Hammer scrapped the whole HART core technology.  There were just too many people that drilled them wrong. If the driller put the HART in a conventional Mass Bias position the ball would be a complete dud. Which is a shame because Hammer did everything they could to make sure that people followed the directions. A big stop sign on top of the box with instructions.  An additional flyer in the box explaining how to drill it.  And the recommended drill sheet.  I don't know what more they could have done.  I have only seen about 5 Hart technology balls being used in my area and 3 or them were drilled wrong and one of the correct ones was mine.

It is not recommended to be drilled for a left hander.  I have heard that was just a marketing ploy but I don't think so.  The HART technology balls are pretty much just a pro-cg ball like those sold on Bowlingball dot com.  The Hazard, No Mercy, Beatn, and Whupn would get you a ball with the cg way left of the pin and mb if you drew a line from the pin to the actual mass bias.
This type of pin , cg, mb combo doesn't lend well to drilling for a lefty.
The actual mb on these balls is 6 3/4 to the right from the HART on a perpendicular.

If you need more info go ahead and message me.

Jeff Ussery told me they are the same. One was an international release and the other was one they decided not to go forward with.

So which is which? Is the Whup'n the US ball that got cancelled and the Hazard the internatioanl release?

And do pro shops have them? Or just the online shops?

Minor correction:

The Whup'N was the international release, while the Hazard was a ball they decided to not continue with at the last minute.

Bowling baal.com was the supplier who bought all that were made of the Hazzard. If they made it to other online sites for sale  it is they bought them from bowling ball.com
