Title: Star Legend demoes the Black Widow Gold
Post by: bradl on May 02, 2016, 05:41:34 PM

Video of it is now up.


Initial thoughts: Semtex Pearl coverstock. Puts it inline with the BW Dark Legend and BW Limited. Gas Mask Core. As if you shouldn't expect anything less (yes, I'm looking at you, BW Nasty).

Looking at how it rolls, this is definitely more skid/flip, but not a violent flip. Something that looks like it could excel on the burn, but is definitely a ball you can swing out and get it to come back.

They compared it to the BW Dark Legend, which would be a step up from it, so you can see how they compliment each other. I'd rather have loved to see them compare it to the BW Red Legend, as that is another pearl piece that it could be compared to.

Colour: Yes, you can tell they took a page out of the IQ Tour Pearl. Looks brighter than it, the Optyx Formula 1, Pearl Quake, and Gold Rhino Pro. I have to admit, it makes for nice eye candy going down the lane.

Overall, I'd get this, especially if it makes it stateside. Speaking of.. anyone know if this is available at the Hammer booth at Nats?

Other than color, what is the difference between this and the Black Widow Limited?  Seems to be the same ball (cover, core, etc.)...

Pretty much is the same ball, just different colour and surface. BW Limited is 500/1000 with polish, while the BW Gold is 2000 w/polish. No real advantage if you already have the BW Limited, as you can make the surface adjustment to get the same specs the BW Gold has OOB.

Nice looking pill.
