Ron I love your "Back in the day" Ebonite/Hammer history lessons. So educational and interesting. Now I have the BW 2.0, NU Blue and Envy Tour Pearl a hybrid is next on my arsenal list. Since I only bowl on house shots this Arctic Vibe looks amazing. Thanks to your review this lefty may just have filled that slot. Good stuff Ron!
I just bought this ball and ive never been more excited. It's a color scheme that is my favorite, I need a lighter reaction but still a little grip, and I can see the revs and how it's moving and learn my own throw better. Ive never been so happy to get something omg
The Vibe Series just keeps getting better and better. I love that Radioactive Vibe I have and I might as well get me one of these whenever even though I have over 50 bowling balls 😂🤷🏾♂️
Jeez how do you store the ones you aren't using? I have a few i'm not using and one cracked on me. I think it was because it was sitting on carpet. lol
@@Gigglefucks I have a storage room in my house and I rotate the balls on different occasions every single week and use different ones vs just having some sitting around the house
I loved my Hammer Vicious when I had it and I do miss that ball every time I bowl, sure there are better bowling balls out there that run circles around it but the OG purple Vicious was special to me. Appreciated the callback to that ball. I moved away from Hammer and went back to SPI since their bowling balls are made in the US, but I will always remember the Vicious..
awesome ball, just missed my ffirst season in 25 yrs getting hip replacement done so l can bowl again My first vibe was the Midnite Vibe and l loved it. last season l bought the ocean vibe when it came out. and took it to a 3000 grit and what a difference , l can control it. being a older lefty my ball speed is only 14.5 the ocean vibe was to jumpy until l took the shine off it and down to a 3000. cant wait to add this one to the aresenal
Nice one Ron. The Arctic Vibe looks like another good one and at a very reasonable price point. Definitely a lot of ball for the money. Looks great for house shots... it also has a fair amount of shelf appeal. 😎
No vibe ball however I did have a Viral Solid, which used the vibe core. Loved that ball, pretty early down lane but smooth and continous. This arctic vibe looks amazing for the pricepoint.
My very first bowling ball was a columbia 300. My next bowling ball was the Brunswick Power Groove. My third and my very first Hammer bowling ball was the blue vibe. Fell in love with Hammer ever since.
Love the looks of that Arctic vibe and never bowled a vibe before, but I wouldn’t mind adding that to my collection and bonus, a brother Man, who is also a lefty
Did way too much research on a new ball for my 13yo, settled on the Vibe when the Pro Shop did not even have one in stock. Had them order one for her, drilled it and she's immediately up 15-18 pins over her Hustle. Much smoother and retains the back end for her lower rev rate. Since then I swear I've seen 10 of these on the lanes. Going to be the "new ball" for winter league play as the performance / price point is near perfect on it.
Never rolled a Vibe before but have heard good things. This Vibe looks awesome with shelf appeal/color combo and performance. (Kinda reminds me of the Turmoil line from DV8 that I used to roll and love, especially the hybrid. I could be wrong though it's been a long time.) Think I might need to pick one up and try a vibe.
I’ve only had 2 Vibes. I had the Emerald Vibe way back in the day and now I have the Radioactive Vibe. This ball is so good and doesn’t get a lot of recognition. I even brought it to the EC
I'm a huge vibe fan, have owned most of them over the years. My question is, which would you say this edition most closely resembles in shape? My all time favorite is the orange, but I also loved the cherry. Least favorite was the onyx, it just read way to fast and didn't flare well for me. I'm liking the toxic, but it was a bit twitchy out of the box. Now that it's got some lane shine it has become smoother, but definitely bites when it sees the dry.
i have a weird question / i bowl right handed but i eat with left hand / i brush teeth with left hand / i do most things with left hand but bowling i always used my right i think bc i was young n just did what ppl around me did * being they was right handed* so im asking is that common or ok ? bc part of me feels like i should re learn left hand ?
Never thrown a vibe but might have to pick this one up. I threw Black Widow and Black Widow viper back in the day. Currently throwing Brunswick balls- True Nirvana, Magnitude 035, and last year I picked up the Defender Hybrid which was my first HK22 ball.

Buying one to replace my hyroad. Will be my first ball outside of storm.
I just recently purchased an Artic Vibe. For some reason, I cannot generate the hook from my release, and it's always been this way. This Vibe does indeed hook for just a normal release, but I need to learn how to flip the ball more out of my release. Frustrating.
This Vibe Arctic, is it more angular than the Ocean Vibe? I'm looking at possibly purchasing the Ocean Vibe if it has more length down lane than the Arctic. Let me know, thanks
Great video! Just curious. Are you willing to do a 'Mirror Challenge '? I've not seen it before. You're a 'lefty', but can you match 'mirror' the ball path board by board throwing as a 'righty'?😊
Im looking for help picking a ball. I bowl 1 handed 2 fingers and just started bowling 2 times a week for about 3 months using house balls. Im looking to get a ball. I have done research and figured HAMMER ARTIC OR BLACK WIDOW 3 OR VENOM SHOCK...What would you all suggest?
Blue vibe was my go to burn ball for 3 seasons. Put a light polish on it and it will ignore friction in the fronts. Wish it hadn't cracked I loved that ball.
I had the onyx vibe and was not happy with it. Felt the drilling was wrong for me so never got comfortable with it. This one tho has peaked my interest

Sounds like you have plenty of bowling balls,...you might want to get a life at this point.
I was able to test this ball early as well for a product highlight video. It’s very good! Already earned a spot in my bag.
Nice!!
First! Noticing your logo in the winner's circle lately. That's the way to be.
The first blue vibe and the cherry vibe were something special.
I can’t wait to try this one
I just bought the radioactive Vibe, and just got it drilled. Thru it in practice, the last 2 days, love it! Now I would love this ball.

My favorite vibe of all time was the grape. It was the best burn ball I’ve drilled.

Getting mine on Tuesday!! Can’t wait!
Super dope history lesson and I enjoyed discovering you had a hand in that company ball design.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching
Onyx Vibe was my favorite. I've had several in the Vibe series, starting with the Cherry.
Both of them were good
Cherry vibe was my first and I've had the most success with that one. Second would be ocean vibe.
The cherry was great too
Nice one Ron. The Arctic Vibe looks like another good one and at a very reasonable price point. Definitely a lot of ball for the money. Looks great for house shots... it also has a fair amount of shelf appeal. 😎
This is by far one of the best looking balls in quite a while why this isn’t done more makes no sense to me considering they just sell more
Oynx Vibe was my favorite
That one is a classic
@@Ctdbowling To much Fleece Johnson Ron 😂
I have the Midnight Vibe that I still currently use.
got my arctic vibe last week and bowled a personal best of 204 on my 4th game with it

I love this ball. My favorite in my bag right now. I my House bag is Effect, Vibe, 3.0.

Favorite vibe was the cherry, og and remake
Cool video tech bowling ball hammer artic vibe with hk22 technology in the bowling ball more strike and spares hitting power at times Ron hucklund
I had the purple/grape Vibe and loved it.
Still have a Cobalt Vibe from 2014. It sometimes comes out to play if the lanes are torched.
I love my ocean vibe so much I drilled a second ball. 1 pin up the other pin down. Also have the orange vibe . Great line for the price point
Cherry vibe was my favorite so far. I will be trying the arctic soon!
“Night driving without headlights, wearing sunglasses too”😎…or if you are a bit older…”I wear my sunglasses at night”…I’m feeling the Vibe!
I’ve only had 2 Vibes. I had the Emerald Vibe way back in the day and now I have the Radioactive Vibe. This ball is so good and doesn’t get a lot of recognition. I even brought it to the EC
This might be the coolest vibe yet.
Seems like Brunswick kicking SPI butt lately and I bowl primarily with SPI products. 😂
Ron , i have the ocean vibe and slept on it but it is a great performing ball

Ocean vibe was my 300 ball and my favorite vibe of them all I got the most consistent reaction with that ball and bowled my best with it
My highest series ever is with the Ocean Vibe, definitely my favorite in the line.
The boondocks. Also, I can't wait to get my hands on this vibe!
Only have/had one vibe. Orange solid. Still in my bag.
i have a weird question / i bowl right handed but i eat with left hand / i brush teeth with left hand / i do most things with left hand but bowling i always used my right i think bc i was young n just did what ppl around me did * being they was right handed* so im asking is that common or ok ? bc part of me feels like i should re learn left hand ?
Never thrown a vibe but might have to pick this one up. I threw Black Widow and Black Widow viper back in the day. Currently throwing Brunswick balls- True Nirvana, Magnitude 035, and last year I picked up the Defender Hybrid which was my first HK22 ball.
Also saw Packy throw 300 on his review :)
I had the Emerald green Vibe
The boondocks reference is crazy lol great video
My favorite was the original cherry vibe.
Og cherry vibe was a beast ❤
@@brackend1936 I shot my 2nd 300 with that ball. My first was with a Furious. Haven't really doing anything I like as much as those since I had to finally retire them

How was your Nationals experience? Can you do a video of what was in your bag and what you would've brought different if you had to do it again?
Great ball with great value. My favorite Vibe was the Onyx.
The blue one was smooth
There was a black vibe. Only a few out there of it. Best vibe I've ever had. Miss the hawg series.
Great video. I had the original Cherry Vibe and loved that ball.
Emerald Vibe was my fav by far!! Og cherry vibe I scored with the best!
my favorite Vibe is Ocean Blue. I plan on gettin an Artic Vibe as well.
My favorite vibe was the burgundy hammer remake.
I just recently purchased an Artic Vibe. For some reason, I cannot generate the hook from my release, and it's always been this way. This Vibe does indeed hook for just a normal release, but I need to learn how to flip the ball more out of my release. Frustrating.
Artic will be my 1st Vibe
How is that new Hammer Ball similar to the DV8 decree bowling ball that they came out with a couple of years ago
Ron do brighter covers, specifically white absorb faster than black covers?
That isn't necessarily true because chemistry can impact the absorption rate too.
The 2 vibes I matched up well with were the Radioactive Vibe and the original Emerald Vibe.
cherry vibe one my favorite balls ever owned first 300
@Ctdbowling I like the ocean vibe and onyx. Ron, how would you compare this to the ocean vibe?
Right now I have the Radioactive vibe, definitely getting this one too
This Vibe Arctic, is it more angular than the Ocean Vibe? I'm looking at possibly purchasing the Ocean Vibe if it has more length down lane than the Arctic. Let me know, thanks
I love my aric vibe almostvshot a 300 last week
The new vibes if you flip it you would have the original vibes. I loved the og cherry but I loved the emerald vibe.
man i was waiting for another vid with the fancy shades
Is it better or the same as the Raw line up
Midnight vibe, cherry vibe and the Cobalt vibe
I have the ocean vibe, it is my main ball
Hey look at that! Hammer Vicious I got when it first came out and it just died on me a few months ago :D
I have thrown a number of vibe balls throughout the years, but I have to say the best vibe ball that I have ever thrown has been the Onyx vibe
Definitely a good one
@@Ctdbowling yessir….no question….just wish Hammer would bring it back.
Great video! Just curious. Are you willing to do a 'Mirror Challenge '? I've not seen it before. You're a 'lefty', but can you match 'mirror' the ball path board by board throwing as a 'righty'?😊
I won my first tournament with a ocean vibe, but I love the radioactive vibe
Niceee
Onyx bruh, That thing was beastly.
The Green Vibe was my favorite
Nice video Ron
Nice bro..nice lane

Haven't bought a new ball in two years... until now!
Original Cherry Vibe is my favorite
I got the orange vibe 😎 can not wait get this ball
What oil pad are you using?
Cobalt vibe was my favorite
Midnight Vibe
Yo are those CTD shades? I need some of those ASAP
I currently have the cherry vibe, emerald vibe, marble swirl vibe, blue vibe, and the orange vibe. I traded my ocean vibe ball.
Blue vibe was my go to burn ball for 3 seasons. Put a light polish on it and it will ignore friction in the fronts. Wish it hadn't cracked I loved that ball.
My favorite Vibe was and still is the Onyx Vibe.
A great ball
I had the onyx vibe and was not happy with it. Felt the drilling was wrong for me so never got comfortable with it. This one tho has peaked my interest
Worth a shot
Are you pulling off the Creative Differences version of Pete Weber with the sunglasses? 😅 Now I may get the Vibe ball to try.
Emerald Vibe was my favorite
👍good job
Green emerald was the best. And still waiting for you to put out that hand shammy/ hand dryer lol 😂
It's coming for sure
How does this compare to the Hammer Effect?
The Effect is a much stronger piece
Yeah she's cool. She's real real cool.
I had the grape vibe. Shot my 1st 300 with it.
Nice
Radioactive is my only one. This will be in the bag as well when I need just a little more ball compared to that one.
That Boondocks reference…
😆😆😆
Had a Vicious Particle...was a great ball but cracked several years ago
