The Dark Legend is one of two new releases from Hammer to kick off 2016, with the other being the Scandal. This ball joins the previous Legend balls in Hammer’s Upper Mid Performance line. It uses the same Gas Mask core from the other Black Widow and Legend releases, but this time it is paired with a brand new coverstock called Semtex Hybrid.
