Hammer Arctic Vibe Preview | Strongest Vibe Ever?
My 3 ball Hammer set is old school Big Blue, Acid Raw, and BW Pearl. I will sometimes swap the BW Pearl to my plastic Hammer Vis-A-ball.
I would love help. I have Zen Soul Honey badger Intensity Rst-x2 Iq tour edition Outer limits hybrid Parallax effect Id like to do a 3 ball and then switch them out here and there with but im atill trying to learn the numbers and shape
Definitely! You have 3 main groups that the balls fit into: Smooth/dull - Zen Soul, Honey Badger, and IQ Sharp/shiny - Outsr Limits, Parallax Effect, RSTX2 I’d recommend 1 ball from each category and then a wildcard (maybe a personal fav or switch it up once in a while)
How does it compare to the black hammer 78
The Black Hammer is about the same length, but much more dynamic downlane
I have 3 Symmetrical balls and 3 Asymmetrical balls .. each set of 3 are solid, hybrid, pearl (ie: strong, mid, weak) .. seems to work out well for me.
Thats what i would like to do and then switch out sometimes
@@StephRenee812 - it is working pretty well for me. If an Asym isn't working quite right, just a little off, I switch to a similar Sym and it usually fixes the problem, especially if I get pushed way left (which happens a lot at our center), then my Zen Sym's usually work better than my Asym's.
Just got back into bowling this year and the first ball I bought was a 14 lb Hustle USA. I've since bought a couple stronger, more expensive balls but find the Hustle to still be my favorite. It's just so smooth and controllable and a great "bang for the buck" ball.
+1 for the Hustle USA, cheap to pick up right now too.
Also, don't be afraid of the 13lb and under balls with the "generic" shape cores you find in the Brunswick brands. They are plenty strong still and hook just fine. This was something I worried about on my first ball purchase and shouldn't have. 13lb radioactive Vibe is still the most continuous ball ive had, so far. Enjoying the channel, tons of useful info for people learning the game like me.
Curious as to where you would put the Motiv Raptor, being that it falls in the strong and smooth side of the Motiv ball chart?
I’d agree that it’s in the strong/smooth slot
So where would you rank it?
Where would you put the night road?
The Night Road can fit somewhere around medium/sharp and weak/sharp - in between the two slots
Based on this I’m thinking of going bw 2.0 hybrid, venom shock, sneak attack hybrid
I want my old purple AMF Angle back.🤣
Away from the game for 30 years. Researched on the web for a good ball. I bought the 3.0 and am very pleased. (I still suck... but working on it) lol
Love this list. Is the Absolute Power in this category? If so, do you have an opinion on it?
The Absolute is somewhere between strong/smooth and medium/smooth. Depends on the person and the drilling
@@ZVLBowling thanks so much for the reply.
What about the X-Cell?
X-Cell would fit in the strong/smooth and be in the middle of the list - I made this before the release date of it
I love the 3.9 Black widow ball this one made it to the top its my go too Ball
I have the 3.0 and the harsh reality. Awesome placement on this one.
Curious where you put the Motiv Jackal Ghost and Ambush. I think both of them out hook the Evoke. Are they too angular to make the smooth slot?
The Ambush is also in the strong/smooth slot, the Ghost is a bit weird. I think it fits between strong/smooth and strong/sharp
Love these types of videos. Keep it up. 😊
Perfect! Can't wait for the rest🔥
What about the ultimate defender , super smoothe !
Absolutely a strong/smooth ball
Do the widow 3.0 or Radical Conspiracy play well on sport/tournament patterns too? I would assume these do well on longer heavy volume patterns? After my first league this summer I am itching to try a tournament out.
Absolutely, both are great for heavier volume conditions. Both are smooth, which is what you want for early in a tournament!
@@ZVLBowling thanks for the confirmation! The arsenal videos have helped me sort out my gear a ton. This is the current open slot I’m looking to fill in the 6 ball arsenal.
I have used the BW 3.0 pretty much exclusively on 39’ Chameleon the last 3 weeks with good results.
I haven't thrown a 3.0 yet, but I have a 2.0 solid drilled pin down and it is incredible on tougher patterns. It reads somewhat early but is very continuous. From what I have heard and seen the 3.0 is smoother, which can be good or bad depending on conditions.
Mr. Bouncy Balls.
Would the Track Tundra Fire Blue work for weak sharp?
I love the way you throw!
I have 4 balls right now X-Cell , Attention Star, Tour Dynamics, Nu Blue (Polished) need 1 more just dont know what
For my 3/4 ball arsenal what woud you use blk windows 3.0 denfender exotic gem knock out sneak attack IQ tour ruby tropical surg
Great video. Thank for making it. My 3 ball arsenal is Hyroad Pearl, Phase 2, and IQ Ruby. I think that fits your model. Keep up the great work with these videos!
HRP and IQ Ruby both pretty much in the weak/sharp category. You could replace one of them in the future with a strong/sharp asym pearl.
Another great arsenal video! I keep thinking that it would be interesting to see you build a low budget vs a high budget arsenal. As far as my 3 ball arsenal, it's currently the 3 I use most: Perfect Mindset, Theorem, and Infinity. I'm wanting to get something for the drier conditions. I was thinking about maybe the new Track Tundra Fire Blue? Or do you feel that there is something better?
Mine is the phase 2 (2016)
I don't normally use smooth/control balls in a house shot league since its already pretty soft so i prioritize carry. So the bag is Black Widow 2.0 hybrid, Crypto Boom, Hyroad pearl.
Mine is more like medium-strong smooth, medium sharp, and weak smooth Phaze ii, Hammer Effect, Sneak Attack solid
I am a lefty, so the back ends stay sharper longer for me. I will usually stay in the solids longer and lean towards the slightly cleaner covered hybrids rather than the pearls to tame down the back end reaction. When would you lean more towards asyms over symmetric pieces? These days the asym pieces aren't just limited to the bigger, stronger cores. I'm a MOTIV user and currently they have at least one asym piece in just about every tier of their ball chart.
You should do a 9 ball arsenal, I’m probably going to end up with 9. Envy Tour, Obsession Tour, Teal rhino, IQ tour, VEBO, NightRoad, HyRoad, IQ Ruby and Tundra Fire Red will be mine. I cover everything as a 2 handed lefty imo from strong, early, smooth, length and angular
Out of all the different bowling ball manufacturers which one bowling ball would you consider to be the absolute best for the weak /smooth position
My personal favorite currently is either the IQ Tour or the Track Cypher
@@ZVLBowling ok I was thinking the IQ and the cypher would slot in the medium/smooth position not weak /smooth?
If you’re more rev dominant, then yes. If you’re balanced/speed dominant, they’d fit in the weak/smooth slot. Another option is the Hustle X-Ray
@@ZVLBowling yes,ok, great I have the hustle line of balls as my weak/ smooth and weak sharp position. Also am wondering how the hustle line of balls match up to the new motiv max thrills, do you know can motiv compete with the hustle's?
Love the heat series.. still have the pearl and 2018 solid nib waiting tone drilled
My fav ball is 35 years old
Talking old I use a amf amflite magic line hard rubber 3 dot ball I bowled 289 with it ALMOST A PERFECT GAME WITH A RUBBER BALL 😂😂😂😂😂
I still use my dad’s bowling ball sometimes. It’s a 16 lb gladiator pearl from around 08 or so. I love it. Still hooks like a pearl should. Old bowling balls absolutely get strikes
I have the magic gem venom shock and hyper venom was looking for another asym ball to help fill the gap and compliment the arsenal any suggestions??
If you want to stay in the motiv family check out their ball chart. Very informative to assist in your decision. The Ion is supposed to be really good also
Why in the world does your Armswing go out to the right in your backswing? It looks incredibly odd?
Easier for some reason to keep it inline at release it’s kinda like a mini figure 8
@@Storm_3080 Ah good job look at EJ Tackett that's cool gives you more power
I really like your arsenal videos. I'm trying to setup my first arsenal, I have a black widow 2.0 hybrid, 3-d offset attack, arctic vibe, raw hammer red/smoke, venom shock, nuclear forge, pride dynasty, and a max thrill pearl. how would you place these on the chart? and would you remove or add anything else. Thanks
Can you maybe put together a broader arsenal video for 2 handers for example because as a two hander I absolutely need a plastic ball 😅
Generally I’d say the six ball Arsenal IS indeed useful for most players even 2 handers like me and you, just add the plastic ball as a spare ball along the Arsenal and your fine !
Bro I don’t know why everyone says is not that strong I have both balls the reality and the harsh reality, and the x cell is way more hook
Stronger doesn’t mean more hook on backend. It’s starts up earlier and can hook through oil. Slightly weaker balls are cleaner and stores more energy down lane.
ZVL - thanks for the ballsplanations. Definitely something folks can refer to when looking for a well rounded arsenal for league and tournaments. Personally, I would only bring a variation of 3 to league.
Will the tropical surge fit the weak category?
Would a storm eternity fit into the medium/sharp category? I recently got a virtual energy blackout and the eternity was my other option
I assume you’re talking about 900 Global Eternity. I would say there is a lot of overlap as it goes relatively long as well similar to the Storm Virtual Energy.
@@NickStAndre yeah sorry I get that mixed up haha
I always enjoy these arsenal videos. Thanks for keeping them coming!
@zvlbowling where would put ball like iq tour solid or teal rhino pro or low diff Asyms like envy tour ion pro
The IQ and Rhino will be weak/smooth / the Ion and Envy will be medium/smooth
@@ZVLBowling but would you say those balls can also be good on the fresh ?
What made you go with the Reality over the Harsh Reality in this segment?
Only because I owned a Reality and not a Harsh - if I had a Harsh, it would replace the OG
Nice job!
Awesome job on that strike! I'm using the Dull !Q Tour on the lanes and it's super fun. Glad to see another member of the !Q Family!
