It Is NOT URETHANE?! NU Blue Hammer Bowling Ball Review

[@byronfranek2706]

Front to back, the NU Blue seems 5-10 feet later and noticeably more responsive on the back end. Definitely stocking this ball.

Fellow lefty. Love the Purple Hammer!! I do leave more 8 pins than normal, but hey…it’s better than leaving the 7!! I can’t wait to try out this NU Blue!!

[@nordattack]

Thank you Matt for this comparison. Honestly the Blue looks very similar to the Purple. It is also a very beautiful ball. I think I will be picking one up.

Great video, I just bought one of these last night. Does exactly what you are showing in the video.

[@robertstorms5539]

Matt, I practiced with the ball today on a house shot that goes about 41 feet on glow in the dark synethetics. With the ball out of box shot 158, put a 2000 pad to it 247. Do you find just dulling this ball a bit gives it a better shape? I found that out of box it just went to long. Minute I hit it with the pad the ball read the middle of the lane much better. It definitely wants me to be square up the boards.

Great video! You answered all of my questions i had about this ball. I'm considering it or the Cuda Pearl. I'm throw on the slower side so this ball intrigues me.

[@hasbeenbowler]

I know it's not a Purple, but man this ball hits hard!! Great video my man!

[@shelovet0mmy]

The thing I’m interested in that no one has talked about is to see if it holds surface better than the purple because it flares more and bc its Not Urethane and absorbs oil

[@gregkelly2971]

good question, I have a some information on this topic as I am curious as well. I do know that most solid balls go to around 4000 grit (lane shine) after 3-5 games. This is due to the belts on the ball return mostly, ronald hickland has an excellent video about this on his youtube channel. So I would assume if you kept a blue hammer at 2000 you would probably have to hit it with a 2000 pad after each use to get it close. Although brunswick has some amazing chemists so who knows.

I threw 258 with this ball out of box last night. Gonna be the first ball out of my bag for the next little bit.

[@haakonww]

Matt with the blue, looks so deadly 🤩🙌

[@natrixxvision6997]

I picked one of these up a couple of weeks ago. I think it’s great.

[@clayjones2219]

Wonder how it reacts if polished 🤔 .

[@benwintermute2804]

Do you think it's any easier on the lanes? I don't really care but I've played with some surly peeps when I throw my purple

[@the13thking]

The Purple was the greatest ball ever because it soften after 10 shots to illegal levels, and remained softer over time, not recovering up to the original hardness. Nothing will replace it that remains legal. Packy noted it was tweak weaker ad he to toss it ever so slowly. The answer is right there.

[@rodneysheppard3296]

What surface do you have on it?

[@zVask]

I gotta ask again, any chance at a review on the ebonite emerge?

[@l.lboogie7049]

Question for me.. Will we see in your league vlog with nu blue hammer.

[@walkerkennedy3214]

Weight of nb hammer?

[@enniojosefelicecisneros3417]

If it is not urethane then what material is it?

[@ripvanrevs]

Chromanium and uranimus.

[@wingracer1614]

Urethane just like all other reactive balls with just enough of the reactive additive to get it to absorb just a bit of oil

[@CliftonDon74]

Like Ironman, I think they invented a new element, called reactathane 😂 Blue is the new purple.

[@marcusanderson6131]

Kryptonite

[@nordattack]

Resithane.

[@jimward3043]

IT reminds me of the old ebonite omega

[@michianabaddriversin4690]

Earlier with more hook..seems more like the purple reactive

[@rotoryan]

What does that NU look like sanded to 360? That’s the real question

[@adanomics5997]

Nice ball but I will still be buying another Pitch Black. I don't really see anything replacing it

[@ripvanrevs]

My purple outhooks my pitch black by 5 boards. Sometimes one looks good. Other times, the other looks better.

[@adanomics5997]

@rippycripple it all depends on how the lanes are playing. That's why it's important to have a good arsenal but I wouldn't have 2 Urethanes in my bag

[@sQueakTV305]

2 thanes in your bag is insane lol @@ripvanrevs

[@CliftonDon74]

Nice video Matt. I guess blue is the "nu" purple for 2024. 😊

[@davidcross5688]

They both looked exactly the same....

[@davidcross5688]

Seemed like the purple ball hit the pocket better
