Hammer Anger Solid Bowling Ball

Here's my take on the new Hammer Anger Solid. The Anger Solid features a modified Infamous symmetrical core wrapped by a Semtex Solid coverstock colored in black, gray and red. Box surface is 2000 Siaair. The one I threw in the video has a 45 x 4 1/4 x 25 layout. I tried it on THS and 2025 PBA Chameleon. The new Anger Solid accompanies the original Anger released by Hammer toward the end of 2024. The original Anger was designed to be a quick response pearl for lighter volumes of oil. The new Anger Solid has not only a solid cover but a more aggressive surface preparation. Notwithstanding the high RG core (2.56), the manufacturer's intent was to create a stronger overall ball with a little rounder shape to it. Compared to a similarly drilled original Anger, the new Anger definitely reads earlier and is smoother in its response. That being said, my sense is the Anger Solid, like the original Anger, is best suited for medium to lighter volumes of oil. The Anger Solid showed a motion in between my quickest and slowest response bowling balls. I had trouble getting the ball to read PBA Chameleon properly at box surface. However, the 2025 PBA Chameleon has close to 34ml of oil. I think for centers that have lighter volume house patterns or even older sport patterns with lighter volumes and medium to shorter distances, the Anger Solid will ABSOLUTELY be in play as there will be some friction in the front to help get it to read correctly. The Anger Solid is readily available, see your local pro shop for more information.
