Well, I guess since this site doesn't have the new Hammer products updated yet, I will do a mini-review in the Forum for the one's that I have punched and thrown.  

VIBE-  4.5" pin, 3.75oz top

WHOA!!!  This is the nugget that I personally have been looking for in the Hammer line up for a while.   This ball is drilled with a 5" Pin to PAP, and 75* layout.   Basically the pin is above and rt of the ring, with the CG stacked above and right of the thumb.  

Ball Surface: Box
Lane Surface: Lane shield
Condition1:  carried down THS  38' 10-10
Condition2:  fresh THS

Condition1-  I wasn't sure about the first 5 or 6 shots.  The ball just kind of flaked, but I realized there was carrydown and moved right.  I have stated before that some Hammer products are "clean through the front"; Well, none that I have thrown compare to this one.  This ball just scoots through the heads, sails through the mids, and stores all the energy for the backends.  This layout didn't result in a jerky, skid/flip, but a reall strong arc off of the spot.  

Condition2:  Basically the same results except with the fresh backends, I had to move my feet about 4 deeper.   This ball is a truck.  

Thanks Brian, this is the one I personally have been waiting for.

I see it has a modified Vicious Strike Core, just symmetrical and maybe a lower density.  With such a strong core is it really for lighter patterns?  How weak is the coverstock?  Does it push better through the dry than a Sling or Switch Blade?
