- Hawg Wild

First Impressions
With the Hawg Wild, Hammer brings a fascinating new development to market that impresses above all with its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Hawg Core, which with a 2.50 RG and a 0.052 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface texture with a polished finish supports this characteristic massively by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later, sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Hawg Wild with the Brunswick Rhino, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Brunswick Rhino tends to read somewhat earlier, while the Hawg Wild holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Rhino starts to lose energy into the pocket or enters too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Hawg Wild offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Rhino no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has already been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, responsive cover. With its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
