Thanks for the responses. I am going to try the Burgundy. The urethane type move is a good one for my game. I preferred the Blades that did not have the flip block--specifically the Sling and the Sharp, although the Sling was stronger than what I needed for the lineup spot I bought it for. That core (I think of it as the hand grenade core) seems to be a good one for me.
What I'm hoping to get out of the Burgundy Pure Hammer is a ball that will help me stay out of trouble in the transition game. My usual lanes are old wood and start out medium, but when they start to change, my breakpoint can move toward me at frightening speed. I've been wanting to try one ever since they came out, and now that I hear that Hammer is going to shuffle their lineup, I want to get ahold of one before it is too late and I end up wondering if I should have tried it. At the price, why not?
Thanks again,
Shiv
