Thank you! Yes, the number should be identical since the cores are the same....just the coverstocks are different! It's fascinating how much of a difference it makes.

@@bowlwithVALue As a first year bowler I have actually focused on making sure all my balls have a very similar RG/DIF so the adjustments I make only need to take cover stock into account which keeps my moves very simple. Solid/Hybrid/Pearl. This allows me to play every zone.

that's a really good strategy!

We might be able to make that happen. A fun collaboration with another professional female bowler will be coming before that 🙂😉

Great idea. Brunsnick and Dasha do a lot of really fun collabs so adding another staffer would be really fun.

@@ObjectiveEthics yes, love Dasha too! if you follow me on IG @Valerie.bercier.bowling, I just teased a video we will be putting out next ;)

agreed!

It wouldn’t really be a replacement for the 2.0, more so a compliment to it. It’s more versatile, IMO!

I loved the 2.0 hybrid! For me, I would say it was in between the 2.0 and 3.0; went a little longer than both of them and as quick response, if not quicker, than the 3.0. so, it was better when the lanes started to dry out a bit. Do you have either the solid 2.0 or 3.0? will you be able to compare yourself?? 😃

@@bowlwithVALue - I do not have the 2.0 or 3.0 . Currently bowl only once a week in a league. My benchmark has been the Hammer Statement hybrid, which has been good but have had nights where I couldn’t get it around the corner. Obviously the Indian & not the arrow lol. Thank you for the response & info !

Ok that makes sense. In theory the new 2.0 hybrid should be a great option for getting the ball around the corner when the Statement is failing you!

Looks like according to the hammer website, 12lbs!

Since the legend was before Brunswick acquired EBI, I honestly don't know what the actual difference would be....Theoretically, it has the same core, just a different coverstock (2.0 is solid and legend is hybrid), I would assume the legend would skid through oil just a little more. might be quicker response than the 2.0, especially since that ball is characteristically slow response for me!

Thanks for the question/comment! I believe those are all different brands, and we're sticking with bowling balls within the same brands for right now, but we will likely do cross-brand in the future!

Nice! What do you need to work on??

@@bowlwithVALue to keep straight arm.

@@dalewilliams6440ah yes, that can be difficult!

Try rolling it… Instead of throwing it…

I did not. Someone else asked the same thing! Might be the lighting...both of the balls were box finish.

Definitely the same colors! I'm not sure if the actual material of the coverstock is the same though since they're always changing/upgrading them.

I would say it's the lighting. it doesn't look shiny in person
