Hammer continually strives to enhance its bowling ball lineup, aiming to address specific needs and create a well-rounded gaming experience. While the Envy Tour balls have gained immense popularity with their low flare cores, the introduction of the Scorpion Low Flare adds a unique dimension. Departing from the recent symmetric low flare designs, this ball is a notable inclusion. The innovation behind the Scorpion Low Flare involves the removal of the flip puck from the LED 3.0 core, a feature familiar in the Scorpion Sting. This modification has effectively lowered the differential and flare potential, aligning the ball seamlessly with Hammer's vision. With the Scorpion Low Flare, bowlers can anticipate a smooth and predictable ball motion, driven by the carefully calculated core numbers and the cutting-edge Semtex Hybrid cover. The ball is meticulously finished at 2000 Siaair, ensuring optimal performance on the lanes. Versatility is a key attribute of the Scorpion Low Flare, making it a suitable choice for bowlers of all styles. High-rev players will find it effective across various conditions, while those with lower rev rates can leverage its utility on challenging lane scenarios and during transitions. In essence, the Scorpion Low Flare emerges as an essential companion for any bowler, ensuring a competitive edge whether the game demands finesse or power. Don't hit the lanes without this game-changing addition to your arsenal.

The original Hammer Scorpion Hybrid I enjoyed a lot. Especially for house shot conditions, league or tournaments. The newest addition, Hammer Scorpion Low Flare (Hybrid) is even better. The low differential on this ball allows the ball to retain more energy downlane and be more continuous through the pins. In comparison of the two, this original Scorpion Hybrid rolled forward much earlier than some bowlers may have liked, this one retains a lot of energy and will have a lot more carry with the pains. I drilled mine with my favorite pin down layout, and as you can see, even Marshall Kent showcased the Scorpion Low Flare with a pin down. This ball is great with a pin down, I even ordered a new one for a pin up version. Don't wait on this ball! This ball will be good for house shots, but if you are the avid tournament bowler, this ball is great on long patterns (PBA Weber 45' - current pattern) and short patterns, and maybe everything in between! THIS BALL IS GREAT!

The Scorpion Low Flare is controllable, predictable, versatile, comes back from everywhere with the right angle. This ball will fit many bowling styles and should be a must have ball for league and tournament bowlers. I have never had a Hammer Scorpion ball before. I drilled this because I was interested in the low flare part of it. I thought this might be a true mid level roll and control ball for me. It has been exactly that. The Semtex Hybrid cover with the core combo allows for strong arc but more importantly, it allows for control and predictability.

I drilled the Hammer Scorpion Low Flare 4.5” x 30 to be a medium response hybrid symmetric, mildly strong through the mid-lane with a little kick, and it performs perfectly. Removing the flip puck from the LED 3.0 core found inside the Scorpion Sting lowered the differential and flare potential, making this ball a perfect fit for Hammer. I have had tremendous success on our 42’ THS, I am able to play in the oil cutting of my angles, and the Scorpion Low Flare can still get the corner pins out. The hybrid cover gives me the best of both worlds, enough length to play straighter, with traction when I need recovery. When you need to open the lane up and create more shape, the Scorpion Low Flare has you covered. A very versatile piece of equipment, this is one I have been looking for all season long. I used it on a 6:1 39 ft. challenge pattern and whacked them for a four-game block, then went to Aalborg 35’ and had even more success. You can order the Hammer Scorpion Low Flare now from Bowler Builders Pro Shop, and pro shops everywhere. Nothing hits like a Hammer!!

Likes:Scorpion Low Flare.  I can’t say enough about this gem.  I’ve only used it so far on a very challenging Earl Anthony pattern and then the pro am with the fans after on a house shot.  I was able to use the Scorpion Low Flare through the last 5 games of qualifying and 4 games in the cashers round.  I’m looking forward to using the Low Flare on many medium/heavy oil patterns as it is so smooth getting to the spot but responds nicely to any shape you need to create as the games go on.  Don’t sleep on this one!!

Incredible Ball, Incredible Price Point!

Hammer line bowling balls have been a benchmark of innovation with balls that have been consistent, have control and continues to be an industry leader.  The Hammer Scorpion Low Flare continues in that line of bowling balls that have a great advantage over the competition….and that is this ball is underrated and has tremendous control!  The Scorpion Low Flare is an absolutely phenomenal bowling ball.  It is very clean, has a very consistent ball motion and is very controllable off the spot and through the pin deck.  As this ball is symmetrical, my layout on this ball is very simple; stacked drill will the pin above the ring finger, and the CG directly below.  This allows for a more consistent and cleaner ball shape and motion.  This ball can be utilized on fresh or medium lane conditions and is a ball that is a must have in every ball bag.  For the price point, you cannot go wrong with the Hammer Scorpion Low Flare.
