I can't believe I got the May BTM so soon. Mine won't come in the mail for probably another 3 weeks, but it was in at the pro shop, so I bought one.
From what they say, this is definitely a dry lane ball; needing dry and/or short patterns and probably slow speed as well. They say that on it's condition, it has the original Hammer look. The review is not critical of the ball; it just makes it clear that it's a niche ball and hates oil.
None of the new Hammers are in yet at the pro shop.
