with my left foot at 17 and targeting 6 I rolled a clean game for 218. This ball did exactly what it was advertised to do. Go long and hook hard at the back end.
Not bad for a saturday afternoon with two birthday parties flanking me and years of rust on my game. This ball gave me room to miss both inside my target and out.
Next time I shoot the set with this ball and see what I can do.
