Description of my Blue Hammer-RG 2.57, differential .032, perfect scale 124.1, core symmetric, core name modified vibe core, coverstock urethane, factory finish 4000 Abralon, layout #2 length layout. What ball would be a decent backup to my Blue Hammer? I want to stick with a symmetric core. Maybe a lower RG for sure and a perfect scale rating of that is more middle of the road. Any ideas for me? :cool:

Are you looking for another urethane or a weak reactive?

I think from Hammer's original post he's looking for something to complement the Blue Urethane, not replace it. My suggestion would be a Storm HyRoad, 173 on BowlingBall,com's perfect scale.

Could be either one.

If you want to stay with Hammer, any of the Vibes (same core) or tha Nails would be a step up in reaction.

Well i was thinking maybe a stronger urethane to go with his blue hammer.
If you wanna stick with urethane the motiv tank has a perfect scale of 163
for reactive you could go with a slingshot perfect scale of 157

The Slingshot has been discontinued although there are probably a few left in Pro Shops.

i believe the new slingshot is the strike king although from watching vids the strike king is a bit stronger

How about a Storm red Super Natural or a Hammer Spike for a second ball in my arsenal? I bowl on THS patterns that are dry to medium dry oil pattern.

The Supernatural will be a little stronger than your Blue Hammer and the Spike a little stronger still because it's resin. Another good choice for drier house shots is the Motiv Ascent pearl
