The Hammer Black Widow series of balls is designed to provide length and aggressive
backend reaction for a wide variety of bowling styles. Overall, bowlers can expect
to see excellent all-purpose ball motion with more entry angle to the pocket and
improved hitting power. The Black Widow series features the High Mass Bias Gas
Mask core with added flip block for enhanced drilling versatility. Since the Black
Widow series features a High Mass Bias core, the balls provide excellent drilling
versatility by placing the pin and mass bias in different configurations. When
drilling a High Mass Bias ball, the placement of the Mass Bias will have a significant
impact on changing the breakpoint shape and overall ball motion.
Tuning Ball Motion:
The coverstocks used on the Hammer Black Widow series will provide good length
and strong backend reaction. However, it is important to keep in mind that all
bowlers have different needs. The Black Widow coverstock can easily be sanded
to a rougher grit for stronger hook motion in oil or polished for more length,
more aggressive breakpoint and less total hook. Please consult your pro shop operator
for additional assistance in tuning ball motion.
Ball Care:
It is imperative to maintain your new Hammer Black Widow by cleaning the coverstock
immediately after each bowling session using bowling ball cleaning products designed
for reactive balls. Hammer highly recommends powerhouse energizer Ball Cleaner
applied with a mico-fiber towel to remove the dirt and oil from the surface of
the ball.
