The ball had a red pin.  It was a widow.  I also bet that he may even have put a little white logo paint on it to make the hammer logo stand out on TV.   You could see the Hammer, but not the Widow.

Right handers struggles for the most part this week, and even last week. Brad did well after the lanes were broke down a little during matchplay. However, he didn't have enough traffic on the right side to break the lanes down. That is why he struggled. Been the story of the tour since they returned from the break.

I wonder how much influence the ball company has on what there throwing during the finals?

Boss of the Texas Syndicate



Charles-  I wasn't there so I don't know first hand, but even Norm suggested on the show that there was plenty of time to "create" a shot, and have it hold up for 1 player.    

There are a couple ways to "create" a shot-   VERY dull ball rolled out to create dry boards, or plastic rolled inside your intended strike line to create hold.    

I don't know how BA could possibly have created 2 different looks on 2 lanes, so bad, that he had to throw 2 different balls, and 2 different lines.    

I don't think he helped the Big B out with any sales this week.  OUCH.
