Scorpion Strike

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!!

bowled a 300 with this ball already

The combination of the scorpion low flare, when needing a clean reaction in the fronts, but a smooth downlane shape, and this angular beast on medium conditions, is a 1-2 punch I take to every tournament and league.

An exciting addition to the scorpion lineup, it's the first Scorpion with the HK22 cover base. I noticed immediately this one is much cleaner than the Scorpion Sting, and has a more defined backend motion as well. I believe this will be the option for Hammerheads when the lanes are dry and they're seeing friction. For me this has been a great step down from the Hazmat solid and I'll be using this in games 3-4 of league or to finish a block of a tournament. For my game it's actually a bit cleaner than the Arctic Vibe, which solidifies it as my go-to option for when the lanes are hooking!

The Scorpion Strike is your stereotypical skid flip ball: shiny pearl coverstock on a benchmark core.

Once the lanes start to break down and you have to move inside, this would be the first option for me. I typically will go to this ball when I leave too many flat 10s with balls that have surface, or have an asymmetrical core that tends to roll out. This ball will store enough energy to create plenty of angle through the pins.
