The Cold Blood is the second release from Hammer in this line. It differs from the First Blood in the coverstock and box finish. While the First Blood was a hybrid coverstock that came at 1500 with a Power House Clean ‘n Sheen finish, the Cold Blood is a pearlized cover that comes out of the box slightly rougher, with a 1000 Abralon with Power House Clean ‘n Sheen.

The difference in the cover gave us more hook from the Cold Blood, which we took full advantage of on our medium test pattern. Our testers loved the amount of traction
