MoRich LevRg.  This ball can handle heavy oil very well, and it does not jump off the spot, but rather has a nice hard arc to the pocket.

Check out Lanemaster's heavy load particles. Old school, but very effective on long oil.

If you don't want a lot of hook but true heavy oil handling, the Visionary Ogre Particle is the only ball choice available.

Are you looking just for a Hammer ball?

I feel the Raw Hammer Anger is a good ball for heavier oil and has smoother type of reaction characteristics.

If brand name doesn't matter then there are many balls on the market that could work pretty well.  I recently bought a T-Road Solid from Storm and it has a strong but controllable reaction and so far handles the heavier longer patterns with ease.

Check out the Sauce. I drilled it today. It has a little lope in the front but it picks up in the midlane and keeps going through the pins. Hits really, really well. Really good on heavier sport conditions (42 and 44ft).
