- Redemption Hybrid

First Impressions
The Hammer Redemption Hybrid comes in a striking red, white and blue color scheme and represents the perfect complement between the solid and pearl versions of the Redemption series. The specs at 15 pounds show a 2.498 RG, a 0.053 differential and a 0.015 mass bias, positioning it as an asymmetric ball with high flare potential. The Redemption Core is wrapped in the Aggression NE Hybrid cover and comes with a 500/1000 Siaair/Crown Factory Compound surface. One notable feature is the orange inner core construction with a carbon-reinforced outer core, complemented by DOT technology for flexible drilling positions.
Comparison
The ball was developed as a replacement for the Brunswick Prism Hybrid, and it differs clearly from its stablemates in the series. Compared to other Hammer balls, the Redemption Hybrid is the most angular ball in the Redemption line. Its ball motion is strongly reminiscent of the Statement Hybrid from the former EBI production, while it behaves less controllably than the Redemption Solid and Pearl. The continuous reaction sets it apart from symmetric balls, yet it remains very reliable. Among all the Redemption balls, it is considered the most versatile.
On the Lanes
The ball was designed for medium to heavy oil volumes and is meant to come into play especially when solid balls grab too early. The cover glides effectively through the oil and proves more responsive than expected, which should produce clean length without losing the midlane read. Its versatility shows in how well it takes surface changes, allowing for a variety of adjustments. While it plays to its strengths on high-volume sport patterns, it also proves very strong on friction-heavy house shots. The heavy arc should deliver powerful pin action, with a strong midlane reaction and backend power to be expected.
