Interestingly, Hammer is now providing a 3 year warranty for the Deadly Aim.

I am sort of surprised that it is at their premium level of cost and performance, given it has a core that is barely asymmetric (PSA of .008").

it looks good, but I think it's definitely going to get overlooked with the release of the Assassin

Good marketing.  It sounds awesome to me.  I want one for my next ball.

Uh-oh!!! Could this be.....the return of the DOOM???

I loved that ball. Shot my highest set ever with it. Cover didn't last though.

Can't wait to see this Deadly Aim in action.

I loved the doom too, but Im afraid the deadly aim really doesn't have much in common with it...2.52 vs 2.49 rg, and .047 vs .054 diff. Add in the solid cover on the aim vs the flipper pearl cover on the doom...aim should be a lot smoother and noticeably stronger than the doom was.

Interesting ball though for sure. Hammer probably figures only a few people keep a ball for 3 years...might as well offer t he extended warranty right?

Interested to see what the carbon fiber does to affect hitting power.

It's great that they're offering a 3 Yr Warranty, however, in a month they'll overshadow this release with yet another HP ball soooooo what's the purpose? They'll come out with the pearl version and step over this one.

This ball looks awesome. I will definitely be picking one of these up. ( In about 4 months when it is on closeout.) Keep em coming boys.

Yep. Primer Reactive Hybrid coverstock. It's a solid as well.

I think I may have just found a replacement for my First Blood. Heavy rolling with length for medium conditions? I'm pretty much sold.
