~*The Break VS The Black Widow VIDEO COMPARISON!*~
« on: September 30, 2007, 02:32:16 PM »
Here ya go folks,

I have had a TON of requests to compare the Black Widow and The Break from 900 Global in video form

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8o6iwWtWpc

My thoughts:

I can only imagine the controversy this is going to cause  In the end NO ONE can take away the success of the Black Widow...It is one of the best balls ever made in my eyes.  But after using THE BREAK for a few weeks now, i have noticed that it has a bit more continuation and can handle a little more oil than Widow can.  Does that make it better than the widow?  I dont know thats for you to decide...they both have their place in my eyes...let the debate begin!

Needless to say for 900 Global to get a reaction close to if not stronger than one of the most recently successful bowling balls for their first release, i say BRAVO to them...Great Job Guys!

Disclamer: These are my resuts with these two balls...you may have different results...and i have never claimed to be the most accurate bowler in the world, but i feel i gave both balls a fair look in the video....Thanks for watching!

Infinite One gets much less length, with a more arcy backend reaction. The Break is definitely angular, like a Black Widow on steroids.

Bar...your results are exactly what I've seen comparing my Break and BW (both drilled the same / same surface prep).

great video! Really nice to see an un-biased comparison of a couple balls. Funny how such a little difference in reaction can make such a huge difference in the type of shot you've got to play isn't it? Both are great balls, and again, thank you for the comparison!

Matt...Take a closer look, this is all about how good the The Break is and how much better then it is from the Widow.

Why do you think that this is posted in HERE...and NOT the Hammer forum ?

Also, check the qoute :
Needless to say for 900 Global to get a reaction close to if not stronger than one of the most recently successful bowling balls for their first release, i say BRAVO to them...Great Job Guys!

What I don't get is that Britton gets free gear from both these compaines, so why would he even make this kinda video and IMO, bite the hand that feeds him and make the Widow look bad...?

Also, this isnt even posted on the videoballreviews website, just on good 'ole youtube. Can'y put a video bashing a ball your suppose to make look good (Widow) on the actual site...

call me out all you want...i will put it up on my site later today when i get home from work

and it is now being posted in the hammer forum...i posted it here because thats where the discussion was, in the "other" forum

i have no agenda on this one...there was a discussion about this comparison so i made a video of it...

both are great balls, and what i said before was true...the fact that they got close to one of the BEST balls i have ever thrown as far as reaction is great for them...

i have had 3 black widows and put a hundred games on the first two before i retired them....i love that ball

no biting the hand that feeds...if there is a discussion of the break vrs "insert ball here" i will attempt to do the comparison if i have the ball...and i will make it as fair as possible

302- What is the matter we can't brag about how much better our equipment is in our forum without someone attacking us because it happens to be a hammer ball it reacts better than.  Don't forget what is posted in this forum under 900Global is ours.  Whether he wants to put it in the Hammer forum or on his site he can do whatever he wants.  Video is the proof on the different reactions.  I don't understand the complaints whether it be unbiased or not.  If he is getting the balls free from the companies so what.  He does something most people don't have time to do.  He records ball reactions for people to see instead of reading about.

Great comparison Britton.

Nice video. Great job Britton!

It's very helpful to see comparison videos, which helps bowlers make wise choices when deciding on balls to purchase for their arsenals. I am looking for a benchmark ball, and I am intrigued with The Break. From what I saw from the video; The Break seems slightly stronger than the BW.

Does anyone know how much a Break is going for?

Never said the vodeos were bad...There pretty good and lengthy. Actually all of his videos are good....Except this one more or less.

This vid shows he is or was biased making this vid toward Hammer and the BW.

All I'm saying is if hes going to do video ball reviews, its better to NOT do videos comparing balls from different companies in the same video. Looks bad and biased since this went right to this forum and nowhere else (at first).

What I'm saying Britton is that you got a seperate vid of The Break a seperate vid of the Black Widow on your site. Just let people watch them and make there own conclusions.

Imagine if a big internet proshop like Buddies did a vid like this...Theres a reason they don't do it, just a little food for thought

I can't put these two quotes together and still call the BW one of the best ever.  I don't see how one of the best balls ever made can possibly be retired (by necessity or otherwise) after only 100 games.  300-500 games, now you've got a ball that's worth calling "one of the best ever".

i could understand your point if he sold balls, but he doesnt.  People asked for it and he brought it.  its not like he is on someones payroll, if hammer gets upset so be it, nobody has ever said that the BW was a bad ball.  Lets face it, that ball is over a year old now, they sold a gazillion of them, do think hammer really cares now?? people will still continue to buy their products, just now some may choose the break over that particular ball at this point.  hammer was first now global has made a comparable if not better release.  its just business, he is not endorsing just doing a taste test.  i dont think hammer should be too concerned over such a small company, if they are i guess global is doing a good job.

As he said i am on no-ones payroll...i am supplying everyone with an unbiased opinion of both balls...i have friends at both hammer and global so i was not playing favorites...

I dont get paid to do these videos...sure i get lots free equipment and accessories, which is a form of payment...some may say, well you can sell those balls to make a profit...i make it a policy to not sell anything i got for free until it is discontinued...if i paid for it on the otherhand, that would be a different story...

SO that being said why should i be biased towards one company and not another...all the companies i do work for treat me very well, i wouldnt do anything to screw that up...i will be happy to accomidate some requests for other inter-company comparisons if a discussion arrises and i feel the need for one...and all companies will get a fair chance, the better ball will show through....
