Zero Mercy Solid

Really didn't understand what I had purchased... first shot, 7 board to the 7/4 pocket-Houston?!!!! After a couple of iterations I found that needle- haystack splattered!!! Hammer you've done it again! I haven't purchased the pearl yet...I paired it with the 2.0 hybrid widow...I can only imagine what the pearl will be like.

Here is my take on the new Hammer Zero Mercy Solid. The Zero Mercy Solid features a brand new Super Offset asymmetric core (for 15#, 2.52 RG/.053 diff) wrapped by a black, purple, white and red HK-22 C2 solid cover. In simple terms, this coverstock is super aggressive on oil. There is a chrome additive in the HK-22 Cohesion cover. Box finish is 1500 Siaair. I drilled mine to be used on "soup du jour" with a 40 x 4 x 25 layout and left it at box surface.

This ball was designed for higher volumes of oil and from what I could see today, it will excel on higher volume fresh patterns. From the video, it's easy to see how quickly the Zero Mercy grabs the lane and begins its big rounded motion. I've been working with being a little more forward roll to slow down my response factors a touch and see a smoother motion. However, with how aggressive the Zero Mercy Solid is, I had to go in the opposite direction and use more rotation to get the ball to be a little quicker down lane and go through the pins properly. (Our THS is medium volume on an old, high friction AMF SPL surface) Even with more rotation, it shows a very early, smooth, rounded shape which will be ideal for fresh, high volume patterns. I believe this ball will be in play for a variety of styles ... I also suspect speed dominant players may like this ball especially given how early it wants to slow down. I again think the key to this ball is having sufficient volume in the pattern. If there is sufficient volume in the pattern, the Zero Mercy Solid will be a fantastic choice. Plus, with this color combination, it looks really cool and it stands out nicely.

The Zero Mercy Solid is readily available, see your local pro shop for more information.

I swear, no matter how much rev, this ball acts like it has a gps locator on the pocket. It reads the floor so well, u have room for mistakes. Very forgiving.
Recovers very well.
When it hits the pickets, it goes THROUGH the pins. No direction changes. Just solid strikes.
I’ll report back, but without a doubt, this is my 300 ball this season.

The Hammer Zero Mecy Solid is an extremely aggressive hooking ball with a new weght block.
For me it likes heavier oil in the middle with friction at the break point. The motion is even with a smooth and aggressive move at the break point

And just when you thought the Hammer couldn’t produce a ball that hooks more than the Hamer Effect line, Hammer introduces the strongest ball ever created to date; the new Hammer Zero Mercy! Hammer took the original 3-D Offset core and reengineered the design to create the all-new Super Offset core and wrapped it in the new HK22C² coverstock, which is a cutting-edge coverstock that blends Cohesion with our new Chrome additive, creating the strongest version of HK22 to date. All that can be said about this ball is that IT JUST HOOKS! The new Zero Mercy is the ball you need if you are looking for maximum traction and continuation down lane and through the pins. My Zero Mercy is drilled 60x4.5x35, which allows the ball to go a bit longer with more angularity off the spot. The new Zero Mercy redefines hook from a bowling ball, and it WILL NOT disappoint. This will definitely be the first ball out of your bag. Believe the hype….The new Hammer Zero Mercy is THAT ball!!!
