First Impressions on the NEW HAMMER equipment:
Ratchet - This ball is one sexy beast, very versatile, could see me loving it as much as I did the Taboo. It is just amazing how clean this ball is and how much reaction it gives on the backend.
Nail - This ball reads the mids cleaner than anything I have ever thrown and is not very jumpy downlane which is good when other pieces will tend to be too much on the backend.
Arson Pearl - More backend than the Nail and just as clean through the... heads, good ball to go to when the shot breaks down kinda mildly.
Cobalt Vibe - I really thought this ball would be more than the Grape but the Grape reacts and rolls cleaner than the Cobalt, I'm pretty sure this is due to the stronger cover which causes it to roll up sooner than the Grape. It will still do its job when the heads are fried, not a whole lot of over reaction. Definitely think reaction wise it fits in with the pricepoint now.
More to come! You all are definitely going to want to pre order the Ratchet which comes out in August.
Real excited about having 5 different reactions to go along with the Rhythm as well.
NOTHING HITS LIKE A HAMMER!

how would you compare the Ratchet to all the balls in the Taboo line I know its hybrid and it really has my attention

I still believe the Taboo is more ball than the Ratchet; however, the Ratchet is cleaner and has more backend reaction downlane and just does not quit. The Jet Black goes the longest down the lane in length and the Blue/Silver reads a tad earlier in the mid lane.

So Ratchet would fit between the Taboo and the B/S
