I have heard nothing from Brian at Hammer or anyone about a recall on Black Widows.. There is also nothing on the Hammer website..

Also, if you going to put a post out here like this, at least put in it WHY they are supposedly recalling the balls.. I know several people thowing the BW and they love the ball..

I am not suggesting there is a recall, or there is going to be a recall.  I heard a few things from some local people, and "posted out here like this" to find out the real deal from those in the know.  

But to answer your question, the RUMOR is some problem with the core. (don't have anymore details, as it's just a rumor)

I just ordered a BW a couple days ago and am anxious to get my hands on it, and with everything I went through with the Paradigm last year (cracked 5 of them before I gave up), I'm a little sensitive at the moment.

Actually, yes!  People should be able to sort through the misinformation on their own.  It is the internet after all so you have to take everything with a grain of salt.

THANK YOU RONALD HICKLAND!!  I appreciate the info straight from the source.

Fireguy - That post right there is exactly WHY I posted this question.  In order to seperate truth from rumor.  

This is the whole darn point of the interent.  To allow people to obtain information from sources they normally would never be able to.  Sorry you can't see that.

I don't see the big deal.  He simply said that he heard a rumor and asked if anyone could verify if it was true or not.  By posting that, and by Mr. Hickland responding, everyone can now see that it is false.  As compared to some of the completely idiotic posts by some other users in the past few days, I see nothing wrong with this at all.  Just my $.02  I'm pretty relieved to hear it myself as I just purchased a BW this weekend.

Fireguy, please review your meds with your MD.  What your taking is either too much or too little.
