Looks like Bowlersmart caught another spider.

Same specs and finish as the Black Widow R, except the M has the Fang Hybrid coverstock. Like the Lethal Dose, I can't find anything on it yet.
Anyone know anything about these coverstocks?
Oh.. release date on this is TODAY.

More INTL balls ( both the R & M)
Just a different Hybrid coverstock (prolly stronger cover than the Deadly Aim).

So would I be correct in staying that the Fang coverstock slots somewhere between the Primer Reactive Hybrid and NBT Hybrid coverstocks?

Stronger tires and the same reliable engine. When there is a demand, companies will supply it. I'm still good with my B.W. Legend and B.W. Assassin though ;D

It took 11 minutes for them to be sold out. Dudes must have been waiting and pushing the refresh button like it was an iPhone! ;D ;D ;D

Yes. Yes I was. Actually I showed the ball to my son while he was at his summer league tonight. He likes rare things and became interested in the 14#. So I was on a mission.
Got one of the 14# and one of the 15#.

Dang, you done scored my brother!
Only 4 14# and you snagged one. Well done!

I looked at the website and my computer clock said 7:59pm CST and it was already sold out. Good thing I'm a Storm/Roto Grip fan otherwise I might be a little upset.

Don't I know it. I wasn't optimistic, but the force was with me I guess. And they said being a nerd would never pay off.....

Tracking numbers received. He'll be the only kid on his block (or hemisphere) to have one. If he likes it, I guess he can have the 15 when the time comes (no need for me to drill it up for me right now).

I'm surprised none have shown up on eBay yet. One of the other Bowling forums has one listed for sell, but not eBay. Makes me think I should throw mine up there with a "Buy it now"

I hadn't checked yet, but that does seem a bit out of character. I'm a strange sort, I generally buy things because I want them....for my use. Although I guess it would behoove me to monitor. If people are willing to pay a ridiculous premium, I'd have to consider selling it. But I'd rather wait until my son starts drilling up his 14# stuff (will be sticking to 13 for the foreseeable future). Because if he likes it and wants another when he moves up to 15, then the option will be there.

I just put mine on eBay at a stupid price. Lets see if anyone bites. LOL
-
So there were less than 40 of these?
-
In the U.S. market.
29 15# and 4 14# according to Bowlersmart

If someone bites, mine will be up 5 minutes later. 8)

I have mine for sale or trade also. Not a hammer guy but with only 33 in the us. Someone will pay for it. Or I'll drill it, no loss either way

Well well. A video.

So will third and final release be Black Widow Monster? Would seem to follow the progression. Also think the picture of the M at this site is better representative of actual colors.

Typical house bowlers....."I'm going to put this ball up for sell for 500$"
So typical !!

Boxes arrived today, good news and bad news. The good news is that the 14 had great specs for the boy. He's digging it so it's a winner from his perspective for when he moves up.
The 15, not so much (for me). Our driller says that balls with pins less than 3" is not good for either of us. The 15 is a 2-3 pin, but it is definitely on the bottom end of the scale. Two may be generous. Not good for me, and not good eventually for the boy. Kinda bummed because it's a really sharp looking ball. I suppose I'll look to sell or trade. I hate being that guy though.

For the 15 lb ball what's the top weight and what type reaction do you want? This may give you a chance to try a different type layout. -- JohnP

I sent specs and pics to my main man Lee at BowlerX. Said its workable but limiting. Not sure if roll-y is what I want for this ball. Weighing options.

There's a 14# up on the 'bay right now, for another hour or so...at $170 right now, looks like it will go a lot higher, IMO...

It did not. It was my son's. He'd rather have an Octane which is why he decided to sell instead of drill. So he's solid, but I'm sure a bit disappointed it didn't go for more considering I sold my 15# for 335 in eBay. I fairness, that seems to be the best price gotten so far. And not even a close second. Lucky timing I guess.
