The Strongest Smoothest ball ever!!
This is a big ball in anyone’s bag. For layers who bowl on flat or heavy oil patterns and for players that are speed dominant and rev challenged. This is your ball. If you are looking for a big ball in your bag then look no further than the Zero Mercy Solid

Believe the Hype…The Zero Mercy Solid is a HOOK MONSTER!
And just when you thought the Hammer couldn’t produce a ball that hooks more than the Hamer Effect line, Hammer introduces the strongest ball ever created to date; the new Hammer Zero Mercy! Hammer took the original 3-D Offset core and reengineered the design to create the all-new Super Offset core and wrapped it in the new HK22C² coverstock, which is a cutting-edge coverstock that blends Cohesion with our new Chrome additive, creating the strongest version of HK22 to date. All that can be said about this ball is that IT JUST HOOKS! The new Zero Mercy is the ball you need if you are looking for maximum traction and continuation down lane and through the pins. My Zero Mercy is drilled 60x4.5x35, which allows the ball to go a bit longer with more angularity off the spot. The new Zero Mercy redefines hook from a bowling ball, and it WILL NOT disappoint. This will definitely be the first ball out of your bag. Believe the hype….The new Hammer Zero Mercy is THAT ball!!!

Hammer Zero Mercy Solid
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.

Zero Mercy Solid
The Zero Mercy Solid is an absolute hook monster. Featuring a new Super Offset asymmetric core and HK 22 C2 Solid cover, this ball has the looks and the muscle to smash the pins from any angle.

Hammer Zero Mercy Solid
The Hammer Mercy Solid has a strong cover that likes oil. Then these offset cores seem to want to keep the ball driving down lane and thru the pins. For me, that's a good combo. I think this is a good ball for all tournament bowlers, all speed dominant or rev challenged players. I see the Zero Mercy's staying in my arsenal for a while.

YES!
It likes oil, is smooth and one of the strongest balls in my bag. Similar to the zero mercy pearl, it might make you dizzy watching it go down the lane, but you'll be amazed by the amount of power it has when the pins scatter!

Zero Mercy Solid
I drilled this ball with a 40 x 5 x 60, pin down layout. First thought was that this ball flat out hooks. It reads the mids early and strong, but retains a lot of energy and continues left off the deck. This is one of the first HP Hammer balls that I have had in a while, where I didn't have to bring the surface up or shine it so it didn't burn up. I think this ball would be a great first ball out of the bag, a great ball for tournaments and be very beneficial to lower rev players!

Hook in a box for the Hammer Zero Mercy
The new Hammer Zero Mercy is the strongest ball hammer has ever developed. It has the new super Offset core that has HK22C2 coverstock. This ball is very rolly and strong up front and in the midlane. However, it does not stop on the backend of the lane. Very strong and controllable ball motion. The ball is made for higher volume and longer lane conditions. It will work on higher volume league shots. The Zero Mercy and Zero Mercy Pearl are 2 great balls from the Hammer Line up.

Question:
is this ball asymmetrical ?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi LT, this ball does have an asymmetric core.
Question:
What is the difference in carry from a 14lb verse a 16lb with medium rev rate on house league pattern
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
They have the same coverstock and finish regardless of weight. The only difference is really in the performance of the weight block in the different weights. On the 14lb ball the RG is 2.54 and Diff is 0.053 and the 16lb RG is 2.535 and Diff is 0.045. A 16lb ball will carry through the pins better due to the heavier weight but the performance is very similar.
Question:
If you are a slower bowler, does this ball have too much curve to use?
