When it comes to professional bowlers out on tour, they will look for any type of advantage in order to win. When it comes to the Black Urethane Hammer (and the Purple Hammer before it got banned on the PBA Tour 🙄 ) it is a 2 piece thick-shell bowling ball and has very unique core numbers. The pros found out that a certain weight offers significant performance differences and that's what I'm discussing in this video.
🚨🚨🚨BRAND NEW BRUNSNICK MERCH!🚨🚨🚨
I have collaborated with Inside Bowling to design some t-shirts and here they are! Sport some OG BrunsNick gear, check out the link!

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:
Launch Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
Entry Speed - Speed measured at the pins. (What you'd see on your home center MPH screens)
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.

That's a good point that I never thought about when it came to urethane.. Back in my teens I did have (and still have) my Fab Hammers.. My Blue is a "light" 16lb.. box weight was 15lb 15oz, while my Blue Pearl was 16lb 5oz. I never thought about it in terms of weight versus carry, but looking back at the last time I threw my Fab Blue (about 10 years ago), it still hit hard. I wonder if it would be worth trying to find a heavier 15lb Black Pearl Urethane..
@GracieGarage

So, I have the purple, 16 lbs and love it. A few weeks ago I decided to go with a big solid asymmetric, atlas. Folks say they can be similar. Big solid asylums and urethane. From my experiences, no way Jose. You still have to ply the asylum much further down the lane compared to the urethane. I would love to see you shot a video comparing a high sow solid asylum and urethane to see if you experience the same thing. I think I will get the black hammer and experiment with surfaces. My purple I will not touch.

To this day I still use the old Fab Black and Pink Hammers. To give them flare so they are no longer were effected by carry down I put a Mo Hole balance hole in them to create about a two inch flare. I could stay in the same spot all night during leagues. Now with the no balance hole rule I plugged the holes up but they still have flare and do not create carry down problems. I keep them semi polished and they read a house shot very well.

What I would like to see from the Brunswick side, seeing that you incorporate Columbia as well, is the original black u-dot. Shot my all time high series with it, 300-267-300/867 back in the short oil days (1987). I hear that the retired AMF lines have been incorporated into Brunswick. Meaning the Cobra could be brought back (call it the nu cobra)AND THE ball old AMF that was fantastic was the Purple Angle. Being a PBA50 member, I would like to see urethane sold as maybe nostalgia for the younger kids, but us children of the 1960's. Would love to see some more of the classics return. Just an idea.

hmm, curious that they use a durometer instead of a rockwell hardness tester. The durometer testers like you said can read different based off surface finish and the oil contamination. I know rockwell hardness testers are typically for harder materials but the scale goes down below a 70a durometer where these urethane balls are at. Seems to be a more reliable method. rockwell testers will leave a dimple in the surface that I would see as insignificant to a bowling ball. My experience with these testers is from race car cylinder heads. Lucky to have met an old boy machinist who has taught me a whole lot about materials, surface finish, friction etc. Those general things seem to have a large influence in bowling. Loving all the content I've been running through it as I come across questions for myself haha.

I swap from 15-16 during leagues. Why because I don’t have 1000$ to spend on balls I find I pull the 15 from a 16 so I just look a board or two right until I’m square shooting my mark. No big deal. I get more revs with the lighter ball but seems the heavy balls grip more and are slower so they equal out in hook power. But I definitely believe in heavy ball power they just get odd hits better those odd trips . More messengers a few inch further

Nick my question is what ball would you recommend for an older bowler who has a moderate rev rate and is 13 at best speed usually a little under 13. For a bench mark house shot league player. ❤❤❤. Throwing 14 lbs

13 on the scoring monitors? If so, plenty of speed, would probably recommend Effect for asymmetrical and Endeavor/Trouble Maker Pearl for symmetrical options.
@surfboardshack3327
@surfboardshack3327 3 месяца назад
Regarding the midlane asym layout the radical site, does that pin down layout actually make the ball rev up earlier? My bowling friends said the pin down layout would make the ball go longer bc the RG goes up 🤷🏻‍♂️
@brunsnick
@brunsnick 3 месяца назад
After drilling differential numbers more important than RGs are. Pin down generally will lower flare and make the hook window longer and slower often giving it more continuation through the pins.

You have said before, you don't clean or resurface your urethane balls, but that 15 lb Black Pearl was deflecting like crazy off the pocket. Even after you hit it with 800 it was still deflecting and laboring to get into a roll. There was just too much oil today on the lane today. As a long time urethane user I can tell you, for house shots, urethane balls need some defined dry to work. Normally in league, if everyone is throwing resin but me, then I will have a great look with urethane because the resin balls are taking oil off the lane, preventing carrydown, or my urethane ball from getting too oil soaked and lubricated. But if multiple people are throwing urethane, a house shot can become a mess very quickly with our urethane balls going longer and longer up the lane before they react. Once that happens even resin balls won't hook. In my experience urethane works best on low to medium volume house shots, but longer, heavier house shots work against urethane unless you can get help from resin players.
