Scorpion Low Flare

This ball is amazing. It handles the dry boards with ease and doesn't hook a ton off the dry in the back end. I have shot honor scores already with this ball and is a staple in my bag. I will be buying a 2nd one in the near future.

I picked this one up last week. It is in some ways a little stronger then I expected on a house shot. That however may be cause the lanes where I bowl my house league are pretty shot. It did however give me what I was hoping for in my PBA experience league in a different center. Basically it is a ball down option for me when my Envy (the original) and or my BW 2.0 hybrid are just too strong on some of those medium length sport patterns.

The only reason the title of my review says it will probably grow on me. Is because almost every other bowling ball I currently own is asymmetrical. The Scorpion low flare is symmetrical. Which is not a bad thing. It does take a little restraining of my brain that a symmetrical ball has a different shape then a asymmetrical ball. I haven't really thrown a symmetrical bowling ball regularly since the Burgundy in 2014. Which I still have, but it looks like I have been bowling in a parking lot with it for the last 10 years. It was time to add a new symmetrical bowling ball to my bowling arsenal. Hence one of the two reasons I purchased the Scorpion low flare. The other was after doing a little research. My gut instinct tells me it will fit between my Envy and my BW 2.0 hybrid. So far so good.

I drilled the Hammer Scorpion Low Flare 4.5” x 30 to be a medium response hybrid symmetric, mildly strong through the mid-lane with a little kick, and it performs perfectly. Removing the flip puck from the LED 3.0 core found inside the Scorpion Sting lowered the differential and flare potential, making this ball a perfect fit for Hammer. I have had tremendous success on our 42’ THS, I am able to play in the oil cutting of my angles, and the Scorpion Low Flare can still get the corner pins out. The hybrid cover gives me the best of both worlds, enough length to play straighter, with traction when I need recovery. When you need to open the lane up and create more shape, the Scorpion Low Flare has you covered. A very versatile piece of equipment, this is one I have been looking for all season long. I used it on a 6:1 39 ft. challenge pattern and whacked them for a four-game block, then went to Aalborg 35’ and had even more success. You can order the Hammer Scorpion Low Flare now from Bowler Builders Pro Shop, and pro shops everywhere. Nothing hits like a Hammer!!

Don’t sleep on the Hammer Scorpion low flare! With all the excitement over the black widow 3.0 don’t look past this scorpion low flare. This is gonna be a great controllable ball for flatter and shorter patterns. This ball reminds me a lot of the web tour from a few years ago which many people loved. If you need a ball to compliment the envy tour later in the night or on shorter patterns I would highly recommend putting holes in one of these. I’ve used this ball on a wide variety of patterns and it seems to always fine a way to control the pocket

Just got back into bowling after 5 years off. Needed new balls and added this one to my bag. Very smooth reaction. Its got to be one of the hardest hitting balls I have ever owned. Would highly recommend it.
