The Hammer Zero Mercy Pearl gets the pearl version of the HK22C2 found the the Zero Mercy Solid and this translates to a completely different ball motion on the backend. Now what you get is something super clean you don’t have to force down the lane with an inappropriate amount of backend hook!

With the help of SPECTO data, it’ll help tell the story about reaction shape, overall hook and continuation through the pins. Here are the SPECTO data points used and definition of each term:

Launch Speed – Speed measured off the hand.
Entry Speed – Speed measured at the pins. (What you’d see on your home center MPH screens)
Rev Rate – Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Launch Angle – The angle the ball traveled the first 10 feet.
Break Point Position – Board at which the ball was at its outermost position.
Total Hook – Total number of boards the ball crosses on the way to the pins.
Hook Power – Number of boards the ball hooked based on the True Breakpoint.
Entry Angle – The angle of the ball between 51 and 55 feet.
Impact Angle – The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
Pin Deck Exit – Ball position at the end of the pin deck.

Can I see the reaction or is it confusing? Oh, it’s pure every time. Every time I pure it, trip four. What’s up, guys? Brunick’s back. It’s time to introduce the Hammer Zero Mercy Pearl. Now, the Zero Mercy Pearl has a brand new super offset asymmetrical core wrapped HK22 cohesion squared pearl cover. Can’t wait to see what this Flippy monster does on the lanes for me with Spectto running, of course. But before we get all that, please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already. Now, let’s see Zero Mercy Pearl out on the lanes. Okay, time for Zero Mercy Pearl. did the solid. Hopefully you saw that one first. If not, go watch that one first. Just kidding. Don’t click off this. But let’s talk about that core. Brand new super offset asymmetric. Crazy looking core. RG 2.524. That’s pretty high for a performance ball. Differential 053 with an intermediate 020. So pretty strong in that regard. Cover stock HK22 cohesion squared pearl. That means it’s got the good stuff in it. Yeah. Does it smell twice as good? Probably. So, we’re bowling on Crown Jewel. My favorite house shot. Of course, it’s YouTube’s favorite house shot. It’s never going to change. I’m never going away from Crown Jewel. 43 ft. Ton of oil in the middle. None of the outside. Should be perfect for a ball like this. So, I got Spectto running. We’re going to start it out. Move it in. Put this ball through the paces. See what it can do and what maybe it can’t do. So, let’s get on to it. Start on 15. People always ask how do you you know you start on 15. What does that mean? So I’m putting the center of my foot on 15. Now where I end up at the foul line completely different. So that’s just where I’m starting. But my lay down points pretty much around 15, but I’m going to drift to probably about 22. FYI. Hey, a messenger carried on this channel, everybody. There’s only one downside. They forgot the seven pin. Well, uh, very clean in the front. If you remember the Zero Mercy Solid. If you watch that one first from the other day, big difference with how these ones respond to friction. This one gets through it quicker. Sorry, this one goes down longer. What am I talking about? And then it responds later down lane. So maybe I don’t have to be as forceful with my speed. So if you’re wondering like, hey, what ball should I pick? You know, the solid or the pearl. Depends on your game. If you’re slower speed, you bowl more dry, maybe something like this. Oh, that’s good. Man, that ball is clean. Super clean. I don’t know what Spect says. I never look at the numbers when I’m bowling, but just going off the eye test there. Throwing it right into the friction. I’m just probably throwing a little bit hard. So, my adjustment now is going to be Let’s just soften up a little bit. Sound good? I could play straighter even, but uh if the ball’s not going to go crazy sideways off that spot, then you need to bring the speed down because if it’s going past the brake, there we go. Soften up just a little bit. Hopefully Spect’s got my back today. For once, that first zone was not excruciating for me. That ball’s got a clean enough cover. compound finish, brand new additive package, is more of it, I think. I’m no scientist. I’m no chemist, but when you put HK22 Cohesion Squared, you got to think that they’re adding a lot more of that good stuff. And uh we’re going to move right left. Gosh, it’s opposite day. Did you know that? Opposite day. All right, we’re into 20 now. Get a little swing. And I think this ball I can just kind of relax and just throw my normal pace, not try to overthrow it. and see what it does. Oh yeah. Wow. Give it a little bit of space. Give it a little bit of oil in the front there. And then watch it respond to that friction when it finally hits it. When it comes off the end of that pattern, go sideways. That’s what we want to see. If you’re going to call a ball extreme flip or whatever they’re calling it, absurd flip. So many words. I think absurd is a good one. That might even be the title of the video. Absurd flip. Yeah. How much that ball back end? Oh, nasty. It was absurd. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh, come on. I knew I got it out a little bit wider. Kind of hung up in a little bit, but when you don’t get out of it so clean, you give yourself instant length. The ball is just going to flutter down there a little bit longer. Still come off the spot, but it’s going to be kind of like quick and then forward. Hard to see the flare, but it’s doing work. Normally I show you, but it’s so hard to see on some of these bowling balls. This is like you were to like take the perfect color hammer ball. Black, orange, silver. That’s a hammer ball. Let’s throw one more shot in here. Let’s maybe um let’s pry it off the hand. How about that? Let’s get the crowbar. Hey, we carried it. That’s a difference right there. When you get it off your hand clean, good things happen. I sent that out probably even further than the last one. But because I had a little bit better roll on it, get a little bit better pin action. I don’t know how the science of that works. That’s just what I’ve noticed in all my bowling and all my career all my life. All right, time to move again. That zone looked pretty good. Kind of couple of issues there with getting it off my hand, but we’re not worried about that. We’re not worried about puring shots in a review. We’re just trying to test the ball, right? All right. In the 25 now. Now, let’s give it some swing. [Music] Oh yeah, that’s a signature hit right there for a zero mercy. Got a couple of those in the solid version. And the Pearl does exactly that as well. Uh I feel like I got the speed down on that one. I think my brain is just kind of working on a subconscious level that this ball does not need help getting down the lane. This would be one of those bowling balls where I would consider knocking off the compound. You know, for me, a little more speed dominant. I like to throw it hard. That’s where my strengths are. is I don’t want to have to like feather it or baby it or but it could also be a ball you wait for to for the lanes to break down enough. I don’t know. I haven’t decided yet. A little wider. Oh no. No. I don’t want to hit surface at all. These are just internal thoughts. I’m externalizing everything. That’s what I do in these reviews. That’s how I yap so much. It’s because everything I think about I’m just going to say for the most part always try to keep it clean. But you know when I throw a ball and I’m learning it I’m thinking do I want to hit it with surface? Is this something I would It’s always what I’m thinking about in my mind. How could I fine-tune a ball? Does the ball fit my eye? Does it roll in the right spot? Can I see the reaction or is it confusing? Oh, it’s pure every time. Every time I pure it, trip four. That’s uh that’s the sign of a good bowling ball. When I trip four, you know, I got some confidence throwing it off my hand. Well, ball is responding even harder to friction on the back when I do that. So, yeah, that zone. I’m going to earmark that 25. Great zone. Now, let’s start opening it up. See what happens. Is it going to be too shiny? Is it going to labor a little bit? 10 pin. We are going to find out. I don’t know. Compared to the solid, I really had to just keep speed up with that one. This one, I think I can relax and just pure shots again. It’s in. It’s going to hold. You dirty dog. you. How are you going to do that to me? That was insane. That was uh trip four into the 4 and 1/2. Probably closer to the nine, eight pin, 4.8, whatever. Yeah. Okay. So, this ball does not lack in back end and continuation. And the ball comes off the spot hard and freaking does that. But I love that trip four hit. I know off my hand that I’m doing things right when I do that. Let’s uh send it. Yeah. A little firmer right to that spot. So instead of hitting that trip four man. Man, that thing got me all flustered. I don’t know if I have two shots here or three shots here. So, I’m going to assume I only have two shots cuz that thing kind of erased my memory like Men in Black. So, we’re going to throw one more shot in here and then we’ll move into 35. Sound good? Sounds good. This is not an interactive show, by the way. I’m going to do whatever I want. You know, I wanted to give you a little semblance of power sitting there watching this video on your couch. There 33% of you, by the way, watching on YouTube TV, which is sweet, by the way. Oh, that’s hooking. See, when I think it’s going to hook, the clean cover pushes it down that extra couple feet that it needs to hit the flush pocket again. So, uh, ball rocks. Let’s get into the last zone. Let’s give it the final test. Is it gonna be good? I think so. In the 35 now. I got a 10 pin, right? Going to have to 10 pin once maybe. I don’t know. Feel like this is a ball that would get too clean and maybe light mixer then. I don’t know. Oh, that’s wide. That’s 10 pin. Yeah, that one’s that was weak. That was not a good shot. But it’s okay that we find limits. A shiny ball covering all that oil. You know, I found that in this video that I had to gear down and not push it through the spot because the ball is going to get down the lane no matter what. There hasn’t really been a a scare where I thought the ball was going to go face and just hook up on me. So, we know that when we extend that launch angle and get it out too far, it’s using every bit of energy to get back. It doesn’t really have much for the back end for the pins. So, we get it in more like that. Way different, right? So, you got to be able to realize that. So, back to talking about how the ball goes through the pins. Okay. I noticed on that 710 that ball didn’t drive through the pins, hit and deflected. Probably went to like 12 boards, something crazy. And that’s when the ball rolls forward, used all of its energy, rolled forward, hit flat. There’s no drive. Last shot here, and then we’re going to go back to 25 because that zone looked really good. Oh, there’s a test. Another one. Nope. saw the friction a little earlier. I probably took a little bit off and split the 8 9. So, it can handle open angles no problem. I felt more comfortable being shinier, shutting them down a little bit. Still need a little bit of left to right. So, that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to throw this final shot from 25 and finish out this video. What a great duo of bowling balls here. Solid pearl dual release. Here they are. No waiting. What an in addition to hammer line cured. Yeah, insane performance. Complete opposite ends of the spectrum between Pearl and Solid. Zero mercy. I hope you learned a whole lot from these bowling balls, especially the Pearl. Solid, that’s the daddy of hook. This one might be the daddy of flip. So check out all the merch on Inside Bowling.

  1. Nick hammer says this ball is considered for medium lane conditions ? I would think it could be as the Mani say Med/heavy , by watching you rolling it I would have to say med/.heavy

  2. This ball can leave a 7 pin and a 10 pin, just like any other ball. The ball prices are getting ridiculous this ball will cost me nearly $300. With drilling finger inserts thumbslug. tax. I'll keep what I got.😂😂😂

  3. Yeah, the pricing of balls is way too expensive, and then if you go off the nationals they don't work there

  4. I believe both of the Zero Mercy balls will be too much for me as I am a rev-dominant bowler.

  5. i love your talk on adjustments with your play style based on what the pins give you. as a person who has a bit of adhd, i lose focus on what to do based on the reaction. these tips get drilled as i watch your video productions. thank you for sharing your thoughts, Brunsnick!

  6. I still have just one ball. So many new balls are available it just makes it harder to figure out which ball I should get next. I did finally hit my RAW with 2000, and a couple weeks later with 1500ish, and saw some better results. I'm gonna hang there for a while longer.

  7. I think the Zero Mercy Pearl would work better for me than the solid because of my slower ball speed and higher rev rate. The solid is way too strong for me. It hooks more than my Pitbull and the Maverick.

  8. It looks as if your bowling balls are drilled fingertip for your middle finger and conventional for your next finger. Why is that? Is there some advantage to having your ball drilled that way?

  9. I am mystified why Brunswick is focused on aggressive solids. The bowling centers in my area have very little oil. I would never be able to throw them. I have a pure envy I have never been able to use. 3D offset is about as aggressive as I can get.
