3" Pin, located under the ring, cg kicked 35 degrees, small weight hole drilled deep 2" below PAP
I tend to have more speed than revs, so I used this layout to read a bit earlier for when I had to chase the shot deeper into the oil. I wanted it for late shift and for when the heads and track area started to dry out, pushing me into heavier, longer oil.
This ball is nothing like I expected...and thrilled with it. Something about that cover is VERY different. The oil rings just never seem to appear! They are gone by the time the ball gets back to the return. I punch about 20 balls a year, and simply have had a hard time putting this one away. The explosive hit just has to come from the oil absorbtion rate.
The cover is VERY easily surface adjusted, especially for a pearl. If this ball squirts for you at the breakpoint, don't be afraid to knock it down a grit! You'll still get the length you need due to the weight block shape, but get a smoother reaction with a bit more surface. I've had everything on it from 800 wet sand (great for fresh oil and the top hats) to 4000 abralon and 320 compound. I wonder if Hammer will release this one as solid? If they do, just put me on the list for one of the first!
Loved the Pain, just missed the house record with the Doom, and averaging well over 220 with the Toxic. Is there a better ball line at this price point? There is something for everyone and every need with these three balls. Happy to be a Hammerhead Pro Shop!
Now all we need is s true dry lane/late shift ball from Hammer. The Vibe? LOL...uh, no..too strong! Give something along the lines of the Tornado. But that's another topic. "-)
