HOPKINSVILLE, Kent.
Hammer's Vicious line is synonymous with angularity. If it's a Vicious ball, it's got maximum hook potential and the line's new Vicious Strike is no exception.

"Hammerheads want hook, that powerful angle in the backend that slams into the pins and forces heavy pinfall," said Ed Gallagher, new product manager for Hammer Bowling. "By slightly modifying previous Vicious cores and veneers, we've made a ball more ferocious than the last and that's why we called it 'Vicious Strike'."

The most angular ball of the Vicious series, Vicious Strike stays clean through the fronts and attacks on the backend with killer angle. Hammer created its cut-throat design by adding a pancake to the top of their low mass bias core, thus raising the differentials and the ball's overall hook potential. Then, they finished it off with a modified Power Whip Particle veneer. This creative combination enhances performance on medium to heavy oil, making the Vicious Strike the 'go to' ball for big hook, big angle Hammerheads.

Hammer's Vicious Strike is royal blue/purple pearl in color and is now available through pro shops and distributors worldwide in 12-16 pounds.
