Our verdict

The newest Black Widow with more hook than before and the familiar strong backend, for bowlers who need a heavy-oil piece just below their strongest ball. It is too strong for dry lanes.

Overview

Heavy oil league nights, after the strongest ball has done its job, are where the Black Widow Dynasty steps in. Hammer pairs its Gas Mask core with a sanded Cohesion cover for a strong midlane read and the sharp backend the line is known for.

More hook than earlier versions with the same recognizable shape gives bowlers a familiar but stronger option. The sanded finish reads early. On light or dry patterns it will hook too soon.

Who it's for

Experienced league and tournament bowlers who know the Widow line will slot it in easily. Bowlers on light oil should look at a pearl or a weaker cover.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • More hook than prior versions
  • Proven Gas Mask core
  • Strong midlane read
  • Two-year limited warranty
Cons
  • Too strong for dry lanes
  • Core numbers not listed

Performance notes

A sanded Cohesion cover reads friction early in the midlane, while the Gas Mask core carries energy for a strong turn at the breakpoint. Pin carry comes from the core's continuation. Clean the cover often to protect its grip.
