I went to a demo this past weekend and I absolutely fell in love with this ball. For me it was very smooth and predictable. Reminded me of the Ripd pearl. A ball I had also loved.
Man all of these throwbacks are taking me back. Dear Brunswick can we please get the Speed Zone remake with some HK22? Would be perfect for the holidays 🙏
NICK!!! This Big Time SE looks like low profile monster…and the responsiveness in the slow hook is fantastic-just how much energy is stored up for the pin deck!
This ball is definitely something great and different currently. This will definitely be amazing on those flat medium-long patterns or modified house shots out there. Definitely going to add this ball for myself. Hope people where I live will see this gem!! Review is good as always! Love the content and the podcast with Phil!
Looking forward to this ball. With all the snapping balls we’ve had lately this looks to be a fresh look. Also curious as to polish/surface change adds versatility to it. Great video
Really liked the looks of this ball. Would it be a good ball for low rev low speed player who likes to play straight up with maybe five to ten boards left when they break down on house pattern. Thanks
That is a unique shape. I’ve been having issues with my ball(s) overreacting recently because I have a lot of hand apparently (or at least more than my team mates). I was looking to pickup the ethos but this also looks like a good option. Will you be getting your hands on a hammer hazmat sometime soon?

Nick, please watch this ball on light hits - it deflects quite a bit. It looks like you gave it a long pin to PAP distance in the layout, which should have the ball going longer before reading the lane. But with HK-22 in the cover, I expected a stronger down lane reaction and stronger finish at the pins. I'm guessing less surface will be helpful for most bowlers. I'm not sure if it will match well up on house patterns unless the bowler can rip the cover (rev dominant). Maybe I'm wrong. Let me know if I am. Thanks.
Would you have changed your layout for a sport pattern or Nationals with such a slow hooking paradise? It looks smooth as silk, with no jump or hockey stick like more of the other Brunswick brands with hook monsters!!! keep bringing the great educational content!!!
Ball rolls out or wants to roll out a ton. Even tho its a dull pearl, it should have far more continuation. Doesn't look very good if you actually watch the roll/hit.
It does roll more forward, yes. Still continues through the pins, moreso when I moved in and played through oil. Pin deck exit board was good with open angles.
I would have loved to have seen how this ball plays with a straight down and in projection such as straight up 8/9/10. Oh, and by the way, it's pronounced: "Shay-Air"

Between this and Piranha, there’s a good mix across the brands in reaction shapes.
I would love if they brought back the Z-zone bowling ball with HK-22. My very first bowling ball I had.
Very interesting review. Thanks Nick this was very informative.
I had a key to a bowling alley in the early 90s! 15 to 20 games practice every night.
Yo Brunsnick, I’d like to see this ball hit with compound?
Looks like something the high revvers will enjoy

It might be a bit too dull out of box in my opinion, but if you’re looking for a control piece, this is it. The ball digs in out of the box.
YEPPER REAL NICE ARCER...MY KINDA BALL.......LOOKS GOOD.......🙂
This is quite different from anything else out right now. Did Tommy have any part in getting this ball produced and released?
He may have had some influence.
Thank you very much for this informative video. Is this ball suitable for Rev challenged player?
Yes, it’s very strong and controllable.
Great ball

Yes! Video has been shot, will be posted soon.
I’d be interested to see how this ball would perform if it had some compound/polish on top of its out of box surface.

Speed dominant players will like it out of box. It’s pretty dull OOB. Uses a lot of energy in the front so it’ll be less continuous through the pins.

No I don’t think I would have. Some balls are just smoother rolling and this is one of them.
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
I want one!

After watching this video, this ball would be best on medium to dry conditions?
I don’t think so no, it digs in early so it wouldn’t be for dry lanes. If you shined it up you could make it work.
Brunsnick how would this ball react hit with a 3000 pad?
Should increase length a little. Or you can just use the ball and it’ll get to 3000 grit after a few games. 👍🏻
@@brunsnick thank you sir.
“High concentration of oil in the middle” = GUSH
What would happen if you polish the ball up?
More length, less hook and maybe a little more angular.
How’s this compare to the piranha?
Felt like this was smoother. Overall hook about the same for me.
How would this compare to the GB4 hybrid?
Stronger and smoother for me.
@@brunsnick thanks I think I am taking the right path. Love my Big Time but wanted something to follow it that is a touch cleaner and a bit sharper
THS killer!
I would have loved to have seen how this ball plays with a straight down and in projection such as straight up 8/9/10.

You won’t hear me say it that way. Lol
