Out of your list I would have to say Red Pearl Hammer.

If I get to choose, I want a Burgundy Hammer polished and drilled Axis!


Nah, not of my list.  Create your own list

Burgundy Hammer--Heavy
Dull Blue Hammer --heavier mediums
Black Hammer-------normal mediums
Pink Hammer---------medium light
Blue Pearl Hammer-Light

That's the arsenal that I'd try to build. Fab had the market cornered when it came to outstanding urethane stuff. However, here are a few other great urethane pieces:

  AMF Sumo
  AMF Cobra (Black)
  AMF Angles (Except the gold, man that looked like a ball of mustard!)
  Col U-Dot
  Ebo Nitro

 There are obviously many more that could have made the list, but those are some of the balls that I saw kicking major butt back in the day.

My four-ball urethane arsenal would be:

Scarlet Quantum, box condition, drilled label leverage
Red Hammer, light polish, drilled CG-axis
Another Red Hammer, polished, drilled with label shift but no XH
Black U-Dot, glossed like a marble, CG in grip center

I already have the axis Red Hammer in the bag.  The other three are still in the closet, undrilled, waiting for the day when resin and particle equipment get banned.   No, I'm not holding my breath.

How about 2 black hammers - one box, one polished.

Probably a Slate Blue Gargoyle ....

At least it has a true dynamic core. WHy go back to old technology, like Burgundy Hammers and Black Angles?

The old saying, "You can't go home again" has lots of levels of meanings.

The only urethane ball I've ever owned was the wine U Dot.  I was on my 13-year "hiatus" when reactives came out.  I still have my U Dot, but it's really tracked out.  I loved that ball!

My four-ball arsensal would be:
1. Vector 2 - slight polish, axis weight.
2. Red Hammer - slight polish, axis weight (slightly more angular than my Vector 2).
3. Black Rhino - highly polished.  
4. Blue Phantom - sanded.

You weren't unlucky when you left that corner pin, so shut up about it already!!
