- Description: There's nothing safe about the Acid Raw Hammer. Made with our Max-Hook Reactive coverstock and Raw Hammer Assault core, we've designed it to be dangerous from the outside in; a scary combination of power and control you won't find in any other mid-level ball. The Raw Hammer Acid. Let the pins burn.
The Raw Hammer Acid fills in a huge performance gap in our popular mid-price series. With the Anger, Hammer bowlers had a great reaction for heavier oil lane conditions. Psycho filled our medium to medium-dry condition needs. But there was a great amount of separation between these two balls. With the introduction of the Acid, we have an outstanding product that fits right in between these two balls and gives bowlers an excellent combination of control and backend power. Acid uses our Raw Hammer Assault core, along with our Max-Hook Reactive coverstock to create a combination of power and control that is simply not found in other mid-price balls. Bowlers will find the Acid to be longer through the front of the lane than the Anger, with more backend power and continuation than the Psycho. The total hook of the Acid is 3-4 boards more than this year’s introduction, the Psycho.
