Hammer Scorpion Strike
Hammer Scorpion Strike: a standout addition to the popular Scorpion line, known for delivering exceptional mid-performance value. Hammer fans can expect the Scorpion Strike to exceed expectations, just like its predecessors. This ball boasts the most pronounced skid-flip reaction in the Scorpion series, thanks to the innovative HK22-Semtex Pearl cover and the LED 3.0 core. Positioned just below the powerful skid-flip asymmetric balls and the Hazmat, the Scorpion Strike offers more strength and angularity than the Vibes. With its striking appearance, the Scorpion Strike is set to become a new favorite among Hammer enthusiasts.

Scorpion Strike
I drilled this ball, pin up, with a 60 x 4 x 35 layout. I think this ball fills a gap in the hammer line. I drilled it the same as my scorpion low flare and it is cleaner, longer, and more responsive at the end of the pattern. I have used this ball on my local house shots as a step-down ball from my low flare and my hazmat solid. I can also see this ball being used as a game 1 ball on lower volumes or high friction surfaces.

Hammer 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!!

Very underrated
This ball is so clean through the front, but very predictable. It goes through the pins with ease. This ball is one of the best at its price point.

A Pretty Pearl!
The Scorpion Strike is cleaner than previous Scorpion-line balls. It is pretty clean through the fronts and gives a slightly sharper shape than the Scorpion Sting. I think this is suited for all types of bowlers, but those with more axis rotation will likely be the ones who see this piece as the most versatile.

Question:
How does this compare to the low flare
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The pearl coverstock Hammer Scorpion Strike would react later on the lanes with a skid/flip reaction compared to the hybrid coverstock Hammer Scorpion Low Flare which has more of a strong arc reaction.
