Hammer Bowling Arsenal - End of 2024 Arsenal Building

[@marknoriega7002]

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

[@GrumpaBaggins]

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]

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]

@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.

[@randymelissabutton2159]

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

[@dalewilliams6440]

I have Black Widow 3.0, Scorpion Strike and retired Scorpion. All are still good ball

[@Thumper1968]

Fairly new subscriber here. I'm really enjoying your videos like this, and learning quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!

[@Bowlermn]

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

[@kylemc8851]

Effect, Vaporize, Stealth, Spare ball

[@Jbmccain86]

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!

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]

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

[@dd101dd4]

@@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.

[@shanetoler9905]

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.

[@marke219]

You do a great job

[@JoeBrrFan]

I have all of these except the Hazmat, I'm going with the Low Flare. This is my bag. lol.

[@jeffchamberlin6702]

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!

[@jeffchamberlin6702]

This may have all changed today with new releases… 🤯

[@newbloodink]

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

[@randymelissabutton2159]

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?

[@shanetoler9905]

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 !

[@zackoakes6382]

Hammer just dropped the effect tour and Anger. Where are those in this list

[@d.ryzner7221]

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.

[@hersheljones9467]

Where would the hammer effect tour fit and would love to see a arsenal with it

[@ZVLBowling]

I’ll have videos soon going through the new equipment! Still too early to tell IMO

[@YoPhocFays]

Would you consider the Harsh reality pearl and the Hammer Effect too close to each other in terms of performance to own both?

[@ZVLBowling]

I would, I think they’re very similar

[@YoPhocFays]

@ZVLBowling thank you so much. I love my Hammer Effect

[@jayveenaredo]

How is the scorpion strike compare to the Hazmat? Which is better for speed dominant? TIA

[@ZVLBowling]

The Strike is weaker and sharper than the Hazmat, so the Hazmat will be better for someone who is speed dominant!

[@jayveenaredo]

@ZVLBowling thank you!! Its decided then. I'll get a Hazmat. Great content!

[@jayveenaredo]

​​@@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

[@ZVLBowling]

I’d go with the 3.0 then - the 2.0 is a little weaker

[@jayveenaredo]

@@ZVLBowling I just drilled my Hazmat and it ball extremely well. Thank you so much

[@batsper]

Arctic Vibe smooth? Never seen a smooth one

[@JoeBrrFan]

Pin over bridge, smooths it right out.

[@hasbeenbowler]

Maybe should have waited on this until after today's announcement!

[@ZVLBowling]

I may or may not be redoing my already recorded Brunswick video after today…
