Hammer Scorpion Sting
The Hammer Scorpion Sting is ready to strike! This performance ball takes the successful LED core to the next level by increasing the RG and differential and calling it LED 3.0. The mid-performance Scorpion Sting is wrapped in the shiny Symtex Pearl coverstock which is helpful when the oil starts to disappear. This core and cover combination helps create a great length with an impressive change of direction and a more continuous backend on medium oil conditions.

Scorpion Sting
Scorpion Sting (Pearl) is your go to when it comes to medium to dry league house shots. This is a great tournament transition ball during your 6 to 10 game tournaments. This ball responded well with a light 2000 pad and has been even better in performance for me! Do not miss out on this great compliment to the Scorpion Hybrid.

Hammer Scorpion Sting
I had a chance to work with the new Hammer Scorpion Sting today. I tried it on our fresh lower volume THS. The layout I used is 50 x 4 1/2 x 25. I tried it at box surface which is Crown Factory Compound. The Scorpion Sting has a modified symmetric core used in the original Hammer Scorpion wrapped by the purple/silver/turquoise Symtex Pearl cover. I have tried the Scorpion Sting on Kegel Neon, our house shot, which is a low volume, longer pattern.
The intent of the ball is to be a cleaner version of the original Scorpion...a ball to fit in between the Widow Ghost and the Ocean Vibe. From what I see, it appears that the intended purpose of the ball was achieved. For a compare and contrast, I threw my Ocean Vibe today with the Scorpion Sting. The Ocean Vibe, even with a pin down layout which should be a slower/longer transition, is to my eye, a bit quicker than the Sting. The Sting is a little slower/smoother than the Vibe...but definitely quicker than the original Scorpion. Thus, the Scorpion Sting will be best used on medium to lighter volumes of oil- definitely in play when the pattern is breaking down and you need a cleaner piece. I also think that this ball will be effective with a number of different players, styles, rev rates etc.
The Hammer Scorpion Sting is currently available. See your pro shop for more information!
