Ron I love your "Back in the day" Ebonite/Hammer history lessons. So educational and interesting. Now I have the BW 2.0, NU Blue and Envy Tour Pearl a hybrid is next on my arsenal list. Since I only bowl on house shots this Arctic Vibe looks amazing. Thanks to your review this lefty may just have filled that slot. Good stuff Ron!

I loved my Hammer Vicious when I had it and I do miss that ball every time I bowl, sure there are better bowling balls out there that run circles around it but the OG purple Vicious was special to me. Appreciated the callback to that ball. I moved away from Hammer and went back to SPI since their bowling balls are made in the US, but I will always remember the Vicious..

awesome ball, just missed my ffirst season in 25 yrs getting hip replacement done so l can bowl again My first vibe was the Midnite Vibe and l loved it. last season l bought the ocean vibe when it came out. and took it to a 3000 grit and what a difference , l can control it. being a older lefty my ball speed is only 14.5 the ocean vibe was to jumpy until l took the shine off it and down to a 3000. cant wait to add this one to the aresenal

Never rolled a Vibe before but have heard good things. This Vibe looks awesome with shelf appeal/color combo and performance. (Kinda reminds me of the Turmoil line from DV8 that I used to roll and love, especially the hybrid. I could be wrong though it's been a long time.) Think I might need to pick one up and try a vibe.

Did way too much research on a new ball for my 13yo, settled on the Vibe when the Pro Shop did not even have one in stock. Had them order one for her, drilled it and she's immediately up 15-18 pins over her Hustle. Much smoother and retains the back end for her lower rev rate. Since then I swear I've seen 10 of these on the lanes. Going to be the "new ball" for winter league play as the performance / price point is near perfect on it.

I'm a huge vibe fan, have owned most of them over the years. My question is, which would you say this edition most closely resembles in shape? My all time favorite is the orange, but I also loved the cherry. Least favorite was the onyx, it just read way to fast and didn't flare well for me. I'm liking the toxic, but it was a bit twitchy out of the box. Now that it's got some lane shine it has become smoother, but definitely bites when it sees the dry.
