I do really appreciate my Hammer balls. Pure Envy, Effect, Dark Web Hybrid, NU Blue. All great. The Effect is my favorite so far. Looking forward to the Anger and Effect Tour.
@randymelissabutton2159 There are a few video reviews popping up now for the Tour. It looks good to me. I hope that they bring out Anger videos today, too.
I am a storm guy but I do have 2 hammer balls. I have the hammer axe as a spare ball and the artic vibe. Even tho I'm a storm guy, when hammer released the artic vibe, I had to have it and so I got it. I don't regret it! It's really nasty two handed
I'm really trying to figure out a good wood lane arsenal for Saturday. A solid assym like the 3.0 is just too strong. Honestly, solids in general might not even be in play. But, it's good to just have one. Envy tour maybe. IDK I feel I'll bring hybrids and pearls. 4 balls I know I'm bringing are my spare ball, hammer effect (Strong Sharp), Rattler Big Bite (medium smooth), and rattler NU (weak smooth/urethane slot). Just not sure on the other 3... Bringing 7 with spare ball. I have a TON of balls to choose from, willing to change surfaces if need be. OG rattler, Deadly rattler, DV8 Chill Pearl, TNT infused (freshly polished w/ CtD), Zen Gold Label (freshly polished w/ CtD), Harsh reality, hammer 3.0, Envy Tour, GB5, Hustle Xray, Eternity (currently 1k/compound for league shot), & Reality check (1k/compound for league).
@@ZVLBowling I took 14th. Not bad. I had to ball all the way down to my NU. I tried my big bite game 1 and it was just too strong. Left foot was on 28 board game 1 throwing between 2nd and 3rd arrow. I was able to stay there all 4 games. Missed some easy spares. I should have started NU games 1 and 2, 3 and 4 using the deadly rattler. Oh well! That's bowling for you.
The only difference I would make for me is to swap out the Arctic Vibe for a Black Pearl urethane, as this would also be my spare ball. But since I’m speed dominant and love the Effect I thought maybe to replace the BW3.0 with the Pure Envy. Thanks for another great video!
3.0 is king, hell yeah I pick the 2.0hy over the Effect, Low Flair is just amazing, Vibe for me is lane dependent but good, I love my Raws you flick those all day and it smacks
Would the new Effect Tour and Anger make that list I wonder? I’m guessing you filmed this video before they were released yesterday lol I do have to say that Arctic Vibe is a must have for two handers! I use it game 3 unless the lanes are playing dryer than usual lol!
Just a FYI about the Hammer Effect. It's very easy to get track burn when the lanes start to get dry. Happened to me so please be careful hammerheads !
I am finding myself becoming a Hammer head, I only have 2 of these balls, but 4 of my 6 balls are Hammer. I need a step down from my BW 2.0 hybrid (my strong sharp) , and I am very interested in the Scorpion Strike or the Artic Vibe, but since I am a little speed dominate, I am looking more at the strike, does that make sense?
Tour effect is going to be smoother rolling straight angles and a lot less hook than a widow 3.0 or non tour envy line so basically a rev dominate amateur tournament ball. Anger is think is going to replace the ocean vibe just cleaner longer cuz high rg and way more angular think endeavor angular.

I'm actually interested in seeing how the Anger fits, and of course the Effect tour looks like it is an Envy tour replacement on paper

@@GrumpaBaggins yeah the Anger really appears to be a slightly stronger Scorpion Strike (same cover, slightly stronger core)

Please do this on Brunswick, Ebonite, Track. Would love to see the evaluation of their new equipment.

A Hustle XRay should be really good, otherwise stick with the shinies like the Chill and Deadly

You do a great job
Fairly new subscriber here. I'm really enjoying your videos like this, and learning quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!
Effect, Vaporize, Stealth, Spare ball
I have all of these except the Hazmat, I'm going with the Low Flare. This is my bag. lol.

This may have all changed today with new releases… 🤯
My Hammer 3 ball arsenal is = BW 3.0 or Effect for starters. BW 2.0 for the transition. Hazmat Pearl to finish up. Never had any issues yet.
3.0 is king, hell yeah I pick the 2.0hy over the Effect, Low Flair is just amazing, Vibe for me is lane dependent but good, I love my Raws you flick those all day and it smacks
I have Black Widow 3.0, Scorpion Strike and retired Scorpion. All are still good ball

can you make an updated brunswick one including hammer?
Where would the hammer effect tour fit and would love to see a arsenal with it
I’ll have videos soon going through the new equipment! Still too early to tell IMO
Hammer just dropped the effect tour and Anger. Where are those in this list

How is the scorpion strike compare to the Hazmat? Which is better for speed dominant? TIA
The Strike is weaker and sharper than the Hazmat, so the Hazmat will be better for someone who is speed dominant!
@ZVLBowling thank you!! Its decided then. I'll get a Hazmat. Great content!
@@ZVLBowlingDo Black Widow 2.0 be better for me than Black Widow 3.0?
I'm currently using Reality but I think I need a stronger ball
I’d go with the 3.0 then - the 2.0 is a little weaker
@@ZVLBowling I just drilled my Hazmat and it ball extremely well. Thank you so much
Would you consider the Harsh reality pearl and the Hammer Effect too close to each other in terms of performance to own both?
I would, I think they’re very similar
@ZVLBowling thank you so much. I love my Hammer Effect
Maybe should have waited on this until after today's announcement!
I may or may not be redoing my already recorded Brunswick video after today…
Arctic Vibe smooth? Never seen a smooth one
Pin over bridge, smooths it right out.
