Thanks for sharing your tour journey with us, Packy! Some of these tournaments are definitely a grind. The recaps in between each game definitely bring more context to the content. Your statement "It's a tough pair, but I'm tougher" belongs on a shirt. Keep rollin'

[@khinnerichs]

1. Love the content/channel. 2. That particular music on a 7-8 second loop for 15 minutes makes want to blow my brains out.

[@dumattco]

Good job! You did some good bowling with your blue balls! 🤪

[@Falascoa]

The blue NU is not joke, Great ball.

[@ethancowen8490]

This is my local house, carry is always a struggle on the burn. Nice bowling Packy!

[@drjazzy]

I need that Pacman Packy jersey :O you need to add that to your merch shop!

[@deonkirk7357]

You can get it from coolwick, it's actually his girlfriend's jersey design

[@jaredswick2890]

The Blue hammer is the first ever hammer ball I have owned. Been bowling for 2 years and just shot my first ever 700 in league last night and bowled with the blue NU all three games. I am loving the new ball!.

[@wd6358]

Never seen you leave so many 7's. Thought that was me out there!

[@masonrobinson4337]

calling it here and now - 2024 PBA season will be the year of Packy👀

[@zjay4449]

if he carried even half these shots it would have been a crazy good block. still very impressive packy!

[@user-mn7ij2ut7k]

looks like nu blue carries better when rolled on straight line vs shape it with right to left, or left to right arcing, first tournament of 2024 , looking mighty fine Packy....

[@itsdaley]

Packy: next 2 games are going to be brutal Also packy: starts with the front 3 😅

[@clayton_schrimpf]

Watching ur videos on this channel too Packy 😎

[@ronheath5724]

Hey Pak one thing I learned many years ago is whenever I stopped carrying the corners then what I did was I moved my approach forward by 1/2 of my shoe and if that didn't work then I would move one half of my shoe backwards because the reason why I did this way to change the angle of the ball going in the pocket we know that leaving means 1/2 a board low or 1/2 a board high. You might just try this

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball bowling tournament how did you bowl all 6 games your series packy

[@seymourbutts5277]

NU Blue is great, but it isn't anything like the Purple. For me it's complimentary

[@MrSouthpoint69]

It's not supposed to be like the PURPLE , DUH

[@seymourbutts5277]

[@sammie92212]

Them strikes sounds like a shotgun going off lol

[@DigemDeep]

Nice bowling overall. I guess those splits in the last session did you in. Packy, I am an older bowler ( 75 yrs ) that uses a Pitch Black. I can only bowl around 13 mph but my rev rate is decent. What do you think about me and a NU ball? I carry a 185 but my strike rate is low. My spare making is pretty good.

[@markbenoit8358]

Awesome footage with the nu... but the music bro... please dont do that again 😂. Nothin but love bro

[@s5dness682]

I've been thinking about getting a NU, but I only really have a fate and a supernova, not sure where to go from there. Maybe it'd be a solid option in my arsenal, what do you think?

what do you think about bowling on twister pins? greetings from the netherlands

Good tourney bud. Got a no tap tourney today in town. Ima just try to hang 10s all day. Hit em high

[@bgoggin88]

How's that spider viz a ball working? The center by me has $1 games during happy hour but they don't oil the lanes. I can't keep my ball in the pocket, what to do?

[@anthonyhart7878]

Sup Packy

[@Onesongperweek]

You used a weaker and a stronger NU. What are the 2LS layout did you use for both? (Subscribed)

[@marshallboyce4050]

he has a video explaining the two layouts

[@PasSpareTime]

Man, death by pocket 9s and 8s it looked like to me.

[@nicklausebay6092]

Maybe try that big show early instead of thinking the blue would work the whole time

[@Falascoa]

Got my blue NU today. I'm a 150-160 average. First three games with the blue; 155, 202 & 212. My personal best.

[@jaredrogers7863]

if you are a thumbless bowler of any kind. urethane, and urethane like balls are the answer.

Being a fellow left hander like myself, do you move towards the miss. Cursed 7 pin !!

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

Golly. Left about as many as I typically do. And I'm a right hander

[@jaredrogers7863]

I think your adjustment was to get more depth with your feet, and get it out to the 7

[@jaredrogers7863]

Your spot for a while there was the 10, but I felt like when you eeked out to the 7 it went through better, and you just needed to get your feet slightly more left or deeper to line it up

[@Jason_P]

Do you know what ball Spencer was throwing?? As a fellow Lefty I am curious as to what he sued now that the urethane era is coming to a close.

[@chrispearce9224]

Those lanes looked like the purple hammer would've been perfect. But I'm NOT a pro bowler...just an observation.

[@jaybird8377]

Urethane is banned in the pba, that’s why the nu was made

[@roscoepretlowiv7959]

​@@jaybird8377Urethane isn't banned in the pba. Urethane has to be 78 hardness to be thrown in the PBA. The new IQ/U is urethane. It is just 78 hardness

[@jaybird8377]

@@roscoepretlowiv7959 Okay, all the POPULAR urethane balls were banned in the pba. Like purple hammer, which the nu was made to imitate

[@nordattack]

Question: If you had used your Purple, would you have done better?

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

Doubtful. They are pretty close to being the same ball

[@tomy5868]

where at in Kansas?

[@zacabbott363]

What type of shoes do you wear?

[@Jason_P]

I LOVE my NU Blue, but that cover definitely needs a bigger core. I would pair it with the Attitude core and call it the NU Attitude. That ball would just print money.

[@jaredrogers7863]

I do agree, it doesnt continue its motion like the purple does.

[@italianforu1]

I think if you could hit a 5 board area with a consistant speed and release using a freakin red U-dot you would be Belmonte from the left.

[@jaredrogers7863]

agreed, I think packy needs to straighten the angle out a little bit

[@jaredrogers7863]

if that means taking the nu blue up to 5500 p, or breaking out the pitch black or 78u, above 4k, whatever it is. I think it would carry better and be more consistent

[@christopherlacross9666]

You throwing 14lbs now....seeing some deflection

[@athlonen]

Here is what I am wondering. And yes while you have two different layouts.. would,you say that the NU Blue hammers are more side to side than the current/BoB purple hammers, which those are more front to back in motion? If so, I’m thinking that the NU Blue Hammers are more like the 2016-2017 banned Hopkinsville Purple Hammers, as those are more side to side than the Reynosa/BoB Purple Hammers. Thoughts?

[@r4ng3k03r1]

I feel like the Purple Hammer reactive is a great ball in comparison to a Purple Hammer urethane as they have the same core and I feel it performs better than the urethane since it didn't drag oil down lane. Don't understand why Packy never uses his purple hammer reactive only saw him use it once

[@athlonen]

@@r4ng3k03r1Because the Purple Reactive soaks up the oil, it would react faster off the spot than urethane does. That's the same comparison made 30 years ago with the Blue and Burgundy Hammers compared to the Ebonite Turbo/X and NuLine XCalibur. That actually is not the comparison to go for, despite the fact of having the same core.

[@r4ng3k03r1]

@@athlonen idk man I actually prefer the solid reactive compared to the Purple Hammer urethane but I think PBA is not trying to use urethane anymore so Hammer made the NU Blue hammer that's supposed to replicate the urethane ball but it's not. But I've had great success with my Purple Hammer reactive especially in heavy oil

[@athlonen]

@@r4ng3k03r1 the PBA will still allow urethane, but the hardness was increased to 78D, as other companies are putting out urethane to that hardness level. But one thing everyone has to remember is that the PBA is a pebble in the ocean of the bowling world. The WTBA, KPBA, JPBA, the EPL, PABCON, and others still have the Purple Urethane hammer as legal. Comparing those organizations and the legal balls there versus what the PBA DOESN’T offer (read: all overseas releases), the PBA is small fish in an ocean of Megs.

[@Kaazkhan1]

@@r4ng3k03r1purple reactive isn’t very close to urethane at all. Not saying it needs to be, but when you need a urethane roll it’s just not the ball to use.

[@PowRKord]

Packy, See below: / / / I'm fairly certain I "know what's wrong" or "what isn't right enough" with the stronger blue ball but don't know how to express it given modern day inner workings of balls. (And 15 lb vs 16 lb plays a part too, but not that much.) In the early '80s you'd punch another ball with more 'negative side weight', close to the PBA allowable limit. I have no idea how that equates with today's weight-block placements & etc. Watching that blue ball go down the lanes this block was nerve-wracking, making me itch and giving me hives at the same time. I can only imagine what it was doing to you. Something wasn't right. It wasn't until you slowed the ball down in game 6 ( + -) and it held a nice arc that I finally put it all together; the pocket 7 & 9s, the 8 pin on jammed shots, not making it back when pulled into the oil, the funky little hook motion often when in the slot and especially the weird pinfall/action on strikes the further into the block things got (I could hear you talking to yourself on the pulled shots that wouldn't make it back...) I understand it isn't purple, but it is what you have to work with going forward. (To me, from back in my time, this is the same as when they outlawed soakers. Forty years later and it's still about ball hardness.) Point being: I don't think it will take much of a change to get blue really working for you. Look at it like a tire that isn't balanced quite properly. It doesn't take much of a change to get it rolling right. PS: If you don't care for nor want my insights, please just say something. I don't want to waste your time, or mine, ok? No animosity. This is just southpaw-to-southpaw, olde skool-talking-to-new school is all it is.

[@MultitaskingGuy]

2:59 how is one stronger than the other I don’t understand they’re the same ball

[@dreamfour472]

Whose idea was it to glue the 7 pin to the lanes?

[@neilolson7851]

Dude how did that 7 pin stay up WTF

[@lansingsportall5314]

That ball looks poop. Great video

[@roscoepretlowiv7959]

The PBA National Tour is going to look a lot different this year.

[@arethereanyuniquehandles]

I watched games 3 and 4, and didn't like the execution. Didn't control the breakpoint very well, and even though several shots looked good, the angle wasn't and hence the single pin leaves. Looking much better so far games 5 and 6.

[@richardsherrer423]

Should of went purple 💜 it's your money ball but great bowling carrying was not in your favor

[@32BigE32]

7 pins were ugly, 8 pins were a punch in the gut. But I really hope you are aware of you strike percentage when falling off as opposed to solid balance at the foul line. Not a tough fix.

[@jaredrogers7863]

I dont see much variation in Packys form, the one thing I see once in a while though is a different release angle, sometimes hes to the left of his head, other times he will cross his face slightly. and his best shots are always the tip of the forehead ones.

[@jaredrogers7863]

Ive got a lefty 2 hander on my team, whos within his first 2 years of bowling, natural however, 185 avg already, and a 300 game in league. His biggest variance is the finishing arm angle as well. Obviously much more variance than Packy.

[@generiley355]

To me it looks like you needed one drilled even weaker with the the same surface as the weaker of the two.....

[@StakMusikLI]

Love ya Pack but every time you post a shot it’s a clean crisp crunch wrap 7! Start falling off of them my boy! 🤣😅 WAY TO GRIND OUT THERE! 🫱🏾‍🫲🏻
