What do you know about the Black Widow Pearl?
« on: February 15, 2007, 09:20:48 AM »

does anyone know any details about this ball? Coverstock and weight block? Wondering if this will be a huge pearl or something more tame....

great question!I wonder if it will be anything special since the ball has been delayed so long and the stuff Ebonite has been releaseing seems to be all the rave.

I'm only assuming this b/c I'm in product management, but the Black Widow Pearl is not being released at this time because the Black Widow is selling GREAT!!!  It is a business decision not to release the Pearl, because of the Widow.  

I have no insider information on the Pearl, but I will go out on a limb here and say the Pearl will be worth the wait!

I have seen a picture of it (catalogue pic) on an overseas website - but I do not remember the URL, sorry.

Looked pretty, 50/50 bright red and black, much more contrast between the colors than the solid BW and larger color blotches.

There is also black/blue/gold BW HARV out there, lokks pretty, too!

Ah, yes, that's it. But I have seen it on an Asian website before. Looks pretty, though

I think this is a real ball pic of it (?, from Japan):

that's the correct site, $376.00 dollars for one is japan, ouch. i wish hammer would at least release the black widow spare over here to go along with the widow, that would be a killer selling combo imo.
