🔨Hammer HAZMAT ☣️ | Ridiculous Skid-Flip Symmetrical

Think Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid... but in a symmetrical ball.
With the Hazmat core and HK22 Semtex Hybrid, the Hazmat peels off the spot and goes sideways through the pins. What a fun ball to throw with over 7° of impact angle on a lot of shots!
With the help of SPECTO data, it'll help tell the story about reaction shape, overall hook and continuation through the pins. Here are the SPECTO data points used and definition of each term:
Launch Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
Entry Speed - Speed measured at the pins. (What you'd see on your home center MPH screens)
Rev Rate - Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Launch Angle - The angle the ball traveled the first 10 feet.
Break Point Position - Board at which the ball was at its outermost position.
Total Hook - Total number of boards the ball crosses on the way to the pins.
Hook Power - Number of boards the ball hooked based on the True Breakpoint.
Entry Angle - The angle of the ball between 51 and 55 feet.
Impact Angle - The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
Pin Deck Exit - Ball position at the end of the pin deck.

No frills, no crazy music, no nonsense commentary, this is the best channel for bowling ball reviews! Thanks BrunsNick.

[@brunsnick]

Welcome! and Thanks!

[@mikejamrozy775]

I could go for some Eastern Bloc Death Metal

[@cyan0xide]

@@mikejamrozy775 yeah. i want more frills and nonsense like when he sanded his ball every grit!

[@brunsnick]

Once in a while I’ll throw in some fluff and gimmicks.

[@BowlersRant]

This ball is bonkers good. I love that Big B brands have really stepped up the performance offerings. 100% outstanding bro!

[@user-oc8rn5yp2u]

I appreciate the analysis from multiple angles especially since I am a straighter player. I like not having music to distract too.

[@chrishanson8199]

Sold! I needed that comparison to 2.0 hybrid to seal the deal!

[@denmanfite3156]

I love the colors/pour on every picture of the Hazmat I've seen.

[@larrylacroix3944]

Great looking ball. Really liked the video

[@darrelmurphy4930]

Good video. I love my Hazmat. Still learning all the tricks to the pocket.

[@maxxbenzz7842]

Your channel is my favorite bowling channel. Love the way you throw the ball. I like that ball for sure!

[@brunsnick]

Thank you!

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

Nice video Nick-adamus! For the lane condition, that Hazmat looked best with a slightly slower speed, opening the angle. I like seeing you move around the lane, figuring it out, showing the Specto. Great information sir!

[@richjones6207]

Thank you for your content. I really appreciate your presentation. Best place to go for the brands. I'm excited to see your C300 Piranha review!

[@brunsnick]

Thanks! Will be up Sunday 👍🏻

[@russellgilbert3453]

Yo, I remember the Hammer Infection. Man, I'm tellin' my age. 😂

[@butchcoolidge3261]

I think I could do well with this one in league. I’m a down and in bowler, but it’s nice to see that it works inside. Nice job as always. I could definitely buy this one just from watching your video.

[@remington1439]

4:22 yeah that was a great shot Nick. I think this is the best thing that Brunswick did putting you on the lanes to show off there production line of balls. Great job Nick

[@brunsnick]

Appreciate that. Thank you.

[@badgerbasser]

Great Vid Nick! I throw the ball a bit slower now as I am 59. Your shots gave me a very good idea what to expect if I purchase the ball. Thanks.

[@brunsnick]

Awesome! Enjoy if you do! 👍🏻

[@DrDime_]

Imagine being able to bowl and practice when you have your own private lane. Lucky dog.

[@richr115]

You've made mention that you work for Brunswick before. Can you tell us in a video how you got started working in the bolwing industry and what you do now. Thanks...love your videos.

[@brunsnick]

I can sure try

[@terryyorty1732]

Had to take the polish off mine. Was leaving 8 and 9 pin with it. Not anymore, ball hits like a mack truck 10 back! Mine is drilled pin down and I love it.

[@mattyhayes3201]

Noice!!

[@chrishoffman9321]

DUDE! You make making shots so easy. Jealous

[@brunsnick]

Some days are better than others, was pretty sharp on this day. 👍🏻

[@dylanwages8717]

Reminds me of of the plague and the infection more so the infection but with more downlane movement due to it being symmetrical as the infection was asymmetrical.

[@ThatCuddlesGuy]

You said it’s a brand new core, and I get that overseas balls don’t get talked about a lot but the core in the Hazmat was used in the Ultima line

[@NineFingersDesign]

Thank you for another great video. I have a #15 Scandal Pearl (Not the S). I absolutely LOVE the way the Scandal performs for me, however it is getting old, and I need to drop to a #14 due to an elbow replacement. Do you have any thoughts or comments regarding the Hazmat as a comparable replacement for the Scandal Pearl, or is there another you might recommend I research? Many thanks for the great videos. Jason

[@brunsnick]

By the numbers it’s as close as it gets. I have no experience with Scandal but it looks like this would by the closest comparison in the Hammer line.

[@ericwestfall1249]

I appreciate the ball review as always. I purchased a DV8 verge hybrid because of your review and already love it. My league teammate wants a hk22 hybrid symmetrical now. How does this hazmat compare to the Verge hybrid? To me it seems quicker and skids slightly longer. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

[@brunsnick]

I agree, I think it’s cleaner and flips more on the back with extra through the pins.

[@nippijuju]

I want them to bring back the epidemic colors scheme back

[@traviskirk3834]

That looks like the infection from back in the day with a symmetric core

[@keithmartin2529]

How does this compare to the sealth pearl, they have almost the same numbers

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball hammer hazmat bowling ball with dot technology drill anywhere technology and dynamic core technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time brunsnick

[@JimLynch3309]

I have a track mean machine asymmetrical got it in the late 90s it hooks early strong ball overall have to move left when lanes break down and I love playing angles and looking to replace it with something. I am high rev and possibly considering no thumb hole. Your opinions on comparable balls Interested in envy tour pearl and hazmat love the look of them

[@brunsnick]

If you’re looking smoother and stronger then check out Ebonite Big Time. 👍🏻

[@pcolesjr]

Nick how do you aim. What do you look at on the lane. Watching you you look effortless. I know you work. Actually this is a good topic for you……..please

[@brunsnick]

Short answer is I look at the first set of dots and target thru the arrows for my launch angle.

[@adamthielman]

New to hammer…what would you build around this ball for a three ball arsenal?

[@brunsnick]

Wanting all reactives?

[@davidhenderson3895]

I love my Black widow 3.0. Could this compliment it on league night?

[@brunsnick]

Yes absolutely.

[@MrYuk-lm3xp]

I'm starting to think Brunswick works for you🤔🤔🤔

[@jfabritz]

So how does the Hazmat compare against the Scorpion Sting?

[@brunsnick]

More aggressive off the spot with HK22 and more differential.

[@tay4lyfe95]

What is that lane surface? It doesn't look like HPL or pro avellane.

[@brunsnick]

It’s a boutique Brunswick Pro Anvil in White.

[@earthwormjim7310]

With some surface on this ball would it be a stronger more continuous ball than the dark web hybrid?

[@brunsnick]

Absolutely. Much more flip especially with surface.

[@thebigeasy8609]

Sa-Weet!

[@Fejix87]

Is this different enough from a cuda pearl to have both?

[@brunsnick]

I think so. Hazmat is a little stronger and you can separate them more with a little surface.

[@dragonstone9270]

How does this compare to the Bigfoot Hybrid?

[@brunsnick]

I think cleaner that Bigfoot hybrid. That big core with the protrusions gets rolling earlier.

[@TeamIFDVideos]

You think 2.0 hybrid and this can coexist in a bag?

[@brunsnick]

Yes absolutely. There’s a time and place for sym vs asym as the lanes start out and transition.

[@rafabonati7757]

You forgot to wear your personal protection coveralls for this one!

[@brunsnick]

They were delayed from Amazon! 🤣

[@dougnichols3358]

This one or the Ethos?

[@brunsnick]

Take your pick. Both are equally good in my book.

[@lyndonjames6485]

Hazmat or Black Widow 3.0???

[@brunsnick]

Want more overall hook or more skid-flip angular motion?

[@user-of7tt6vh3h]

Both lol

[@alexstriker1969aw]

Hi Im Alex from germany and im in Bowling for 43 years. Had you ever the chance to play the Original Piranhas? I played them all, and they where extrem good balls😊 Alex

[@brunsnick]

Not since the 90’s. I had the original.
