Hey all, I'm debating between getting a black widow sting or venom, possibly nasty too. Just need a decent-hooking ball for heavier oil play. I currently have storm's rapid fire pearl and virtual energy, and columbia's white dot. I once had the black widow pearl, it was a kick-ass ball, but it was stolen.

I was honestly aiming to grab storm's reign of fire, but the 2 balls I already have from storm are consistently leaving me ghost pins and solid 7s and 10s, which is drastically dragging down my average, so I'm hoping Hammer will change that. Any input would be appreciated

If your looking for it to handle oil go with the sting , you wont regret it. I love mine, it absorbs some serious oil so make sure your clean it regularly and have it rejuvenate (baked) every 150~ games or so and you will be fine.

Ive had both balls. Depends on what you want the ball to do. Personally I did not like the Venom. It did not hook for me enough. With a little surface on my Sting, the ball will recover from the out of bounds area. I love the ball.

If you mean smooth/violent reactions as in arc/angular hook, I think I'll be leaning for the smoother arc on this one to see how good it works. Looks like the sting will be my new ball as of everyone's liking and suggestions. Thanks everyone.
