Title: Raw Hammer Pain and Anger
Post by: On Fire on July 07, 2008, 09:06:28 AM

Is there a distinct difference between the two balls as far as ball motion and backend? If I read right, the Anger is abit earlier and smoother than the Pain. Plus, does anyone know the OOB coverstock on both balls?

My pain is still in oob condition, it is definitely not 4000 Abralon
I'd say its sanded at 1500.

The Anger starts up earlier, and is stronger in the midlane, with the same strong continuous motion as the Pain

Anger reminds me of the Infinite One with less core in it, needs alot of oil and keeps on hooking for such a cheap ball.

The Pain is definitely 4000 Abralon OOB and the Anger is 2000

Not a ton. The Anger is smoother and earlier. The cover is much stronger and the rg and diff are lower as well on the Anger.

According to the shelf talker on Hammers website (in the trade section) the Pain is finished at 2000 abralon.

Pain starts up later and is less continuous than the Anger, the Anger starts up early and continues through the back for a huge hook and great carry. My Anger is my go to ball.

I totally disagree about the Anger being smoother on the backend than the Pain.  The Anger and Pain are both strong in the mid-lane with the Anger being stronger on the backend.  The Pain is smoother on the backend.

The Pain OOB cover is 2000 grit.

The Anger OOB cover is 2000 grit.
