The Viral Hybrid is the third overall Viral released by Hammer, joining the Viral Solid in the current product line. While not having as much length as the original pearlized Viral, it is definitely longer than the polished Viral Solid. This ball’s polished Violent Flip Reactive Hybrid cover and medium differential symmetrical core produce a combination that needs to see some friction in order to be at its best.
Our testers liked this ball best on our dry test pattern. This is the shortest oil pattern we test on and it also has the least amount of oil volume per board. The Viral Hybrid’s polished cover gave us increased length over the Viral Solid. On a drier lane condition like this one, we liked seeing this longer
