No Mercy vs Black Widow Vid @ Buddies
« on: October 23, 2006, 08:51:19 AM »
Hey all, for all of you who have wanted to see a comparison between the two, buddies has one in thier No Mercy video.  It was surprising to see that the NM seemed to go a tad longer than the BW (could just be me), though it is definitely more arcy.  Watch it here:

both balls look close to each other but the no mercy looks to have slightly better continuation into the pins.to close for me to call.

All i have to say is.. WOW! Six Pack you are right about the reactions, but i checked again, and the last shot he throws, it looks like the Black Widow makes a hard arc when it's comming back, while the No Mercy flipped on that line. It is a close call, but the No Mercy looks great!

first off, wow I have not had to wait so long for a vid to load since I had dial up... Second, they look really close, too close IMO. It seems to me, if you dont have the BW then you have the choice, but if you do....you shouldnt bother... thats what I saw from the vid anyways

both look like they compliment each other well, but damn what a kick butt song they used what is it??? imho they no mercy looks a little more angular than the widow and the widow is a smooth strong arc.

my widow with the 5" pin to pap has all kinds of length and backend,more than what I need but it's fun.I did take my cover down to 600 grit for a heavier shot and it still had all kinds of length and energy to thrash the pins around.but I think I'll have to pass on the no mercy eventhough it is a cool ball too.I love the direction Hammer is going with their stuff.

Vicarious by Tool. Great song and great video from Buddies. Had to wait hella long for it to load, but it was pretty well done. If I can get anything close to that reaction out of my Widow, I'll be one happy camper.

hehe, for those who waited soo long for it to load, its probably because so many people are accessing it at one time.  If you want, right click it and go to "save link as" and you can download the vid to your HDD.  Then you can watch it all you want

great video and great comparison... wish i had the digital equipment to work on something like that haha

same comparison i have made... widow makes its move later and is is a tad smoother off the break... the no mercy rolls way hard off the break, reminds me of the ONE

the no mercy does have a kick to it.  The Black Widow looks really smooth in this vid.  Both balls on this condition look powerful.

HMMM! I wonder what the reaction video of the NM would look like with the drilling #6 layout? The BW I saw on TV Pro tour was with PIN above bridge and between fingers. Ball went long and snapped back hard! Anyone know if there is a difference in these balls coverstocks?  handmeDN
