The new Hammer releases will be unveiled at Bowl Expo, as they are every year. The balls hit the approved list in April/May, but will not be released until June, at Bowl Expo.

This topic is meant to be informative. I just didn't want to have to keep copy and pasting my responses, like Chitown does on the DOOM.

I heard from PAP that he will be receiving the Black Widow at the end of this week. Now keep in mind he is in Sweden so I'm not sure if that release will be part of the bowl expo balls. I also don't know if that will be an overseas release.
Hammer is on the ball with the new releases from the info that has been shared. The juice reactive with the Doom core. That ball is going to be awesome.

Black Widow
Boss Hawg
Devil (Teal-violet)
Galaxy Harv
Hammer Polyester
Hawg Zilla
Nasty Blade
Raw Hammer Pain
Raw Hammer Result
Road Hawg Max
Switch Blade (Blue-black)
Ultra Mega X
Vibe (Blue)
X5
X7
Obviously, some of these are overseas and others are just testers that will never make it out, but some of these are sure to be seen at the expo. I wonder if the X5 and X7 are part of the new line that we're hearing about. Should be interesting.

He also told me that early reviews of this ball by Tony Reyes and Doug Kent are really good..

I got a question, i was reading somewhere that the black widow has the gas mask core in it, but not sure of the cover, so how will this stack up to The Big Deal. Im interested in this one becuz i jus wanna know how it stacks up. The pain is already on my To Buy Immediatly list.

The black widow will outhook the big deal by quite a bit according to the specs of both balls..
according to brian at hammer, it has the strongest backend reaction of any ball hammer has ever released..

How do they look in person? Is the black widow solid black with just a black widow on it? Is the pain dull or shiny? is the vibe actually blue in color?
Let us know..

I am fan of the plain colored balls like the PURE Hammer I was wondering if this was solid black with a red spider on it. That would be pretty sweet.
On the solid color front, Columbia 300 is coming out with a solid black Scout Reactive which is pretty exciting.

i think that switch blade is 13 pounds and under or something like that but i know that switch doesn't come in 14,15 or,16 pound (thats the sad part i love my switch blade)

i believe that to be the dumbest statement ever made. every resin ball put out by any company is available usually from 12-16lbs but always 14-16. the blue/purple Switch Blade was available in i believe 12-16 and i know its atleast 14-16 because my sister has a 14lb Switch. they wont release a resin ball that isnt available in all weights, thats retarded.

....now throwing Brunswick like a real man
well check the approved list then (i also have a 14lb switch), hey its not my fault, thats the way Hammer are making it

PAIN- Purple/White swirl. 1000 Abrolon, I think. Fairly dull finish
VIBE- Very Blue with Sparkles.
Widow- Black and deep red swirl. Mine doesn't have much red in it. Red Widow.

The Switch Blade you see is international only.
I will be drilling and throwing the Black Widow, Blue Vibe and the Pain today.
The 3 bowling balls mentioned above are the only ones being released by Hammer at this time.
Tonight I will make sure I post my thoughts compared to the rest of the Hammer product line.
