Zero Mercy solid is a must have ball for anyone that is looking for that it ball. This ball has never meant a lane that has too much oil, it just soaks it all in and makes that left hand turn and hits the pocket harder than any ball I’ve ever had. When facing high volume patterns in league or tournaments Mercy solid should always be the first ball out of your bag, you won’t be disappointed
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
