This is the type of video I have been begging for on so many other channels. A clear explanation of a balls reaction on a house shot. So many videos out there are not very relevant to the average bowler. No offense but most of us are not needing to know what a pro bowler sees from a ball on a sport pattern cranking it. In my perfect world there would be reviews with a stroker, a tweener and a cranker throwing on a typical fresh house shot followed by a lane transitioning and lastly a burnt up lane.
I'm a casual bowler who bowls an avg 180 and hooks a $2 yard sale ball(Columbia 300?). I just bought this ball and have absolutely no idea how I should drill it. This video might as well have been Spanish
laneside reviews is pretty good for that sort of thing, but what gets me the most is so many of the bowlers explaining these things are 2-handed, which is fine, I'm not one of those boomers who hates 'those damn kids" for "ruining bowling" or whatever, but 2-handers seem to get maximum speed and rotation, and I don't, which makes the footage of how the ball reacts irrelevant to me. I'd like to see a lot more comparison vidoes like this, with several examples of the same ball drilled different ways thrown by different people... I'd also really love it if I could find more info on older balls and comparisons between one ball and another. We REALLY need some kind of database.
Good job on explaining this ball! I like these kind of videos, by comparing two different layouts to help bowlers how to get the right drill for them is very useful information. Thanks!
Just had my blue drilled last week and shot 205, 235 and 177 total series 617 in the league this week. Very controllable and looking forward to more good games ! Thanks for the tips.
I am a left handed conventional bowler, looking forward to seeing your league play. I really like this nu blue hammer. Sure would like to get one. Liking what I’m seeing from your reviews. Pin up will win I think.
Your explanation and the way you expressed it really helped me perfectly understand. I just brought Purple Hammer 2 months ago so maynbe this my new ball LOL I also left Two handed. Btw Hi from thailand
I have been seriously considering polishing mine as well. Its just really strong for what I want it to be. Not that I havent been bowling big scores with it because I have, I just have other balls in the same strength category that I would rather throw if I need to move that far in.
Love your videos and your knowledge. In your opinion, what ball would be the closest ball to the DV8 Poison to use? I'm looking to get a new ball and I liked the feel of the Poison but, it's retired and need a new option. Please help me
Yeah for house shot sure. I’m still looking forward to seeing both layout on sport shot that purple hammer really dominates. What layout to put on is the key for most players. Great video as usual.
I know that in his latest video, BrunsNick threw both the Purple Hammer and NU Blue Hammer on 34' Wolf. That definitely showed the difference in what these balls do.
I've always bowled right handed with two fingers and a thumb. Over the summer due to an injury I switched to left handed with 2 fingers like you throw. So I really enjoy your channel. I initially got a Phaze 2, which got too strong so I've been throwing a Hustle M-M I hit with a 4000 pad. I have slow ball speed with pretty high Rev rate, I'm better at trying to finesse the ball.... but lately the Hustle has been hooking too much. Do you think this Nu Blue Hammer would be better for the way I like to throw?
One of my first series with the NU i rolled a 278 with the box surface... after that though I struggled with it, played around with all sorts of surfaces and couldn't find what I was looking for until I hit it with the polish.
Another great video Packy... you DEFINITELY bowl better without the flippers. LOL. If I were to drill a Blue Hammer for myself, it would definitely be pin up. I use release position along with speed and surface adjustments to get the shape i need.
@@TheHouseBowling yes. It was entertaining to watch you go down the approach with flippers, but also concerned for your safety at the same time. No fouls in action. 😀
I was just thinking earlier that you should make a more in depth video about the NU Blue Hammer replacing the Purple Hammer on tour. Great minds think alike.
I drilled my nu pretty close to the same as my purple, except cg on pap, and the nu flares about 3" total with line separation and hooks like crazy earlier than my purple, which i keep at 360/800 and the nu was out of box. I was at a tournament so didn't try too many things to get a bead on it. But tonight im throwing it on wood and i anticipate some wild ball motion. The nu is nothing like anything else in my bag, and i have 7 different urethanes and many more reactives. I even took my hand out of it and released off the top of the ball and it still continued through the pins. The nu blue is a pretty little monster. Honestly they should release it in pink as well.
Liked the comparison of the shiny vs dull balls. I have been having better success by adding surface to my bowling balls, especially the Outer Limits. As always, very informative and...oh, like the haircut. Makes you look like more of a company (Brunswick) man and I bet Madison likes it too!
Packet, what is your opinion on the Blue Hammer Vs DV8 Alley Cat? I’m a no thumb bowler. I used an alley cat for the last 4 yrs. Ball cracked. I knew exactly what the alley cat was going to do regardless of where I threw it. I’ve been trying to find something comparable to the alley cat. I know cover stock makes a difference.
Can't wait to drill mine up. It figures I am out of town and it showed up today. Need to drill it Saturday morning for the tournament I am bowling that day. 😂
It's gonna be weird not seeing urethane on tour next year(but I still get to watch other bowlers use urethane on non PBA tournaments٫ especially Packy٫ but I can't wait to see what bowling ball companies will do to make new urethane like bowling balls)
Urethane will still be used on tour. They just can't use any urethabe balls made before Aug. 1st and the spec'd out hardness needs to be 78. It's not banned... some rules just changed that's it
what ball would you recommend for a tweener bowler? im averaging around 160-170 in a league with an old ball i got off facebook for $20 but it doesn’t really move a lot
I'd be interested in seeing some videos with the NU Blue where you had multiple VAL angles but kept the Pin to PAP constant. Like VALs of 10*, 25*, 40*, 55*, etc
The nu blue hammer is a cool looking ball for sure, but I play in a house with 30 yr. old spl and the oil pattern for the house shot is medium to medium dry, so lots of early friction to deal with and to top it off I have low ball speed (14.30 at the sensor down lane) My revs are 290 to 300 and this type of condition really forces me left. would this be the type of ball to use on this type of house shot with the stats that I have? I'm really looking for equipment that will help me play more up the boards with control and good carry. I'm currently using weaker balls and I feel that sometimes with weaker equipment that the carry isn't that great. how would you advise a guy like me on this kind of condition? do I just stick with the weak stuff and clean up the spares like I have been doing? or would this new type of ball be a better look better carry and or just better over all?
NU Blue is on my radar. I threw the Blue hammer back in the day. Your Pin down patter looks more like I tossed it. Im right handed. I would line up center to 1st spot left, Let it down around the 1st arrow rigth and it would go out to 5-7 board on a common night. I would adjust as the lanes chaged. So more than likely Pin down. I just dont knwo what all the other numbers mean.
@@TheHouseBowling You would have loved it. I went from a 185 avg with my black to almost immediately 200 avg with the blue. It was an awesome ball. I only wish I hadnt garage saled it. I had shoulder issues and the Dr said bowling was out. I had it repaired and have bowled a little house ball stuff but now Im almost wanting to get back in. But at 70 years old its going to be a 14 vs a 16 and Im not expecting 200 avg anymore :)
@@TheHouseBowling PS, could you do a video or have you done a video on what all the drilling numbers mean. For those of us that are 1990s, 2000s bowlers coming back into it, the drill up numbers all the people I watch spout out, are very confusing.
Shout out to Denver. Let me know if you ever in Pueblo. I’ll get you a couple free games. What’s your personal opinion on the best layout for the strongest back end snap
I’m with the pin down polish to keep the lane break down a little longer so maybe you can play with in a few broads and not have the fronts break down so fast
I like my purple hammer. I like the way it makes it down the lane and I dont have to make to many adjustments.Beibg a women and not being able to throw hard it dies the work for me. I can use it even after the oil changes abitcafter two keague ganes . However my team mate says my urethane ball is making a mess on the lanes. I tried the Twist but it doesn't have the same hitting power. I went back to my purple hammer. But my dilemma is " do i do whats best for the team" ?

Core in the Nu Blue is not very dynamic, so pin placement is not going to play as much of a factor. That polish is what is really making the difference.
I truly do not understand why more bowlers dont play that down the left side and and in (or for righties down the right side and in) shot. The pocket explodes every time. It seems like the more hook the more potential problems.
@@TheHouseBowling I agree and appreciate how honest that opinion is. I grew up bowling. I was kind of a big deal (just kidding) and I always noticed the huge hook guys just couldnt back away from it when the oil patterns werent compatible. But the guys who had the lack of ego or whatever it is would change to that run it down the 5 board and watch it creep into the pocket and absolutely dominate. Its actually one of the things I love so much about Mitch. He bowls with no ego. You are similar for what its worth.
Will the Purple Hammer, Pitch Black and other Urethane like balls be banned from the USBC Masters and U.S. Open? Or will they be allowed since they are USBC tournaments open to Amateurs just apart of the PBA Schedule.
They have followed usbc regulations in the past. I saw butruff using a plugged ball during qualifying one year as that was allowed by usbc but not for pba run tournaments
Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball blue hammer not urathane bowling ball with carbon fiber technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time packy
Revs are not needed to throw urethane. That is false intel. I have an original Cobalt Rhino urethane with no core and simple label layout. I only have 135 revs. Shot 267 with it last week. Revs don't matter.
@@nordattack I wasn't talking about all urethanes. I've thrown three 279's with my old C300 Stingray(RIP). But the amount of ten pins and pocket 7-10's I left with the purple Hammer was really uncommon. Maybe it is the drilling. It maybe user error. Either way I couldn't figure it out.
@@nathancummins968 It is not lack of revs, it is burn up. This happens with me as well. Purple is a super strong cover that reads the lane early and hard. On house shots, unless you have very high speed, it is only going to work for a short time before it starts dying out and leaving corners or pocket splits. If you want to use Purple on House and you have medium to lower ball speed then you need to do two things: 1. Shine it up, 4000 grit and let it lane shine from there. 2. Put a weaker layout on it that allows it to not read the lane so early. Then it will retain energy for the back. The layout I use on my Purple is 80x4.75x45 and I keep it at 4000 grit and let it lane shine from there. Weaker layouts for House and Stronger layouts for Sport.
@@nathancummins968 Many people make the mistake of putting a strong layout on a urethane ball. This is the worst thing you can do for a house shot. Urethane is the most early of all balls, combine that with a strong layout and you are just asking for burn out off your hand and weak hit at the pins. That's why your Stingray carried so well, it was older and harder urethane that did not read the lane as strong as modern urethane does. That's why my Cobalt Rhino with no core, zero flare layout and 2000 grit hits like a tank on House.
The discussion alone made it worth the watch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Packy!
