I have actually used this on the shorter patterns 32-34 feet playing the gutter & had success with it carrying the 10 pin. Other than that, it is a great looking (Superman colors) spare ball with a Gas Mask weight block in it.

 I hit mine with a 3000 pad after drilling the ball to give me a little bit of a roll. Have hit it 1 time with a 4000 pad to take the lane shine off of it. Have about 40 complete games on it.

I have a friend who owns a Taboo spare (polished) and watching him throw it made me very surprised as to how much it moves even with it being a spare ball. He normally throws it from 15 to 8-6 at breakpoint and it makes a semi-sharp move on the backend. I wouldn't say it's skid-flip but it's pretty close to it and he has it drilled pin above the bridge. I normally don't throw Hammer but I would like to get one because the colors looks cool.
