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. Building on the immense success of its predecessors, each Black Widow release has consistently pushed the boundaries of ball reaction, and the Black Widow 3.0 continues this trend of excellence. 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. Distinguished by its solid reactive composition, akin to the Black Widow 2.0, the 3.0 version introduces an upgraded cover featuring a solid iteration of HK22, maintaining the same out-of-the-box surface as its predecessor. The incorporation of HK22 provides the Black Widow 3.0 with a distinct advantage on medium to oily lanes, ensuring superior performance. Hammer enthusiasts will be thrilled to discover that the ball retains the iconic black and orange colors synonymous with the traditional Hammer aesthetic.

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.
