[@FredSoDak]

Good Luck & Best Wishes.... would love to see you throwing all 6 on last years pattern, as a primer.

[@emperorking900]

Good luck, man. Did my Nationals a few weeks ago. Holy Christ! The Teams pattern was the hardest thing I ever played on. I did six games on it between Bowlers Journal and Teams... and I think I averaged about 150... Singles/Doubles was much much nicer. Just went from aggressive pearl down to the Purple throwing it from the outside and did pretty well. But Jesus, teams this year took my innocence and any notion I know what I'm doing as a bowler. 🤣

[@michaeljavier2678]

Aloha Nick, very sound strategy, well thought out. Mahalo for sharing. Please travel safe, good luck, good bowling.

[@brunsnick]

Thank you !

[@CKBowling1]

Please never discontinue the Envy Tour

[@brunsnick]

Keep telling people to buy them to keep the factory making them 👍🏻

[@johndor1904]

@@brunsnick guess i need to but another one to keep back stock

[@giganerd896]

No Black Widow? Wow, you really must trust the new Hammer Effect. I throw my brother's BW3 occasionally and I love it. I gotta get one of those Effects!

[@brunsnick]

@@giganerd896 first year I didn’t take a widow, I like the Effect that much.

[@steveg7018]

NICK!!! Thank you for walking through your arsenal selection and thought process. I’m heading there in July (ugh heatwave)…but it’ll give me time to square away my new Effect and maybe see about the Envy Tour. I appreciate the insight! Safe travels and post that leaderboard Eagle chasing score!!!

[@ChrisPrice-ei2qn]

What dates you bowing ? I will be out there late June and would love to watch.

[@SplitCentralBowling]

Love the Arsenal! Big fan of the purple and black hammy. Really excited for the Rattler NU as well!

[@kenfrank7708]

I am anxious to get the Rattler NU as I need a ball like that as I don't bowl well with urethane.

[@brunsnick]

This is a good alternative while maintaining that smooth motion like urethane.

[@MrWesker00]

I live in Vegas. Huge Radical fan.!!!I only roll Radical balls and love the channel. Hopefully I'll get to pop in and see!

[@TheDeder57]

Nice line up Nick, solid line up! I did like that Track Tundra for you, however you know your game best, and you are playing on a sport shot, not a THS. Hope you do great, and beat some personal records. I know if you are as loose and consistent as you are in the last bunch of vids, you will do great! 😊

[@brunsnick]

Thanks! Yea it is sometimes hard with so many options available but I have to go with the ones I know I can perform with. Really there's only a couple of spots in the bag each year. This is the first year in a while that a Black Widow isn't going with.

[@aydengianes2515]

Man i would love to see you bowl with brunswick zone proactive man that ball hits ridiculously hard.

[@johndor1904]

Hey, half of your arsenal is my league arsenal!!! Good luck PS im taking a strong look at the NU Rattler I would love to see a purple/black/nu blue core in the Axe cover stock for the super dry burn

[@alittlefield06]

I used the NU Blue out there in April. Best look I had, especially late in D/S. I had the same look, though. Started with the purple, went to a DNA when I needed to create a little bit of angle. Then I was able to ball down to the NU Blue on the same spot. Deepest I got in D/S was standing 15, 10 at the arrows, to 5 downlane.

[@rafabonati7757]

I am seconding the suggestion for bringing the Hammer Arctic Vibe. You might find it perfect for a certain area during practice. It looks so good in everyone’s reviews, including yours!

[@sooner300]

To the point, informative, very nice video!

[@brunsnick]

No fluff, just info!

[@kennethayello8056]

Went back in April. I took: Widow 3.0 Box Finish Envy Tour 500-1000 Effect Rhino pro 500-1000-1500 Black Urethane 78 Was very happy with the decisions I made. 3.0 and effect for a predominant amount of the tourny.

[@Jake5point0]

How did Nationals go for you? Have you done a recap video at all ?

[@malcolmjacobson9634]

I shot 1881 this year playing just inside of 4th arrow on all 3 blocks with an xponent pearl. Good luck!

[@egibs3565]

Surface is important I feel people NEVER mention that. I have a lot of speed but I'm Rev matched. Im taking Web 3.0-1500 Envy Tour -1000 (lane shines fast) Effect-1500(box was too clean) Dark Web-2000 Wed tour hybrid-2000 Web MB-1000 w/compound

[@brunsnick]

@@egibs3565 because they’re not set in stone. I’ll change them during practice in order to fine tune it to the pattern. People need to go into these tournaments knowing this is important to know how to do. 👍🏻

[@egibs3565]

@@brunsnick I thinks it's been the BEST thing I've learned and literally allows me to make my arsenal more versatile. I'll be there this week 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

[@justinc5998]

Solid choices and strategy. Surprised the Intense Mindset didn't make the list. Wonder what Phil will be taking, guess that can be a topic for the next podcast in 2 wks.

[@brunsnick]

He talked about his arsenal just yesterday. The usual suspects in his bag.

[@70yearoldrookiebowler]

I like the purple hammer allot but I also like Pitch Black which I know is a storm ball I was wondering if you think there is much difference between them.

[@hierog]

Scorpion Low Flare? I’m drilling that ball up today to see if it will make my bag to nationals

[@ChesterBoyd-gd8qn]

Good luck on nationals. I have a question do you think this is a good bowling arsenal pink urethane black widow, black widow hybrid 2.0, and black widow 3.0. Or would you go nu rattler, crypto boom, and kartana strike? Thanks, Chester

[@ericsnyder4877]

Great choices nick good luck in Vegas

[@brunsnick]

Thank you!

[@ThatCuddlesGuy]

I took my Envy tour, black hammer 78, prism hybrid, messenger pearl and messenger solid.. pretty much just used the Prism 80% of the time.. practice before doubles myself and a companion on my pair threw urethane then I went to the envy tour and it was good for 8 frames then switched the prism and used that the next 5.. team reminds me of doubles and singles from 2023 so the purple or 78 will be a good starting point

[@marlonvanwijland1428]

Best of luck with the scores... You can let us know how it went in the podcast...

[@brunsnick]

Sounds like a plan

[@dheijnemans]

Did you end up using the Hammer Effect? What did it do for you?

[@brunsnick]

I did in team! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIqsqYZqibaMl80si=k7pI6MBLFc0I8Tg-

[@70yearoldrookiebowler]

I like the Low Flare Scorpion and Black Widow 3.0 but I assume the Hammer Effect replaces both of those choices

[@derryckvanish3733]

Between the track t and hammer effect how about a Columbia 300 high speed or black widow 2.0

[@larrylacroix3944]

Looks and sounds like a great arsenal. Curious why bw3 not in bag. Also high friction wood lanes going to 13 lb balls for house pattern what would be the three balls you recommend low rev low speed senior bowler

[@brunsnick]

BW3 too strong for my game plan. By the time I ever move left I’ll have friction to throw at. As for your question, I’d suggest Rattler NU, RAW Hammer Pearl and maybe something like Beyond Infinity if you need a little more

[@egibs3565]

BW 3.0, Effect, MB, Web Tour Hybrid, Envy Tour, Urethane(doubles as spare ball) I adjust the surfaces on EVERYTHING which in the past has given me different more versatile looks

[@JAW_73]

How would you compare the Effect to the Hazmat?

[@brunsnick]

Hazmat is longer down lane, Effect is stronger and quicker to react.

[@SteveBoos-ng2zk]

Great lineup I had good success with the new conspiracy (500grit) I definitely could’ve used the effect in singles

[@deanainsworth1755]

Nice ball selection 👌

[@acecan6475]

Good video thanks for sharing

[@NeilTruick]

Purple Hammer, Scorpion Low Flare, Black Widow 3.0, Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid, original Envy, plastic spare ball.

[@nordattack]

I did Nats at the end of May. I played straight up 4 board in Doubles and Singles and shot my best Nats set ever. I used only one ball and never had to move a millimeter for all 6 games. The pair simply did not break down or change. On my pair were two lefties and one righty. The rightly was playing a zone inside me, so I had the whole gutter to myself. The gutter to 5 board is fully in play Brunsnick. You should kill it.

[@nygiantswinner]

What ball did you use?

[@nordattack]

@@nygiantswinner Short Pin (2 1/4") Carbide Tank at 500 grit and a spare ball for those corners and middle pins.

[@benxbaker]

Best of luck Nick!

[@brunsnick]

Thanks Ben!

[@mikek4581]

Are they all drilled with your testing layouts?

[@brunsnick]

Yes.

[@bananablaster1234]

I'm a relatively new bowler and haven't bowled outside of house shot. Are you bringing mostly urethane because of the pattern or because they are what fit you best?

[@brunsnick]

Part to do with the patterns yes and where I feel like I’ll have a better chance to score

[@Geofbond1]

When do you bowl Nick? We go in 2 weeks. Nice ball choices to hopefully give you some good looks. I will guess that you shoot 1850 total. Good luck & safe travels.

[@Decquilus]

Hey Nick I bowl With no thumb, is your 60 x5 x20 layout legal for my style of bowling?

[@brunsnick]

Yes

[@davidmalkinson2128]

Good choice but I thought the black widow 3.0 would be in there tbh is there a reason why it isn’t

[@brunsnick]

Too strong for the game plan, would force me too far left too early.

[@davidmalkinson2128]

@@brunsnick ok kinda get u on that but what about if u had an arctic vibe or something just a little stronger then ur purple hammer and could still use same line as I am the same in league I start with purple hammer and then game 2/3 I am needed the artic vibe just another option for you to think about

[@brunsnick]

I have NU Blue and Envy Tour stronger than Purple. Arctic too responsive to play outside and straighter.

[@IIIICoryIIII]

Nick, what about the Arctic vibe 🤔

[@brunsnick]

Thought about it, but I think it’ll be too quick from out and not enough from in.

[@johnsilerio2407]

Too weak. Surprisingly the Fireball read the lane properly but wasn’t enough through the pins.

[@bills321]

I'm a big urethane guy and think you have too many. Urethane really looked good at the BJ but that's it. The key is breaking down the pair. Our team really didn't follow the breakdown plan. However our D/S pair was able to. Urethane wasn't thrown once in D/S

[@machinethesun9243]

Great arsenal, smart.

[@shawnboller5433]

I am only taking my emerge hybrid, gonna have to be a shot maker this year and not a ball thrower…..call me crazy lol

[@tommarlow8277]

Just curious no GB5?

[@brunsnick]

Liked the NU better for playing out.

[@johnsilerio2407]

Cleaner is the best option. I had front 10 with the Innovator Pearl. Stay away from the track.

[@TaxBuddyJEmAng]

Are all of them almost the same layout? What layout do you usually use bro? :)

[@brunsnick]

The thick shells have 4” pins by 20°, the NU is 4.5” x 20° and the asyms are 60x5x20.

[@tonyrubaszewski6811]

Good luck

[@mikeday6908]

I hate that Nationals isnt on bowltv anymore.

[@Topnikko]

I feel like you need a Tundra Fire in there.

[@brunsnick]

Not sure where it would fit. Too flippy for playing out, not enough ball playing in.

[@erdalea20]

Will you keep us posted? To bad you cant record it :/

[@brunsnick]

I will 👍🏻
