The ball is awesome.  Threw my teammate's ball and it's awesome.  It's nothing like ay other Hammer ball ever released.  I think the ball will be a big winner for Hammer

I can't wait to get mine.  I plan on buying that ball plus the Pain to go along with my Doom.  It looks like a Hammer arsenal for me this next season.

The Black Widow will use the gas mask core found in the big blue.  That's what I have read.  I hope so I like that core.

Hammer is coming out with some very interesting balls for this next season.

I absolutely loved the gas mask core.  
It was in the Big Deal and the Big Blue Pearl.  
I liked both of those balls.  

I have a feeling I will like this one too.

I am hearing REALLY good things about this ball.  

Chitown-  I even had someone tell me that there will be guys with multiples of this ball?   Can you believe that?  Someone with a bag full of Widows?    Nah.......never.

Hey that would be cool.  I'm a big fan of buying a few of the same ball.  Why not it has worked for me with the Dooms.  My arsenal for next season will have doubles of like 3 different balls.

Heard from an Am staffer today that this should be a classic in the making.  Strong in box condition with a strong heavy arc.  Lightly to high polish will give it more skate up front with a touch more angle in the back.  He said it will be the best replacement of the original Vortex II on the market.

Oh wow!  I think I see my future ball.

Aren't Hammer balls essentially Ebonite balls now though?

I think you can see a hint of red on the bowling ball in that picture.  I saw another picture of the Black Widow where the red was even more present.  I was hoping for a plain black ball but we'll see.  I'll have to see one in person.  Luckily, this ball looks cool enough to where I think my pro shop will definitely have it on display.

Saw one today being thrown by an Ebonite Test Staff Member.  Black and dark red.  the red almost appears pearl.  Also saw the Hawg Zilla, Whirlwind, Infinite One and the something else new as well that I didn't catch the logo on.

The Infinite One And Black Widow look nothing like the pictures that Bowlers Dream has posted.

Are there any more reviews of this ball from the people who have tried it?

This ball goes on sale in June right?

I think it will look much like Ebonite's old Pantera, which also was a black/red ball, but the red was so dark and intermingled that it was hard to discern that it was a 2 color ball at all.

I was actually hoping for a plain black ball with a red hourglass or red spider on it, so the less red it has the better.
