Love the videos. I haven't thrown a ball in years and I sure miss it! Working nights in a small town doesn't help, but the fact that our little 14 lane house closed down a few years ago really kills it. I think the closest house to me now is roughly 80 miles away, a little far for league night. I wonder if my old Black Hammer would still make that sweet, sweet sound as it crashes through the pocket? Hmmm... I doubt seriously that I could throw it at the same speed or same rev rate I did a few years ago... Damn, I miss bowling.
Same thing here. Live in small mountain town and they closed down the bowling center. 100 miles round trip to bowl. Not in the cards.
Highly considering this ball, still new to bowling but this channel has helped my game grow little by little. Nice work man, doing a great job!
Ball looks great! Would love to see another video showcasing this ball on a short pattern to see if it does well with that too
Packy coming out HOT after the announcement! Quality of the vids continuing to grow, love to see it
He is a pro he will figure it put
crazy what they come out with!! Looks like it has a pretty decent core in it too. It hits pretty hard. I would definitely give in a try in a tourny👍
Wow, I picked up an OG blue hammer from marketplace last season and love that old ball, this just got me so hyped!
That shape reminds me so much of what I loved about my Stingray C. Early read, smooth hook without rolling out.
I bowled as a kid on a saturday league forever. Translated to adult leagues through around 1998. Have not bowled since then except a time or two. Love your videos and I'm completely lost my last ball was a blue rino. I'm now bowling 2x a month a work friend gave me a couple of balls and I had them fitted to me. I know I'm lost out there by myself bowling but it's so much fun. You guys are in a different stratosphere than me but I can swing a mean hook, lol. The detail and sophistication is insane. I might pick up a NU ball. Are you throwing 15lb?
Appreciate the comparison and the details you provided on how you played each ball
This is a great video! I'm still learning how to read the lanes and you explaining what is happening, (after I see your shot) really gives me a better idea of what I should be looking for in warmups.
I absolutely loved the blue in the day, drilled semi finger tip. Rolled my best games. Ive been out of it for 15-20 years and have been thinking about getting back into it. Releasing this blue makes it even more likely I come back. Although Ill roll a 14 instead a 15 being almost 70 years old now. Now I need a spare ball. Back in the day it was my Black Hammer drilled straight. Wonder if they have something like the black too?
I still have my last ball a purple rhino pro love that ball that was my first reactive.
I'm just in the market for a new ball (only get one every twenty years or so) so I guess my timing is good! I may be going with a 14# after using only 16#. Can't hang on to those anymore, keep dropping them.
The Gold Crown from Brunswick is the straight ball.
@@KC9UDX Same here, not bowling alot, no longer in leagues, so the 16 is a bit much right now. I am actually considering dropping back down to my first ball weight (40yrs ago) at 12 lbs.
@@chrish7336 I had a 12# then, kinda wish I still had it
I'm using a IQ tour Ruby right now and loving it , still figuring out the changes from wood lanes to synthetic , but my average has jumped over 15 pins
Those first games show the consistency of a true professional. Jeez.
What how it’s no bueno!
@@TheHouseBowling same score with each ball right? Thats wild! May not have been the same path but they made it to the same destination.
Thanks for the quick review. Looks like it will be a GREAT replacement in regionals for the purple.
It just blows my mind to see a ball hook like that….something I’ve never even tried to do because I never knew how it’s done but it sure is cool to watch…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Maybe something you'll have to try?? For All Of Your Bowling Needs Visit: www.buddiesproshop.com/?ref=Packy
Great comparison! Very informative! I've been thinking about getting another Hammer to replace my Purple Hammer, which I LOVED! This just might be the one! Thanks!!!
When I first heard of this ball I was way to excitedc it looks good thanks for making this video
Hey dude, I really appreciate you making these videos on bowling balls so I can see what I like about it and see what I don’t without having to actually buy it keep up the amazing content. Love you man I might get one of those NU blue hammers.
Don’t forget to grab yours from the link in description at Buddies Pro Shop .com 😁
Thank you for the quick & quality review
Packy, did you notice it absorbing or was it leaving oil on the cover? did it shine up pretty quick or did it hold onto the surface pretty good? I noticed the core flares twice as much as regular purple, you think it’s gonna chew up the lane as much? How much was it flaring? I was gonna drill a fresh purple pin thane but if this one is close I might just go with it, looks pretty damn close
Thanks for the video. The ball has a similar look to the OG Blue Hammer. I loved the OG. I know this ball is nowhere near what the old Blue Hammer was, but I will probably get one anyway.
The OG was a monster!
You’re videos have been a great help and have made me become a better bowler! Thank you
Glad to help you along in your bowling journey 😁
My dad took me bowling when I was Twelve! I fell in love with the game and followed all the grates, watched regularly, had my own ball, shoes, played on a league etc. After my first wife died, I did just a little more bowling (around 35 years all together) and that was when I decided to use a new technique! I could throw my bowling shoes at the pins and get a better score!!
Uhhh I get my balls drilled a lot
just got back into bowling after over 20 years and wow ball have changed a lot.
Thx for insight... definitely going to help for future decisions
New subscriber here. Your content is great and well presented. I’ve just returned to league bowling after a 25 year hiatus. I picked up on all of the BIG changes in ball technology through your channel - my 1996 “Norm Duke Hammer” isn’t cutting it any more. Interested in the new blue NU Hammer. Will be looking at this ball for when it comes out next month.
Glad I can keep you up to date and love to see you getting back into bowling! Don’t forget you can get all your bowling needs at buddies pro shop using the link in description!😁
I can’t believe people are throwing with two hands now . A person would have been laughed out of the bowling alley back in the early 90’s when I was a serious bowler , lol .
You are like a bowling physicist. I like how you break down the shots. Definitely subscribed
Awesome video Packy! When does this Blue Hammer release? My only critique would be the color. The sky blue makes it almost look like a house ball. But if it shapes the way you need and it drives through the pins, i guess the color doesn't matter. Blue is the new purple. 😂
Thanks for the quick review
Im really looking Forward to see what you do in tourneys with the NUBlue... really interested in the ball
That blue hammer looks pretty good up the front half of the lane. Can't wait to see this on some shorter patterns.
found a purple hammer nail ball at a garage sale from the 90s, been using it as my strike ball since lol
You are definitely my top 3 bowling KZheadr packy!!! Can’t wait to get mine.
Good video.. may have mine Monday 😁 got a good feeling about this ball
Was wondering your thoughts on the strings pins there. The pin reaction at that center seemed alot better than where 220ave bowled.
There were several hits that would NEVER have carried on free-fall. These might be "better" than earlier iterations, but as utterly laughable as older ones are, just about anything would technically be an "improvement"... but that's really not saying much. They're an abomination...
Happy to see the Blue Hammer is looking good for you. Also now that it has been a little while, how has adjusting to string pins been?
Only practice here never really bowl for score but it’s harder to strike for sure!!
@@TheHouseBowling I hope my center CDL, Idaho doesn't go with string. They said they wouldn't.
@@arthurr7866where do you bowl in Idaho? I’m from Nampa, what does CDL stand for?
That new Blue hammer looks like it's smooth going down I'll have to try it out!
Subscribed☑️ sick video! Im excited for my pre order! Thanks for the info!
I am really curious to see if it is going to carry down oil like the purple. Especially on some tournament play I will use the purple to create some hold downlane before I go to reactive
Getting my drilled next week. Can't wait to use it!!!!
Havent bowled in almost 10 years. Last ball I truly loved was the IQ Fusion but it cracked. Might try one of my old ones one day when it gets cooler.
Hey packy am about to finish highschool and have been thinking about trying to get onto the shockers and go to witchita for college. Very happy I found your vids
This nu blue hammer should match well with me I have a very good look using the tank line from motiv and this ball seems to fit what those balls do downlane
Idk why but that blue hammer NU just looks nice hopefully you have a great season and win a major or two. Hood luck Packy. Edit: Also I’m very surprised that I’m this early to a video
I hope so too!! I really crunched on time to get this thing done!
Hey Packky! I just saw a vid on the NU blue hammer. My preorder is already in. Lol
lol I saw this ball earlier today first thing I thought was if you are going to love it. I sure hope you do. It is a damn good looking ball.
As soon as I saw the news on this bowling ball I had to come straight to Packy. Thank you for this review!
This ball will be PHENOMENAL👏🏾🔥
Great comparison! I don't think anything will be exactly like urethane, but that balloons damage clo close. Probably as close as you can get.
I had a blue urethane Hammer back in the early 90's that looked like the blue hammer you just got.
Just getting into bowling. I’m really enjoying it man i want to get better. You got a new subscriber today sir
Nice video! It's only "urethane-like" due to the shape, but they don't call it "reactive" either. It is like a whole new category of ball to deal with the PBA's goofy hardness rule.
It isn’t the PBA’s hardness rule. It is all bowling’s hardness rule, USBC included. The Purple starts league, then goes illegal within 10 shots. It’ll harden again, but eventually just gets too soft. We’ll what this blue does, longevity wise, surface wise, etc…. Purple was so good because it was illegal.
*cough* VBP did this 25 years ago *cough*
@@ogdensmissingsign4124was gonna say this isn’t new in the least
I’m excited for this one! Just curious, do you still need to give it a warmup shot like a traditional urethane?
Not really I didn’t notice but don’t take my word for it, only had it for 2 days lol
From what I heard from local staffers,the N.U. is the same ball from shot one to shot 20. Instantly reacts like the purple instead of having to "marinate" the purple in some oil.
I'd be interested in NU's reaction to inconsistent opponents messing up the groove and seeing how it reacts and reads from there. Enjoy the content, keep it up. Oh, the "shop" ad for this video is for the purple hammer shirt...might need to finish milking that and get the NU one.
Let's go! I was almost set on getting the Teal Rhino Pro, but I think this is going to replace my PH as well as that spot in the bag. Looks $$$$
I do also love my teal rhino!
Teal Rhino 🔥
Hey pookie, awesome vid love the breakdowns of your moves.. going to get your biggest fan this ball soon. Of course he talks about you constantly.. love the man You've become.. best of luck in the upcoming tournaments
Hammer>Rhino
After the first shot looks like it gets of the spot just a tad quicker but love the content you’ve helped me more then you’d ever know in bowling keep it up!
@TheHouseBowling, Packy could you do a comparison video of the Purple Hammer Solid Reactive vs. NU Blue Hammer? I’m curious to how different the two are since they have the same RG, Diff, and Core.
Looks like something you’d use once the purple starts leaving flat 7 or it’s hooking too early early in a block. However, that’s coming from someone whose only ever watched the pba vlogs to grasp an idea of how you all play. Both are super smooth shots. Funny how pros prefer smooth shapes while most house bowers prefer sharp, quick, responsive shapes.
I’m sure it will get glowing reviews from you guys on tour 👌🏻
Hi Packy, what is the dual angle layout for those bowling balls. I am interested in drilling a ball like that? What is that layout post to do? Hook more or less. I am looking for a layout that hooks less? What do you recommend?
I remember bowling at them lanes as a kid. Cool seeing another youtuber from my village!
Ball looks good, but curious how it will transition the lanes. Will it impact similar to Urethane, Reactive, or something in-between?
Motiv’s microcell is sort of similar to the blue and it is definitely somewhere in between but closer to urethane. At least in my experience.
@@trickymass8839 So , you're saying, it carries the oil down the lane?
@@williamh1973all balls carry oil down the lane. The order from least to greatest: reactive solid, reactive pearl, microcell , urethane, pearl uelrethane, plastic, rubber.
Lol be careful tell some of these bowlers all their ball carry oil down the lane. They will go bonkers. The skies falling kind of world ending response.
Knowing hammer they put just enough "reactive" in it to absorb oil at 43:44 seconds. So while it wouldn't meet the PBA/USBC rule for urethane, it's likely mostly urethane lol
Love your videos for pointers I'm new to league bowling I just found out I throw a spare ball need help finding a reactive ball any ideas u could help out with
Like the color of the new Blue Hammer. Nice review!
Kinda makes me wonder if they just took one of the old school covers that was much weaker and just wrapped it around this core. Still an interesting comparison. Will have to see how much it pushes oil down lane, if much at all.
Could you compare the flare different by showing track line on balls? This helps me to choose which layout i should put on.
I am very excited to try this ball. But because im not a pro and bowl for fun, should I just go with the purple? My main ball now is a Hammer Redemption pearl. Id like to add a ball, and it was going to be a purple hammer. But now the blue one is here.
Either the purple or the blue you can’t go wrong!!
I'm down just for the chance at a ball xD friend has a hammer, didn't realize they were tournament level, just haven't had one of my own and really wanted one for a long time lol.
Hey the house bowling I just found your channel and you guys are awesome I subbed
I just watched hammers video on it and it looks so good!
It really nice sky blue hammer NU is the best bowling ball and it almost even with purple hammer bowling ball get into strike zone, wow. 😮
Just came here to say that your videos are getting really good, and it was nice to meet you at Northrock!
I think you should, the more information you accumulate on a ball will always translate to tournament conditions! Loved the video.
been watching you forever love the content
Motiv did it first with the MCP. Motiv is always ahead of the game. I love my blue tank. Cool to see other brands going to this new technology
Motiv isn’t ahead of anything other than higher prices
Also Brunswick had BTU before Motivs MCP
@@that_andy_guyMotiv has made it big tho
I can't believe the cost of this ball. Just got the extreme envy it's wonderful. I need a urethane type ball and this looks like it. Great video thank you! Just subscribed
Good looking ball. Love me some Hammers!!
I was genuinely confused when I saw Hammer's announcement video 😂 I was like "what the heck?" 😅😅 this video is what I needed! ❤
Hopefully a little simpler!!
Just got my purple hammer and I’m loving very interested in why the cuter holds with the new blue N.U
The big thing I'm interested in is whether the new Blue creates urethane-like carrydown. Does the cover have urethane-like oil absorption qualities (or lack thereof) or is there something else happening? Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!
I was wondering the same exact thing
I thought the purple reactive was supposed to be the reactive equivalent to the purple hammer? Either way looks 🔥
I think they just have the same core
NU doesn’t act like a normal reactive
Big fan here Pakey, new subscriber to. I think I’m going to love that ball.
I have never thrown a urethane ball before and while I was hoping to get one soon, although now I'm wondering if I should get this instead of a urethane because this might be the future of bowling. I want anyone's opinion on whether I should get a urethane ball or the NU. I bowl in a sport shot league and have been told by a few league members that it's good to have a urethane for some patterns.
Absolutely gonna pick one of these up now
That ball looks so good
I love watching the content I'm looking forward to getting the nu blue hammer I wouldn't mind some swag as well 😉
Looks really good! Might have to get one.
I am going to take an educated guess on cover. Purple reactive cover in pearl. Then jack up the hardness. The harder it is.. the less it hooks, gives off the feel of urethane I used to do some work for Visionary Bowling.. this is what he was trying to accomplish before they shut it down. Harder cover that soaked less oil but still hooked
very nice !!! Hello from Port Orange,Fl
I love Packy hes probably my number 1 favorite bowler and ever since I started watching him I actually throw a purple hammer myself and Im a lefty lmao 😂
Bought the vibe so far so good
I miss bowling I wish my knees were up to the task. I enjoyed my scratch leagues so much. I am firmly against the no thumb bowling though.
As an old school bowler, I'm learning a lot from these videos
Looks nice, definitely a must for me.
I like my hammer. Also like the nail. I would like to try a p the blue hammer some day Thanks for the video.
Wow nice video keep up the good work
I know this is a Hammer review. But just wanted to let you know i bought a Mindset after watching your review on it. Shot 295 last night in league with it. Greek churched the final shot. Fast feet and pulled.
Thats stills great game! Glad your having success with a great ball, for sure in my tournament bag!
Now for the funny part game before 165
This blue NU is super enticing.
I'm left-handed, and my purple hammer never hooked like that. Good video
Winner, Winner, Blue Hammer bowling before dinner 🎳😎👍
