was looking for a nice quality transition/burn ball with good length and back end. Hammer is right on time with this one!

Never really paid that much attention to the Scorpion series, but this one caught my eye with its backend reaction. I might get this piece.

Same here.

Commenting on what you said about waiting for the day a pin stands back up you'd cry, i was working on the front 10 after never having 300 i rolled one in the pocket so perfect the 10 pin flipped off the curtain and stood up in the 6 pin spot.....i almost had a mental breakdown..... anyway lol. I like this ball

Nick, you are aces my friend! I have an OG Scorpion that I love. This will be a perfect companion to it. Thanks for sharing as always!

You and Hype Charles on the same ball schedule? Lol Love to see multiple reviews on all these balls. Great stuff BrunsNick!

My arsenal is sort of pearl-heavy, but man this one looks good

This ball lists for $145.00! Looks great. HK22, pearl, 1500, compound, nice big core. I’m looking for a new piece just because. And after seeing it in action, this could be it.

Nick, I once had a pin slide into the channel while upright, bounce off the wall and back into the channel, then settle back on the lane standing up - this occurred in game 1. In game 3 I had a pin richochet off the wall sideways but stand up spinning like crazy, eventually coming to a stop about 3 feet in front of the sweep and in front of the 3 pin. I didn't cry but came real close - two of the most unlucky breaks occurring on the same night. It happened nearly 50 years ago but I remembrer it like yesterday. Ugh!!!

About 40 years ago my dad had a pin come out of the pit on a strike, go through the sweep and stand up in the middle of the lane. 3 months ago I had the headpin hit the left wall and stand up where the 7 pin was. I normally video my practices but wasn't that time.

About a decade ago, I had a pin bounce out of the pit after a flush strike, only to dance and spin around across the pin deck and settle in on the 2-pin spot. On the outside, I was laughing in shock and disbelief…but internally, I wanted to fight somebody.

I was in league and threw a strike! Should've recorded it

I would've loved this ball to come out sooner. This looks like an amazing ball for its price point

Looking at my Scorpion Sting, Scorpion Hybrid and Scorpion LF wondering where this new Scorpion fits into my arsenal... I know my wallet doesn't need a new ball that doesn't do something really different from what I already own. Love the colors and am very curious about adding an HK22 into my collection but I may pass on this one. I am very happy with my Sting so I don't think I need a replacement for that. I do love those colors though. Hammer has some of the best looking balls on the market. My green smoke Web Pearl is beautiful and a very solid performer as well.

I have the OG scorpion as my benchmark so this would fit right up next to it. But I am curious where and if this ball would fit into your arsenal Nick? btw keep up the good work on reviews and content!! Really happy to have started watching your channel 😃

Wow that ball hooks for a symmetric pearl, even when going left on less than ideal conditions.

Been very interested in this one

Great video Nick! You the man!

Cool video talk tech bowling ball brunsnick

Thanks BrunsNick for another great review! Never considered any of the Scorpions but this one is definitely going on my list. Hopefully I can get it before going to nationals near the end of July.

I want to get a new ball but cannot afford to have 5 different balls. Bowling with a Brunswick Method now and not a high rev bowler. Really like this ball and hope it will fit the bill for senior league. Thanks

Nick, I don't know your capabilities when doing these reviews or if this has been mentioned before, but I think a lot of bowlers would like to see this. It would be awesome if you could do almost like a split review where you have a sport or challenge shot on another lane. The reason I mention this is because a few months ago, I bowled on a super flat sport pattern for the first time, and balls that were generally smooth and continuous on a house shot for me became super angular and violent. However, many people throwing weaker balls than what I was using such as the red Tundra Fire, NU Blue, and Endeavor where really successful. Your videos are super informative already, and they're basically the verdict when it comes to me choosing a new ball, especially since I throw a similar ballspeed and revrate to you. However, it would be very helpful to see how balls perform in vastly different environments in the reviews, and I would feel more informed in my decision making prior to buying a new ball. Thanks!

This Ball hits exceptionally hard!

pretty much a web tour pearl with hk22 and a touch less core.. maybe? better continuation through pins

I take it back 😅 Your crown jewel pattern is different compared to the 2012 pattern in the pattern library drop box Thanks for adding that to the video

How does this compare to the low fare hammer released a while back

This is cleaner and more backend, the low flare is better playing straighter since it’s smoother.

Good video, enjoyed watching oh well this one responds to little changes like that, unrelated note but i know y’all putting that HK22 base on everything and for some reason something popped into my noggin, what if y’all slapped the NU cover stock on the Gas Mask core? Don’t know if that might happen but hey i would definitely love to see how a ball like that reacts!

Great review as always Nick. Do you think this ball will maintain its backend strength after it's seen some lane shine and then is sanded? On my Cuda Pearl after sanding it once it lost all backend strength and didn't get it back no matter what grit I used on it.

I'm getting a crypto boom vibe, it's a pretty ball but the low flare was also purple

you were talking about a brunswick melee jab purple og?

Looks like a Melee Jab Nick

Ok nick which way to hammer scorpion strike new Hammer Hazmat or Hammer effect not to mention excited to see this New Brunswick Mesmerize 4 color with new tri core and the new Atlas 😮😮😮 my head is dizzy another great video Nick

Interesting

Can someone please answer why bowlers blow in their thumb holes? I notice some do, some don't, some do it every shot, others it seems random. Im assuming its in case something gets in there, but that seems so far fetched to me.

It gives you a little time to grip so you won't drop it then you can put tape later if needed

Moisture from your breath makes the thumbhole tackier to give them a little more grip, to prevent the ball from slipping off their hand. I personally can't stand moisture getting in my...*ahem* hole. I try not to grip the ball too much with the thumb anyway.

Im the same, any moisture and I have to back off, wipe my thumb off, wipe out the thumb hole etc. Personally, it drives me nuts hearing that sound every shot on these channels. Not so much on this channel, but others its just annoying. Maybe now that I know why it wont bug me. Thanks again.
