Elevating an already exceptional lineage is a formidable task, yet they've achieved it once again with the revolutionary Hammer Black Widow 3.0 bowling ball.

Designed as a perfect companion to the Widow 2.0 Hybrid, the Black Widow 3.0 boasts enhanced surface and tractions in oil, positioning it as the ideal go-to ball at the beginning of your game.

Boy did Hammer get this one right with another addition to an incredible line with the Black Widows. The Black Widow 3.0 has the backend reaction that you may not have in the 2.0. Is it the Gas Mask Core? Is it the HK22? You should get yours and see for yourself! I drilled mine slightly earlier and stronger than I typically drill my equipment, (50 x 5 x 20), and my favorite pin down layout, and both bowling balls do not disappoint! The midlane read and backend reaction for both bowling balls are strong and continuous through the pins. Don't wait on this ball! As we head into tournament season, this ball is a must have in your bag!

Ball: Hammer Black Widow 3.0
Coverstock: HK22 - Aggression Solid
Core: Gas Mask
Factory Finish: 500, 1000, 2000
Layout: 50 x 5 x 30

The Black Widow 3.0 does not disappoint. From its shelf appeal to the ball reaction, it is wow factor. Out of the box, everyone commented on how early and smooth the 3.0 was on the lane. It struck quite a bit. Then, as it lane shined, it became longer and a lot more angular. It still strikes quite a bit. So much so that I have not touched the surface. The 3.0 is a great compliment to the Widow 2.0 Hybrid for times where you need something with a bit more teeth in the oil.

You can’t go wrong with the Widow series. The 3.0 is no different.

I’m a huge fan of the Widow line and the 3.0 does not disappoint. This is a benchmark to stronger benchmark type ball that can be used on a variety of lane conditions and it has a lot of shape down lane for me for a solid ball. Most stronger solids burn up on me on medium oil and I can only throw them on heavy volume. The Widow 3.0 retains energy and shape even if it’s not sport pattern kind of volumes. Out of the box the comments were on how early and smooth the 3.0 was on the lane. It struck quite a bit. As it lane shined it became longer and a lot more angular but still strikes quite a bit. The 3.0 is a great compliment to the Widow 2.0 Hybrid for times where you need something with a bit more teeth in the oil.

Likes:Black Widow 3.0 is the latest greatest release in the Black Widow line and does not disappoint!  This piece is very predictable with a smooth but strong motion downlane and through the deck.  She will easily be your first pick out of your bag for medium to heavier oil patterns.  It made it’s debut on the Earl Anthony pattern this past weekend which was very challenging.  On the fresh, I was able to roll it to my target revved up but not throw it at it which would be peril.  The response and hitting power just proves why the Black Widow line is and always has been a cut above.  The black and orange coloration is turning heads in every bowling center and pro shop.  Don’t miss out on getting yours today!!
