Our verdict

A smoother, more controlled Black Widow that still hits hard, aimed at bowlers who want an early, consistent read. Bowlers wanting the most angular Widow should look at the original shape.

Overview

A reengineered Gas Mask core, with its flip block removed and a lower differential, gives this Hammer Black Widow a calmer, more controlled motion. The hybrid cover reads the lane early for a consistent shape.

Bowlers get Black Widow hitting power with a smoother, tour-style shape. Those who loved the sharp flip of earlier Widows will find this one tamer.

Who it's for

Bowlers who want an early, predictable read on demanding patterns suit this ball. Players chasing a big, sharp move should choose a stronger Widow.
