A friend of mine just won a 5 ball arsenal from a pro shop. Helped him pick ‘em out based on some similarities to how he and Packy throw. Mesmerize, Intense Mindset, (already has a Squatch Solid for this spot), Arctic Vibe, teal Raw Pearl, and a Rattler Nu for control. Cannot wait to see him kill it in league this year with the new equipment!
Just drilled the stealth hybrid, first BOB ball ever for me. This ball is money. 18.5ish launch speed, 490-500 revs, super versatile piece, recommend for sure
The Arctic vibe has been my go to for league the last few months and i just love it to bits. The lanes are very hooky hooky at my center😂 great video packy thanks for the insight!!
My arsenal is very easy- Hustle X-ray, Hustle RIP, Hustle M+M and a plastic. I love my hustles, they work well for most conditions. and my plastic is a beast of a 12 pound that hooks hard. A few weeks ago i bowled a 228 with just my plastic
My arsenal is Start: Trailblazer Solid short pin or Hammer NU Blue depending what my competition is doing and lane conditions. Middle: Arctic Vibe with 3K surface (that thing is $$$!!) End: Sneak attack (OG hybrid) Wild card is BW 2.0 Hybrid
Almost didn't watch the video cos I thought you'd only pick from Brunswick. Hovered over the thumbnail, saw the Ion Pro after the Mesmerize and clicked through. Glad I did. Thanks, Austin, for the suggestions. I started bowling just under five months ago (first ball was a Raw Hammer hybrid) and I'll get my first experience bowling league from the middle of next month. I currently have that Raw Hammer and a Roto Grip Attention Star. I was wondering whether to get the Summit Ascent, Ion Pro, X-Cell or a Phaze II. After watch the video, it looks my best option might be the Ion Pro.
First ball out of the bag is the OG Knock Out. Depending on friction will depend on how I ball down. Sometimes I grab the OG Storm Drive, sometimes its the Raw Hammer solid, sometimes I even break out the Vapor Zone Hybrid. I have a Hero solid as well at my dispense.
My go to is a raw hammer, if the lanes dont hook as much i use a black widow 2.0, and i have a uc3 for when the lanes are super wet, my spare ball is the roto grip rg spare
Thanks Packy! I think the 3 ball bag I will be starting with this season is the Black Widow 3.0, Phaze 2, Motiv Black Venom with Pitch Black as my urethane option / spare ball. I may pick up a Harsh Reality Pearl and and Arctic Vibe to mix and match my 3 ball bag. Urethane will be the constant for the spares and as my 'get out of jail free' card for when the lanes get weird.
Good stuff, enjoyed this video a lot. Just picked up a Stealth hybrid for the league bag. Seems pretty clean, with a strong/rounded move off the spot. May hit it with some surface to read a bit earlier and smooth out the backend just a touch.
Hey Packy , what layout do you use on the Attic Vibe? And what layout would you recommend for a fellow two hander that's a bit slower? I just ordered an Artic Vibe from Austin earlier this week, so would like your input when he/his crew drill it for me next week! Thanks
I joined a league for the first time in about 20 years. Stared with a Teal Rhino Pro and a Messenger Pearl. Just picked up a C300 Piranha as I think I need something a bit stronger than the Rhino to start. Going to get it drilled tomorrow and hope to be practicing with it this weekend. If I had more $ to soend in balls to try out the Ethos, Theorem and that Stealth Hybrid look great.
Is the Sublime more of an aggressive ball or closer to a benchmark ball. I had a hard time with my Sublime because it was over hooking on my house shot even on the fresh. The Hustle has been good later in the set.
The best ball I used last year during league was black hammer urethane. It was just so good. And I got the arctic vibe a few weeks ago and can’t wait to try it during league. I think league starts next Saturday for me
My three ball out of the 6 I have would be tough. Motiv black venom and hustle pbr for sure at the 2 and 3 spot. Top of the bag either x-cell or attention star.
im taking a completely different approach with my league bag. Rattler Nu first ball out of the bag for that easy control up the outside and Verge hybrid for when i gotta open up the lanes
My doubles league is using a higher volume challenge pattern this year, so the Widow 3.0 has been money. I also have the Effect for when I really need to move in, but most of the time the lanes don't break down that much with only four of us on a pair, so I can just stay in the 3.0 all night. Third ball is my fathers old Ebonite Avenger from the late 90's for spares.
I have a bunch of bowling balls, and I like to bring 6 to league since our shot is never consistent. I usually run: Motiv Evoke Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid Envy Tour GB2 (old release) Zen Gold Label T-zone
I'm starting league with Harsh Reality, Harsh Pearl, 2018 Lane shined IQ tour. I have an undrilled Ion pro and Vaporize that I plan on drilling at the half way point for the season when the Pattern changes.
My arsenal is very easy. I have 400+ revs (PAP. 6 5/8 by 1/8 up, Tilt. 14.5°, Axis R. 32°) so I am forced to throw plastic. However that does not mean I can't have a varied arsenal. My number one is the KR Strikeforce Clear Rose. The rose acts like an asymmetrical core and the lucite shell has more grip than polyester. My back-up strike ball is the Pyramid Pathogen Blue Dot which is a polyester ball with a MASSIVE asymmetrical core. My third is a Pyramid Path spare ball (pancake weight block) which is also usable as a back-up strike ball. I tend to play the deep inside (3rd to 4th arrow), often hooking the ball as much or more than the guys throwing reactive.
My arsenal consists of TNT, TNT Infused and I just picked up the X-Cell a few weeks ago, for those pesky 7 pins I have the WD Patriot haven't missed a 7 pin in a very loooonnnng time LOL. I'm a lefty high speed low ref bowler all are 15 lbs.
If you ever make it to Texas and want a terrible challenger because I had to switch from my right hand (which I bowled with for 15 years) to my left hand (3 weeks in)
Oh my goodness Packy and crew! Are yall using a voice actor/worker?! I can't tell if its an AI voice or not, but I would LOVE to provide your channel with a professional human voice. I do voice work full time from my home and I'm a fan of the channel; I would be elated to provide free voice work for yall! Please consider contacting me, I really just want to provide a real life professional quality voice because I'm a bowling fanatic! Cheers, great video as usual 😁
Cool video talk tech bowling ball Brunswick mesmerize bowling ball with dot technology drill anywhere technology and dynamic core technology 2 and hk22 technology in the bowling ball more strikes and spares hitting power at times packy
No offense but these reviews are always really "new ball heavy". Your average league bowlers don't get new balls every month, maybe once or twice a season. Maybe throw in some balls res m released in years past, or even within the last 12 months

-house ball (spares)

Of these 3 I would go Mes, Ion, Hustle, but I am a 2 hander and I like smooth control.
My three ball out of the 6 I have would be tough. Motiv black venom and hustle pbr for sure at the 2 and 3 spot. Top of the bag either x-cell or attention star.

This year I’ll be using 2 new balls being the hammer extreme envy (new), then track paragon hybrid (personal favorite of mine) hammer effect (new)
Pretty new to the bowling scene but first ball I bought for myself has been a hammer window ghost pearl. Been an amazing ball for me.
What is the name of the wrist thing you are wearing? 🤔
It is KT Tape, most knows as Kinesiology Tape, you can find it in Pro-Shops
Tape
Sticky flingleslog
@@Sancho5150😂 tape
A condom
I just built a new league bag. Its extreme envy, intense mindset, venom shock, hyer venom, raw pearl, white dot
Purple Hammer x3 is my bag right now 😂 (2 handed lefty)
Purple hammer ftw
For my two senior leagues, I'll be bringing an Attention Star, Xponent (solid), and a Hustle USA.
I just picked up a summit ascent, it is indeed as good as the staffers are saying.
Love this video my league arsenal is Xcell, stealth hybrid, ion, gold label and hustle RIP
I'm starting league with Harsh Reality, Harsh Pearl, 2018 Lane shined IQ tour. I have an undrilled Ion pro and Vaporize that I plan on drilling at the half way point for the season when the Pattern changes.
I love the fact your Brunswick!!! So many people throw SPI and review their products. I get tired of seeing SPI
Packy, what you think about the exponent pearl? And what you think about the clone? Those are my go to bowling balls so far
Packy with another great video
Love my Artic Vibe! Unreal performance for the $103 I paid.
I use my Absolute, GB4 (still an amazing ball) and often the Sneak Attack (also still great)
The Clone and the hammer Purple Solid Reactive too
Austin should have just said. Ahhhhh, I saw you strike almost at will this past weekend in Springfield with the Artic Vibe. I concede it’s in the bag.
My arsenal is very easy. I have 400+ revs (PAP. 6 5/8 by 1/8 up, Tilt. 14.5°, Axis R. 32°) so I am forced to throw plastic. However that does not mean I can't have a varied arsenal.

My third is a Pyramid Path spare ball (pancake weight block) which is also usable as a back-up strike ball.
I tend to play the deep inside (3rd to 4th arrow), often hooking the ball as much or more than the guys throwing reactive.
Lane #1 Teal Buzzsaw, Storm Vebo, and a Lane #1 Crystal Bomb spare ball is the current league bag
My arsenal consists of TNT, TNT Infused and I just picked up the X-Cell a few weeks ago, for those pesky 7 pins I have the WD Patriot haven't missed a 7 pin in a very loooonnnng time LOL. I'm a lefty high speed low ref bowler all are 15 lbs.
Rn I am using Hammer Effect as my first ball of league, then when it starts drying up I go to Phase 2 and for spares I use Ice
You're doing things opposite lol
As a lefty. Hustle RIP at 2k is a house shot demon! Terrorizes everyone and everything lol.
I got the ocean vibe and it's a very love hate relationship with that ball. Is the Arctic Vibe the play?
3.0, Stealth Hybrid, ethos (with spare ball) would be my league bag, if only allowed to take 3+spare.
Edit: That said, the Ion Pro is *stupid good.*
My three ball is the storm nova storm hyroad And hustle x ray
Full review of that Stealth hybrid in the works?
Mine rn is wicked collision, verge hybrid, captiv8. I’m ab to get the hater, violent collision and chill for my 6 ball arsenal.
You should do a video spray painting a resin bowling ball and throwing a game!
Love it
Nu Blue is the first out of my bag. Then it's tour envy, then my hammer effect.
Summit, iQ Tour Ruby, RG M&M, spare plastic.
And here I am still throwing my Envy Tour and Sensor Solid 🙈
I just rolled my Artic Vibe for a 298 I Sunday league love that vibe
That ball is amazing!
I know that bowling alley its Mount Lebanon bowling alley I also did a special Olympics tournament
my 3 ball league arsenal is a phaze II, GB4 hybrid, and a eternity
I feel like I’m out of date now lol. I have a black widow 2.0 solid and a web pearl (green/smoke).
If you ever make it to Texas and want a terrible challenger because I had to switch from my right hand (which I bowled with for 15 years) to my left hand (3 weeks in)
Hey bro you should come and bowl here in Okinawa Japan. The people here seem naturally good at bowling lol.
why the mesmerize and not the hammer effect
Hi Packy !
I need to polish my Artic Vibe😂😂
tbh i just use a brunswick plastic ball for everything
STORM!!!!
Aug 28 going Buddies build an arsenal

X-Cell over the Attention Star?
My arsenal is urethane. Pearl hammer to start then to a pitch black once it breaks down. Fucks everyone up but you.
No love for the Max Bias??
Too much hook for me on the house shot!

Love my stealth pearl. People are always asking me what ball I’m throwing. Can throw it on any condition
Yoo here second
Does being first mean I’ll get a free ball?
I got the free ball for being 23rd comment 🏆🏆🏆
No offense but these reviews are always really "new ball heavy". Your average league bowlers don't get new balls every month, maybe once or twice a season.
Maybe throw in some balls res m released in years past, or even within the last 12 months
Im coming in with 2 Roto Grip Hustles and a spare ball. My center hooks, A LOT.
