Hammer Anger
Meet the Hammer Anger—an addition to the Hammer lineup packed with bold performance and enhanced attitude. Thanks to the game-changing HK22 coverstock, the Anger brings a new level of versatility and power, pushing the limits of core options like never before. The HK22’s unique strength in oil allows Hammer to pair it with higher RG core designs, unlocking a whole new level of reaction. Built on a modified version of the Infamous core, known for its high RG and designed to create length, the Anger delivers a powerful skid-flip motion unmatched in the Hammer range. Infused with HK22 and CT Reactive Flip additives, this ball is primed for maximum responsiveness on medium to lighter oil conditions.

Hammer Anger
Here is my take on the new Hammer Anger. For the record, this Anger is not a remake of the Hammer Anger from the late 2000's. This new Hammer Anger features a modified Infamous symmetric core (high RG/medium diff) wrapped by a black/red/caramel CT Reactive Flip coverstock with the HK-22 base. Box finish is 1500 Siaair finished with Factory Compound. I drilled one with a 45 x 4 1/4 x 25 layout. I originally tried it at box finish on THS. From what I initially saw, I put it on the spinner and went over the ball with a worn 2000 Siaair pad. I liked it much better with a touch more surface.
The manufacturer's intent for the Anger was to create a quick response ball to complement the Arctic Vibe and Scorpion Sting for lighter to medium volume patterns. I tried the Anger originally on fresh THS and at box surface, I found it to be a touch too quick for my liking. As noted above, I went over the ball with a 2000 pad and liked the ball much better. The Anger still shows plenty of length down the lane. What's interesting is, at least to my eye, the Anger is a touch milder off the spot.. I actually potentially could see this piece on medium to light fresh patterns that are medium to shorter in length. I actually wish I had this new Anger earlier this summer when I hit some tournaments where they had light volume fresh patterns on high friction synthetic surfaces. Given the characteristics of this new piece, I think in particular slower ball speeds and/or rev dominant players might well appreciate the Hammer Anger.
The Hammer Anger is readily available- see your local pro shop for more information.

The Hammer Anger is a very nice piece for medium to light oil ball. It reminds me of the Ebonite Fireball pearl but with a little more kick and change of direction. You know, that little extra that kicks out pesky corner pins. Many house shots are light volume and that's right where this ball lives. As soon as you see a little transition, switch to the Anger and watch him crush the pocket.

This is a really good ball for the dryer Lanes. At first, I thought it was too sharp off the spot then I hit it with a 3000 pad and now I really love this ball.
It Is definitely everything they said it was the perfect ball for places that have lots of friction.
