ZERO MERCY. MAXIMUM VERSATILITY.

The Zero Mercy Hybrid is the ball Hammer fans have been waiting for since the introduction of the best-selling Zero Mercy Solid and Pearl. The Zero Mercy Hybrid bridges the gap, combining traction in oil with explosive downlane motion; this shiny hybrid delivers the best of both worlds. Wrapped in a striking four-color hybrid coverstock, the Zero Mercy Hybrid creates more traction in the mid-lane than a typical shiny ball while maintaining the quick response to friction and powerful downlane motion bowlers expect from the Zero Mercy name. The result is a unique combination of control, versatility, and recovery that allows bowlers to stay in their comfort zone longer as lane conditions transition. If you’re looking for a shiny ball that can handle more oil, create a stronger footprint in the mid-lane, and still deliver the angular backend motion needed to strike, the Zero Mercy Hybrid is the missing piece in the Zero Mercy lineup. Following in the footsteps of two of Hammer’s most successful high-performance releases, the Zero Mercy Hybrid is built to be another winner.

Get Compliment in Zero Mercy Line

This one is strong without being crazy. It picks up nicely through the middle of the lane and still has plenty left when it gets to the pins. If you like seeing your ball make a strong move down lane, this one is worth a look.

The complete trifecta

This one is exactly what you would expect. The perfect fit between the ZM solid and ZM pearl. Looks good and hits like a ton of brick. If you like the zero mercy shape you will enjoy this one!

Hammer Zero Mercy Hybrid

Here is my take on the Hammer Zero Mercy Hybrid. The Zero Mercy Hybrid is the third in the line of Zero Mercy bowling balls. The Zero Mercy Hybrid features the same Super Offset asymmetric core used in the Solid and Pearl wrapped by a black, silver, white and red HK-22C2 hybrid cover. Box finish is Factory Compound over 1500 Siaair. The layout used in this review is 40 x 4 x 25. I have thrown this on several different THS, both fresh and leftover.

The Zero Mercy Hybrid, by manufacturer's intent, is designed to be the "in between" ball for the Zero Mercy Solid and Zero Mercy Pearl. As most know, the highly successful Zero Mercy Solid is arguably the strongest ball in the Brands of Brunswick line up. The Pearl version is definitely cleaner and quicker in its response. To my eye, the Zero Mercy Hybrid does achieve its stated goal of being a combination of both balls. It definitely is less than the Solid without question. For my interests, I wanted to see the difference between the Pearl and Hybrid. The Hybrid definitely sees the lane a touch earlier and finishes a little harder. I can see the Hybrid in play on medium to higher volume fresh patterns or as the first ball down in transition off of the Zero Mercy Solid. If you had success with the Zero Mercy Solid and are looking for a little more distance with similar down lane motion, the Zero Mercy Hybrid is what you want.

The Zero Mercy Hybrid is readily available. Please see your local pro shop for more information.

Zero Mercy Hybrid

Jury is still out on this one, liked the solid but the pearl and the hybrid seems to give me a wet dry reaction when its not there for any other ball. Maybe a different layout I'm not sure it's 45 x 4 ½ x 35 my normal layout!

Great Ball - 170 Avg - Wood lanes

Picked up this ball yesterday, walked into the shop told them i was using a 10 year old storm sure lock on wood lanes and it was hitting like a marshmallow old, full of oil, would burn up before the pocket. I am more of a tweener start around 20-24 throwing 3ft out in front of board 10. 139, 199, 220. The zero mercy hybrid was amazing it would hold out longer and snap into the pocket and when it hit, it was explosive. To me its a very forgiving ball if i pulled it, it would snap to a Brooklyn, if i pushed it, it would hold out until it needed to and still find the pocket. It was drawing a lot of attention in league due to its snappy ness and energy retention. 10/10 ball.
