This ball is a must for serious players. The gas mask core gives this one a extra punch over other urethane products. Works great on drier conditions or as a down and in piece for medium patterns.

This ball is a perfect compliment to the Scandal. Smooth through the midlane and lots energy left at the pins. A little more angular than the Scandal, but great for medium oil or lanes in transition. Hits like you would expect from a Hammer.

This is one of the most versatile bowling balls I have thrown in a long time. Not great on heavy oil conditions, but for medium and drier lanes it is fabulous. It gets through the mid lane even on burned up shots and holds a lot of energy until impact. I highly recommend having one of these in your bag for house shots and transitional tournament play.

This is a must have ball. I love my original Viral, but this ball is amazing. I have fairly slow ball speed and low revs, but in the last 15 games, I have only left 7 ten pins. The continuation through the pins is just awesome, better than any ball I have seen or used in a long time. It plays well on medium and drier conditions around third arrow, and can finish strong on the longer or wetter patterns from outside ten. Just found a new "go to" ball.
