The MOST ANGULAR Vibe EVER?! | Hammer Radioactive Vibe Review | SPECTO Data | BrunsNick

HK22 coverstock technology comes to the VIBE series and holy smokes does it make a statement! Not only with the color, but the all-out backend performance on the lane!
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:
Ball Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
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.
The Hammer Radioactive Vibe is available starting 07.13.2023.

I'm going to order this ball before next season starts. The Vibe core is very forgiving for my slow ball speed. It rarely gets lost. This one has more punch than my old one.

[@brandonleonard6987]

Wow, that was fun for the whole family. My wife was cracking up. She totally wants that ball to match her ocean vibe. Great video!

[@josephauler6165]

Loooveee this ball. Buddy gave me his for free as he hated it. First two games after drilling 268/279 on a fresh house shot.

[@janmedenvillanueva9615]

Jesus Christ! Nick, this is a winner! Finally seeing more Solid HK22s.

[@shadowthagreat]

I’ve never used a hammer ball but have really been liking the shape and look of this ball.. and I really like that the core numbers don’t change at 14lbs.

[@stompingpeak2043]

Hammer balls are great. Just like other companies. The only negative with them is they don't have storm as the label so people will never try them. Honestly every hammer ball I've used hooks alot more than storm stuff. Motiv always feels like the in-between for me.

[@shadowthagreat]

@@stompingpeak2043 thanks for the information, I am looking for a new ball to add to my arsenal something more aggressive than my eternity and I’ve never used anything else besides storm.. but my coach is a hammer rep and it’s got me thinking I really like the widow 2.0 hybrid and this ball in particular.

[@kingshabazz1310]

Nothing hits like a Hammer!!!

[@andregentsy621]

Great video as usual, this ball looks tremendous! Just pre ordered mine, keep the content coming outstanding!

[@thetrain3302]

She’s a beaut, Clark

[@BowlerJ1]

This ball would be great for any bowler who is speed dominant. On medium-dry conditions they can pitch it right and watch the ball finish strong.

[@brunsnick]

Very fun ball to do that with!

[@noellopez8474]

Just started bowling like alittle over 2 months ago and figured I was gonna get this one and a defender and asked the differences and he said the defender hooked more midlane and this one was more of a smooth roll. Ended up buying this one for 55 used in really good shape no scuffs or anything and bowled a turkey my first game!

[@Brogers97]

This looks waaay stronger than the ocean vibe I'm really surprised! Great video Nick can't wait to drill mine up! ☢

[@rayjayks]

I had the DV8 Yellow Pearl MIsfit that you mentioned. It was a very flippy ball off of the dry but doesn't appear that it would come close to this Vibe, which looks earlier and much stronger overall. The Misfit coverstock just was not very durable in my opinion. I also tried out the GB4 hybrid recently, and although it had a "benchmark" type shape and control, I thought it was extremely weak going through the pins for me (I expected it to be long but not without some backend reaction - multiple entry angles I tested). This Radioactive Vibe looks much stronger than that one too. Thank you so much for the great content and testing! Having the SPECTO data is great!

[@atown723]

HOLY, I thought I was only sold on this ball because of the color... You should compare this to the most recent GB2!

[@ALFAJERKBFH]

That looks like a fun ball. I just bought 3 hammers in 3 months. I'll have to suggest this to my brother-in-law.

[@byronfranek2706]

My favorite ball review channel.

[@brunsnick]

Thanks!!

[@DALOWRECORDZ]

Love this ball 300 out the box 📦 only practice was warmup before for league game. Nothing Hits Like a Hammer 🔨 Vibe 🟢

[@kitkelso4467]

I've already ordered it I was about to get me an ocean vibe but this came out and I said sold

[@carlhall5783]

When I first read this was a solid I was definitely hoping for it to be more like the blue vibe and onyx vibe but it looks wa y more angular

[@brandonferris8934]

I WISH I had the ball speed to throw one of these. I'm a speed-challenged two-hander who converted very late in life. You very, very rarely see a ball this responsive that is also SUPER continuous. That combination on this ball is ridiculous!

[@nickschneider150]

Thanks for review Nick. I enjoy your videos.

[@JayKerr89]

I have 3 300’s with my ocean vibe, this is definitely on my list!

[@donaldexley1852]

that move in was a huge difference (the stone 8 and shot after it) went from exit board of mid 20 to 15 then 12. Straighter with speed seems to be the best.

[@brunsnick]

Seems to favor my game the most usually.

[@tigertolliver5199]

Yeah man I got this ball man. It hooks power for the money. I can stand on the 30 with my left come across the middle down for our out to the 10:00 and it comes right back. Good video. I don't understand the 3.0 black widow. I got the 2.0 hybrid.

[@zachotek9499]

Pin Down the world!! Wow that is responsive!! Can’t wait to get one or two drilled up

[@bobgomavitz1330]

A few questions. Both Vibe vids were awesome! What format do you use for SPECTO to give you those numbers…I use performance and see dif numbers. Any thoughts on adding surface to this one down the line? Thanks Nick

[@brunsnick]

I’m not sure what format. Just whatever is already loaded into the program and then export the data with excel. Sanding this ball could be a very good heavy oil option in my opinion. Cover is strong!

[@larrylacroix3944]

Been wanting to see a video on this ball looks great. Also what three balls from hammer only with one being solid one being hybrid and one being pearl would you recommend for a low rev slow speed senior bowler for house shot only

[@brunsnick]

RAW Hammer Hybrid, Radioactive VIBE, Black Widow Ghost Pearl.

[@BowlingProducer]

Have you tried a combo of Solid: Envy Tour, hybrid: Black Widow 2.0 hybrid or dark web, pearl: ocean vibe

[@larrylacroix3944]

What about the black widow 2.0 pearl

[@BassRacerx]

you can really only compare hybrid/solid/pearl if the ball has the same coverstock base. A raw Pearl is going to hook later than a hybrid black widow for example.

[@BowlingProducer]

@@larrylacroix3944 it’s a great ball and fits well as a transition ball in a line up. Wouldn’t even be mad if it’s the first ball out the bag.

[@BassRacerx]

This ball performs insane for its' price. I wonder if Brunswick will bring HK22 to more low end balls like the Rhino or the twist?

[@brunsnick]

Good question. It’s possible but not probable.

[@ThatOSUfan]

Love the videos. Getting close to 5000 subs!

[@kitkelso4467]

Hk22 all the way

[@bowldrigreg349]

No way😮 nooo way Nick!! Ball is 🥜

[@BassRacerx]

Please don't sell out before christmas! I need this! just bought the stealth pearl need to wait before I can buy another ball!

[@randallspautz8650]

Can you make video for the Hybrid Bigfoot?

[@brunsnick]

Likely no for going back that far now.

[@jeroldserrell9746]

Nice video

[@thebigeasy8609]

Oh my!

[@jdnance168]

Sooo.... are there plans for ocean vs Marie Curie special? 😁

[@brunsnick]

I’ll let you know after I Google that lol

[@TheCj9996]

I’m a newer two hander. Would this be a good step up from the raw solid?

[@iceman5117]

Yes

[@brunsnick]

Should be much more angular compared to that one. Overall hook might not be drastically different, just the way it gets there at the end.

[@UGAgirl8448]

I have the 14# Black Widow Pink, 3D Offset 15#, 14# Scorpion Sting, and looking to maybe add this one. I am a low rev bowler. Typically throw about 12-14 ball speed so not too hard. Do you think with your knowledge that this ball would make sense in my arsenal or is it similar to any of mine already? I want one with the HK22 coverstock and my husband swears I'd love the 3d offset attack

[@UGAgirl8448]

I started back bowling after about a 20 year hiatus and currently healing from foot surgery so on another small break. Before this, I started bowling with 15# to force me to not sling the crap out of it like I was beginning to do with the lighter ones and I'm really happy with the added weight. Seems like I get crazy action when I just slow it down and let the ball do the work. I also don't throw a straight ball for spares. I love playing with angles!

[@brunsnick]

I’d leave it shiny and it should be different than what you have. Hopefully more length when they get a little dry.

[@Mainzer74]

How would you say this compares to Tundra Fire?

[@brunsnick]

Stronger. A bit earlier.

[@vance836]

Wonder how close this is to balls like the Crypto Boom. That might be some of the best bang for the buck since the Ebonite Cyclone.

[@rayjayks]

I loved the Cyclone!

[@killing530]

woulda ya say this is a good ball for beginners? looking to get my first ball and this seems to match my price point!

[@brunsnick]

Vibe is a great ball for beginners to start learning how to hook it! 👍🏻

[@irishchewiegaming]

Would you recommend this ball for a new hooking bowler?

[@brunsnick]

Absolutely. Vibes are a great first ball.

[@eclipzegs]

Great ball for the money!! 👍🏽

[@seanliff2505]

Where would you put the Vibe in your bag?

[@brunsnick]

I’d use this Vibe when my other benchmark solids are a bit too lazy on the back.

[@KC-zz1so]

Nice 1-2 combo with the Ocean for league..

[@iceman5117]

How do you think this compares with the tundra fire and captiv8?

[@brunsnick]

I think it’s stronger than both. Easily.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk bowling ball hammer radioactive vibe with carbon fiber technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time

[@nordattack]

Just a note: The Audio on your videos is always very quiet compared the the average video on youtube. Consider Normalizing to -1 during editing.

[@brunsnick]

-1 is beyond peaking.

[@nordattack]

@@brunsnick Make sure to set "Don't allow clipping" when you Normalize and you will be ok. Maybe just increase the initial record levels on your camera.

[@daryldettmer9160]

im guessing it gets dirty pretty easily ... is that a solid ball ?

[@brunsnick]

It’s solid. Mine didn’t get dirty but every center is different when it comes to that.

[@andy7268]

I think your review of this ball makes you a Vibe - Rater!!! LOL

[@brunsnick]

So many things I could say in response but I won’t. 🤣
