He may have flown a hammer-head, or a roll, or both, but there is no aerobatic manoeuvre called a hammer-head roll.
At a pinch, you might see a hammer-head referred to as a hammer-head turn, and indeed the same figure is called a stall turn in the UK. But it still bears no relationship to a roll whatsoever.
Poor attention to detail, at best.

Not a hammerhead roll, which is not.
Jordan Peterson, 56, who has starkly divided global opinion with his views on topics such as masculinity, political correctness and the gender pay gap, had expected to take up a fellowship with the Faculty of Divinity.
However on Wednesday, the department said the offer had “been rescinded after a further review”.
