Description: The Nail Titanium combines the modified Doom Core with the GTRIII coverstock (as previously seen in the Hammer Taboo Jet Black).

I see about 2' more length out of the Titanium Nail than I did with last year's Smoke & Fire Nail with a stronger backend motion too. The Jet Black coverstock is very versatile and handles surface adjustments really well. This ball is great for the medium/medium lighter house shot patterns as well as some of the lighter volume lane patterns. This ball will give you length with ease & make a strong backend flip motion that you will love to see in this type of ball. When the lanes burn up and you need a ball to get down the lane with a nice strong backend motion, the new Titanium Nail is the answer. Great job on Hammer with this cover/core matchup!


Dislikes:
The only negative that I see on this ball is that it might be a little over/under on the heavier mediums, but that is not what this ball is designed for.

COMMENTS

Likes: Drilled it pin under ring finger with a small mas bias kick out. This ball got me down the lane and strong through the pocket. No need to push on this ball it does that itself. O.O.B finish on this one. Will be touching it with 3000 and 1500 to see what other looks I can get out of this ball. WWR 6/10/2013

Layout 25x5 1/8x45
Rev Rate=425

The Nail Titanium was a good compliment to the smoke and fire nail. Its a lot smoother and not a jumpy on the back end. I use this ball a lot on sport shots where it is flooded in the backs but got dry right of 5. It gets length but pop on the back end. It works ok on house shots late in the night. If you have upper end balls that hook to much late in league this is a ball you could use in your arsenal.

COMMENTS:  If you like the Nail Smoke and Fire you're gonna love the Titanium.  With a ball staying in the nice price category but wrapping it in the GTR III Jet Black Taboo coverstock (pearlized version) Hammer just upped the performance a bit.  I get about 3-5 more boards with the NAIL Titanium than I had with the Smoke and Fire with just as much length.

Likes: Great for medium to light oil, House Patterns or later games.

Dislikes: I found it a little touchy on a fresh oiled heads.

It's ball has a modified Doom Core and the cover of the Jet black Taboo.. 2 of my favorite balls combined together makes for one happy bowler. I typically throw the ball around 16mph and have a terrible time carrying the corner pins. This ball makes the burn look easy. Layout 35x 4.5x 80. I have not felt so comfortable on a dry women's condition as I did with this. It held in the middle where there was a trace of oil and grabbed the dry just enough to smash into the pocket.. Love the colors, ball looks awesome rolling down the lane. This ball will be in my arsenal for a long time. Way to go HAMMER. Just another reason why your the best bowling ball company out there.
