The discussion alone made it worth the watch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Packy!

FIRST OF ALL THE TOMMY JONES HANRAHAN MATCH FOR SHAVED HEAD OR SHAVED EYE BROWS MUST HAPPEN!!!!

Polish the pin up and dull the pin down. To check out the look it gives you.

This is the type of video I have been begging for on so many other channels. A clear explanation of a balls reaction on a house shot. So many videos out there are not very relevant to the average bowler. No offense but most of us are not needing to know what a pro bowler sees from a ball on a sport pattern cranking it. In my perfect world there would be reviews with a stroker, a tweener and a cranker throwing on a typical fresh house shot followed by a lane transitioning and lastly a burnt up lane.

Loved the overlay , showing the differences on the balls reactions with the board difference too

Good stuff Packy more NU Blue please!!!

Thanks Packy, this one was actually really informative. I am getting the ball this sunday.

Good job on explaining this ball! I like these kind of videos, by comparing two different layouts to help bowlers how to get the right drill for them is very useful information. Thanks!

Thanks for all the great videos that was AWSOME

I love to watch those string pins dance!! Waiting for the new string balls when they get rid of ball returns.

Thanks packy always love your videos

Your video got me through rehabbing a broken leg i csnt wait to bowl again

great vid so far i love how ur so energetic and encouraging thx for making are day❤

Great video. I would love to see a comparison between the NUBlue and the Motiv Blue Tank.

another great vid, ty packy

Would you do a tech video on no thumb/two-handed layouts?

I am a left handed conventional bowler, looking forward to seeing your league play. I really like this nu blue hammer. Sure would like to get one. Liking what I’m seeing from your reviews. Pin up will win I think.

One of my first series with the NU i rolled a 278 with the box surface... after that though I struggled with it, played around with all sorts of surfaces and couldn't find what I was looking for until I hit it with the polish.

I was just thinking earlier that you should make a more in depth video about the NU Blue Hammer replacing the Purple Hammer on tour. Great minds think alike.

How about a comparison video between purple reactive and the nu?

Definitely thinking heavy about this ball. This will definitely help when I bowl league when everyone is thinking Urethane is key.

I’m curious about the carry down with the NU Blue. I’d love to hear your thoughts about that!

I have been seriously considering polishing mine as well. Its just really strong for what I want it to be. Not that I havent been bowling big scores with it because I have, I just have other balls in the same strength category that I would rather throw if I need to move that far in.

Liked the comparison of the shiny vs dull balls. I have been having better success by adding surface to my bowling balls, especially the Outer Limits. As always, very informative and...oh, like the haircut. Makes you look like more of a company (Brunswick) man and I bet Madison likes it too!

I drilled my nu pretty close to the same as my purple, except cg on pap, and the nu flares about 3" total with line separation and hooks like crazy earlier than my purple, which i keep at 360/800 and the nu was out of box. I was at a tournament so didn't try too many things to get a bead on it. But tonight im throwing it on wood and i anticipate some wild ball motion. The nu is nothing like anything else in my bag, and i have 7 different urethanes and many more reactives. I even took my hand out of it and released off the top of the ball and it still continued through the pins. The nu blue is a pretty little monster. Honestly they should release it in pink as well.

Shout out to Mitch & family @ Eastgate! Great folks!

Yeah for house shot sure. I’m still looking forward to seeing both layout on sport shot that purple hammer really dominates. What layout to put on is the key for most players. Great video as usual.

Love your videos and your knowledge. In your opinion, what ball would be the closest ball to the DV8 Poison to use? I'm looking to get a new ball and I liked the feel of the Poison but, it's retired and need a new option. Please help me

It's gonna be weird not seeing urethane on tour next year(but I still get to watch other bowlers use urethane on non PBA tournaments٫ especially Packy٫ but I can't wait to see what bowling ball companies will do to make new urethane like bowling balls)

Nice!

I've always bowled right handed with two fingers and a thumb. Over the summer due to an injury I switched to left handed with 2 fingers like you throw. So I really enjoy your channel. I initially got a Phaze 2, which got too strong so I've been throwing a Hustle M-M I hit with a 4000 pad. I have slow ball speed with pretty high Rev rate, I'm better at trying to finesse the ball.... but lately the Hustle has been hooking too much. Do you think this Nu Blue Hammer would be better for the way I like to throw?

Another great video Packy... you DEFINITELY bowl better without the flippers. LOL. If I were to drill a Blue Hammer for myself, it would definitely be pin up. I use release position along with speed and surface adjustments to get the shape i need.

Do you have a go-to layout for your purples/urethane-ish balls?

Good stuff, Patrick, I have my note pad out😶

you should do a video comparing the new nu blue hammer to the old blue hammer throwback ball

I'd be interested in seeing some videos with the NU Blue where you had multiple VAL angles but kept the Pin to PAP constant. Like VALs of 10*, 25*, 40*, 55*, etc

Can't wait to drill mine up. It figures I am out of town and it showed up today. Need to drill it Saturday morning for the tournament I am bowling that day. 😂

What kind of sports shimmy ate you using. I really like them.

Would you recommend the pin down version on house shots?

Its possible to start the oilmachine from pins? Would be funny too see a match with reverse pattern 😅

did u all the time do forward roll? or sometimes u do side roll rotation on the ball?

the pin down version hooks overall less? would that be less than the purple hammer or around the same?

This ball is actually mad i will deffinitly be picking one of these up for my bag. May eveb become my main

That can opener was the epitome of the typical house shot stike😬😬😬

How does the ball act on dry/burnt lanes?

The nu blue hammer is a cool looking ball for sure, but I play in a house with 30 yr. old spl and the oil pattern for the house shot is medium to medium dry, so lots of early friction to deal with and to top it off I have low ball speed (14.30 at the sensor down lane) My revs are 290 to 300 and this type of condition really forces me left. would this be the type of ball to use on this type of house shot with the stats that I have? I'm really looking for equipment that will help me play more up the boards with control and good carry. I'm currently using weaker balls and I feel that sometimes with weaker equipment that the carry isn't that great. how would you advise a guy like me on this kind of condition? do I just stick with the weak stuff and clean up the spares like I have been doing? or would this new type of ball be a better look better carry and or just better over all?

Your explanation and the way you expressed it really helped me perfectly understand. I just brought Purple Hammer 2 months ago so maynbe this my new ball LOL I also left Two handed. Btw Hi from thailand

I didn't notice until about 5 min in you are wearing yourself on your shirt, and I love it lololololololololol

what ball would you recommend for a tweener bowler? im averaging around 160-170 in a league with an old ball i got off facebook for $20 but it doesn’t really move a lot

Is the polished ball rolling over the finger holes?

Packet, what is your opinion on the Blue Hammer Vs DV8 Alley Cat? I’m a no thumb bowler. I used an alley cat for the last 4 yrs. Ball cracked. I knew exactly what the alley cat was going to do regardless of where I threw it. I’ve been trying to find something comparable to the alley cat. I know cover stock makes a difference.

I like to play straight but most places I bowl at fly what would you recommend

I've never thrown Urethane but this ball looks interesting.

Cool tech bowling ball blue hammer not urethane bowling ball with carbon fiber technology in the bowling ball more strike and spares hitting power at time packy

We need to see this ball on like PBA challenge patterns like cheetah Don Carter scorpion viper ect.

Even though it’s a non-urethane, it’s still hooks Nice and still gives off good strikes shots. blue is my favourite colour baby.

I want free merchandise..... I watch every video I support the blue hammer.....

Packy is still the "hammer" 🔨 no matter what color his ball is! Good luck this season .

Call that Strike, Moses. It parts the pins down the middle

What pound ball do you use?

I’m with the pin down polish to keep the lane break down a little longer so maybe you can play with in a few broads and not have the fronts break down so fast

I’m thinking pin up. Thanks for all your input.

Can you please give me a reccomendation for a 12 pound hook ball please!

Core in the Nu Blue is not very dynamic, so pin placement is not going to play as much of a factor. That polish is what is really making the difference.

You got to use one of Lance's lines for some of your strikes....Sloppier the Better! :D

Compare it to the purple hammer reactive, always wondered why I never saw you use it but one time how come you don't throw th reactive purple much?

Question: Will Hammer continue to manufacture the purple hammers for non PBA tournaments?

Hey packy how often would you recommend hitting a ball with surface pads ?

I like my purple hammer. I like the way it makes it down the lane and I dont have to make to many adjustments.Beibg a women and not being able to throw hard it dies the work for me. I can use it even after the oil changes abitcafter two keague ganes . However my team mate says my urethane ball is making a mess on the lanes. I tried the Twist but it doesn't have the same hitting power. I went back to my purple hammer. But my dilemma is " do i do whats best for the team" ?

What I think is interesting is your pin down is above your fingers. As a two hander is that how you are supposed to layout a pin down

NU Blue is on my radar. I threw the Blue hammer back in the day. Your Pin down patter looks more like I tossed it. Im right handed. I would line up center to 1st spot left, Let it down around the 1st arrow rigth and it would go out to 5-7 board on a common night. I would adjust as the lanes chaged. So more than likely Pin down. I just dont knwo what all the other numbers mean.

Cant wait to see what signed item you send me!! Im joking, but this is another great video. Pin up looking good.

I truly do not understand why more bowlers dont play that down the left side and and in (or for righties down the right side and in) shot. The pocket explodes every time. It seems like the more hook the more potential problems.

Hi pacman

I’m thinking pin up for me. Thanks for all your insight!

I got mine drilled benchmark and out of the box I shot a 235 237 before it started to die out on the third game

Also, someone might want to tell Packy that the NU balls he is throwing are Not Urethane. 🤣

Been contemplating putting 500 or 800 on mine

100% pin up

With A Tournament Win🏆 then I’ll be a little interested I’m watching it on several channels and thing hits like a wet noodle

I’m gonna go 60x4.5x20 for house

I would like to see a release of not　urethane's blackwidow.

Gotta do the Tommy challenge don't lose!

Need to use engraver to serialize them so you can set up to track them in your phone......as I bet you will have dozens of them

What the layout

Will the Purple Hammer, Pitch Black and other Urethane like balls be banned from the USBC Masters and U.S. Open? Or will they be allowed since they are USBC tournaments open to Amateurs just apart of the PBA Schedule.

How nice is it to wear a PBA champion shirt and when you look at it, it’s yourself!!

You clean up so purdy

Can you use two Rhinos in your video

First!!🎉🏆

Pin up for 1 game but I think the pin down would win for 3 games

Should've polished pin up and put surface on pin down tbh

That polished NU moves exactly like my spare ball does. I don't think you used a "proper" surface for either ball personally. I wouldn't have gone so extreme on them like that.

My purple hooks too much on house shots. Would drill the NU just a bit weaker.

I didn't have enough revs for a purple Hammer. I would assume that with this blue one, it would be more of the same.

Dull… pin up.

Am I first?

Pin up
