Title: Black Widow Limited
Post by: bradl on October 21, 2015, 12:57:37 PM: I know it was just announced today, so yes, I already have questions!

For those not in the know, it was just announced, at least on Hammer's YouTube channel:

In looking at the specs, that looks close to the BW Red Legend, with the big differences being the coverstock (NBT Pearl vs. Semtex Pearl) and the finish. The Limited does also have a higher FCC rating (25.25 vs. 23.5).

I don't know if it is just me, but I'm not seeing that hooking shape that I'd normally see in a BW because of the core. I'm actually seeing that more in the BWRL than the BWL.

My BWRL is in the shop (someone at the pro shop decided it would have been a wonderful idea to punch up my ball with the pin in the bridge, which after 3 games on it, cracked the bridge around the pin), so I'm wondering if it would be better to punt on the BWRL and go with the Limited, or stick with the BWRL.

But am I missing something with comparing the shape of the Limited with the BWRL? Video for that is below.

The ball was announced today! Initially was supposed to be limited to those bowling in the US Open Pro-Am, but because the performance was so good, they decided to release a limited amount to the public! Going to be amazing!

That's pretty sharp looking. To me at least.
