For those of you that have had great success with the Black Widow, How is your drilled?

I ask this question because I have never had great success with asymmetrical bowling balls.  I know layouts on very critical on asymmetrical balls compared to symmetrical.

So what layout do you have on your BW?

Another question: What kind of lane pattern do you use your BW on the most?  House shot or sport pattern or some other type of difficult pattern?

chitown, I don't have a B/W myself, but drilled three for different folks.

1. Pin/PAP 4" just above and right of ring, mb 2 7/8 right of thumb and approximately 1/8 inch below center of thumb. The first 3 games he bowled he averaged 204. Granted the first game, he said, was a 160 something, the rest were much better. He said it took him a while to get used to the backend and had to find a different line than we usually used.

2. Pin/PAP 4 1/4 above ring, almost centered above, MB 3 1/8 right of thumb just a hair above center thumb. He called and said it was the best ball he'd thrown in years. He didn't say what he averaged, but he was bowling tonight in league, so I'll probably hear about it on Sunday.

3. Pin/Pap 5 1/8 pin above bridge almost centered. MB 2 7/8 right of thumb and maybe 1/8 below center thumb. He shot 21 games the first day, said he averaged over 201 but after 18 games his thumb was sore so he didn't say what he shot those last few. He's ordered another and we'll be talking a different drill on Sunday.

All I can say, those I have done/seen love the ball, even MORE than you do your Dooms ! ( if that is possible! )

I was going to drill mine, but had a relasp of the shoulder separation and cracked my elbow, so I'm probably out for most of the season, so why waste a great ball. Already have it sold, I think.

Hope yours does as well as those I have talked to and others as well.

RH drilled stack, 15# with 2" pin. Pin just aboved ring finger and mass bias about 2 inches from thumb at about 4 o'clock. No weight hole.

3 year old AMF synthetic oiled heavy from 6 to 6 to about 20 feet and buffed to 40. Basically an easy shot especially for stokers who play near the channels.

3 holes of fun!!

Pin 6" from PAP and 4" above center line, MB at 60-Degrees, with a small deep weight hole on my axis...I left the ball in box condition.

This ball is really unique in that a good number of asymmetric balls will stand up too soon on not be continous for me with pins beyond 5" from my PAP.  The black widow is different for me in the respect and I would have never drilled it this way if it wasn't for the advice of a friend on Hammer's staff.
