Hammer Scandal Pearl

Your competition won't believe their eyes when you roll the Hammer Scandal Pearl down the lane. This is one strong pearlized bowling ball! This ball takes the proven Scandal core and wraps it with the Semtex Pearl CFI coverstock and then is finished with a 500 then 1000 grit Abralon pad and polished with the Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish. This combination of core, cover, and finish gives this ball mid lane control and all the angularity needed on the backend to dominate on medium to heavy oil conditions.This bowling ball is Carbon Fiber Infused! Carbon fiber is one of the toughest materials on earth. Hammer decided to add this material to the inner core of this ball for added strength and durability allowing them to offer an incredible 3 year warranty.

Question:


Does this ball pick up oil like the original Scandal, or does it push further down the lane and is more controllable? Plus will it overreact in light to medium oil?

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


This ball has a pearl coverstock. It will break later than the original Scandal. This ball is only intended for medium to heavy oil lane conditions.

Question:


I recently purchased the Scandal pearl. I'm a left hand bowler and do not have a lot of hand. The ball is very strong. What can I do to tame it down. I use it on a house shot.

12/15/2016 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Our suggestion would be to resurface with a higher grit, and add polish to tame it down some.

Question:


What weight makes the ball go farther down the lane before it hooks on the Pearl scandle

1/11/2017 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Hello! It is not necessarily the weight that will get the ball down the lane, much rather than the grit and polish of the ball. If you need something with the high performance weight block, you will need either 14-16 pound ball.

Question:


what is drilling protection?

1/13/2017 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The drilling protection is an option to help protect the ball while it is being drilled at your local proshop. If something happens while the ball is being drilled and the ball chips or cracks, we can replace the ball as well as reimburse the drilling cost that was charged initially so you are not out any money. Without drilling protection, the manufacturer warranty will usually not cover the ball while it is being worked on at a proshop so they expect the proshop to cover if anything goes wrong but not all proshops will honor this if the ball was not purchased through them.

Question:


Why would I select Pin/Top weight?

1/13/2017 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


If you have a specific drilling layout you want for the ball you may need to request the pin and/or top weight that best allows for that drilling pattern to be used. If you do not request the pin or top weight, the ball you receive will still have drilling options but it may not have a specific drilling pattern that you intended so it is best to request this if you have something in mind for the drilling.
