Hammer Scorpion Strike Bowling Ball

I drilled this ball, pin up, with a 60 x 4 x 35 layout. I think this ball fills a gap in the hammer line. I drilled it the same as my scorpion low flare and it is cleaner, longer, and more responsive at the end of the pattern. I have used this ball on my local house shots as a step-down ball from my low flare and my hazmat solid. I can also see this ball being used as a game 1 ball on lower volumes or high friction surfaces.

I love the fact that I can go right to the Scorpion Strike when the Scorpion Low Flare is picking up to quickly. The Low Flare has become one of my favorite pieces and with the Strike to give me extended play later in the set, I believe in these two to be my one two punch balls. I have not found a pattern that shuts out these pieces at all. Great job Hammer!!

I purchased this ball for my wife and had Buddies drill it up. She has a lower ball speed (12mph) and doesn't get much hand in her shot. I ordered one for her in a 12lb weight and had it drilled pin up. For her this ball easily clears the fronts and saves up really good energy for the back end.

After around 4 sessions with this ball I am really loving it. With conditions at my houses it is the first ball out of my bag. It gets down the lane with ease and then makes a strong move off the pattern. Really opens up the lane. It is about five boards stronger than my old A line. Oh and it looks good doing it.

Haven’t thrown it yet
