Featuring the High Mass Bias Gas Mask core with flip block and Violent Reactive coverstock, the Black Widow goes long and attacks violently on the backend. There''s no lane condition out there that''s safe.

This ball is simply amazing. I am a fairly high rev rate player with ball speed between 16.5-18 depending on conditions. I actually had to polish this ball just to get a little more length. I have never seen a ball hook this much and be as consistent out of the box.

pin - 2.75 in
right handed layout - pin below middle finger with cg just right of center grip. hmb is between 45 and 75 degrees.

Ball has amazingly smooth and consistent backend. I bowl on a shorter house pattern so i had to polish the ball up with ultimate black magic particle and resin ball polish. Even though it shines like a new penny ball is still even arcing rather than skid snap. Gets down lane and once it sarts up it doesn't stop.
Simply amazing!

As I'm sure you know by now (thanks to the people before me with their excellent commentary), this ball IS the best ball ball out their mainly due to it's versatillity.  With the right combination of pin placement and coverstock options, this ball is perfect for any condition ranging from Broken down Light oil to Medium-Heavy oil.

As far as what I've had done with mine... I have it turning early, turning weak, OOB coverstock.  I have found that I was able to play(on THP) the track/outside track area(11-6 board) with ease. I'm a low track cranker with a very smooth stroke.

To give you an idea of exactly how much the ball has helped me though, I've went from a struggling 200 average, to a solid 220.

Ok.. haven't done one of these in a while.. so..

Right Handed
250-400 RPMs
PAP-4 3/4" over and 1/2" up.
Speed-Average about 17.5 on a normal day.

Drilled 5" x 5" (not exact). Pin above bridge and mb kiced exactly 1 1/2" right from center of thumb hole.

THS:

This ball definitely does what it was said to do. It backends. With the higer pin and longer pin distance the ball really gets down the lane. I was skeptical at first since I didn't believe a reactive solid would go that long.. but it really does. For me the ball revs up very nice in the midlane (Hard to see that though.. needed a piece of tape to really see), and then when it hits the backend it flies left and hits/carries very well.

In a little more oil the ball will smoothen out and work nicely. I thought at first the ball wouls skid on heavier oil, but with the helo of the midlane roll it still can be used in a good amount of oil.

On carrydown it acts like there is none. It bits through the backend unbelieveably.. even better than alot of particle balls I have thrown!

Sport Shot:

Medium Length JOG shot.. somewhat different but close

When throwing down the OOB.. as said before with all the oil it becomes really smooth. When playing inside it ended up hooking a little early as they broke down.. even moving left didn't help. I had to move right and feed it to the oil a little bit to get the ball to work.. so probably not the best ball to throw in the drier part of the SS.

Overall:

This ball is all it is meant to be. It revs up a good amount while saving all that energy to the backend.. it's the kind of ball I have been looking for. The ball hit's very well.. and like Hammer is saying with the NO Mercy.. The Widow should also be layed out with a simple layout unless your looking for an exact reaction. I was told my Doug Kent at a Ball Expo in Allentown, PA that anyone should put at least a 5" pin and a MB placement around the thumb. Anything drilled strong sucked since that wasn't what that ball was meant for!

Good luck guys.. I definitly think this is going to be a good contender for Ball of the Year!

p.s. I hope this is better than the one above.. I couldn't let that be the only one here, lol.

I got my Widow beginning of the season,greatest ball I've had since my black hammer, finished last year at 219,am now at 231 for the first 8 weeks and leading average in the league ,smooth arch and very predictable,It Is good enough for Doug Kent,he just won $100,000 this week with it,its not the strongest ball hammer has out , but it sure working for me

Rounds two and three...

The widow provided a stronger reaction than expected. It also needs some oil man! Decided to take it out to a short oil house and got on the next shift. I had to put it away or play the lone thumber for more tilt. Suprisingly with cover modification it made the mid lane but WOW on the comeback. Stronger and more angular.....

More to come!

After making a mistake on a drill on a new Threshold I decided to go with what's hot and punch up a Black Widow.  What's happenenig in our area this year is the proprietors (most at least, some opted not to)decided to toughen up the shot a little.  I haven't had any trouble hitting the hole but the carry has gone south.  I was throwing a Paradigm most of last year standing 42 and throwing 18 out to 10.  This year it was about 33 throwing 12 and if you got over aggresive the ball pushed.  As it was, lots of 10's so it became more speed sensetive.  I'm guessing a wider pattern or a few more units wide.
I was looking for a ball that I could get back left and let it wheel without worrying about hang if I got a pinch wide or over aggresive.  With the Black Widow what I've seen after the first night was it allows just that.  I throw around 16 to 17 mph with a fairly good rev rate with 15lb equipment. On this ball we went with the pin below the bridge and kicked out the CG about 1-1/2 inches off the midline.  It's a monster and there needs to be a healthy puddle in the middle or this ball will go left...FAST.  I ended up standing 43 and trowing about 18 with the mentality of throwing it as hard as I could and still maintain balance at the line.  One thing I noticed right away if I got it a pinch in, instead of getting enough push and likely leaving 10's as with my other equipment it flushes up and is more apt to leave a 4 or 9 pin.
But basically with the thought of trying to throw it past the pocket there is no limit to how far this ball recovers from the right and hits hard.  Only shot 650 but fell off the last game.  Normally when the ball wants to turn up a bit earlier I give it a bit more air time at the line and project my target down lane a few feet farther. Since I've had to mellow things down to get stuff to face up better I couldn't get that down last night. Well see how it goes tonight but I may actually have to hit the 4000 Abralon with a pinch of polish to tame this beast down a bit.  I know we had oil last night as the other right hander on my team said he was about 4 boards right of normal.  Ancious to see it on a bit flatter pattern.

I laid the ball out with the pin 4" out and the HMB under right side of my thumb.

I worked with the surface and found 2000 abralon to be the best.

The ball is all backend .. no mid-lane at all. If the ball begins to hook in the mid-lane then put it away since it will only be a matter of time till you pay.

I like the ball very much..great weapon on the wet/dry house shots. Not good from outside angles. If skip/flip is your game you will like the ball very much.
