I bowl early and late shift and am having success with the scandal for wet and arson low flare for dry. I am looking for something for the in between (games 3 and 4) with a strong back-end. I have my sights set on the Red Legend Pearl. However, I am extremely impressed with the Scandal and am wondering if I should wait for a Scandal Pearl this summer. There is no guarantee they will come out with one but considering Track came out with a pearl version of the Paradox and there are no pearls in the Hammer high performance line it seems likely that they will come out with a Scandal Pearl.

It does seem like it's time for Hammer to include a pearl in their high-end category. I think the last one was the Deadly Aim. With how popular the Scandal seems to be it's a good bet that they will add another coverstock variation or two in that line.

But yeah, out of their current lineup the Red Legend or High Flare are your best (only?) bets to fit in between the Scandal and Low Flare.
