COVER FAMILIES
Solid vs Pearl vs Hybrid
Most Hammer covers fall into one of three sub-types within the reactive resin family. Picking the sub-type narrows the search before you drill into specific compounds.
MOST FRICTION
Solid Reactive
Highest oil traction. Reads the lane earliest. Best for heavy oil and sport patterns.
Hammer: CFI Solid, Aggression Solid
BALANCED
Hybrid Reactive
Blend of solid traction and pearl length. The versatile middle-ground cover for medium oil.
Hammer: Semtex Hybrid, Juiced Hybrid
LENGTH
Pearl Reactive
Glossier surface, less friction in the front. Saves energy for a defined backend break.
Hammer: Envenom Pearl, Aggression Pearl
