Black Widow Tour V1

The Legend Evolves!

The most iconic name in bowling has done something it’s never done before: introducing the Black Widow Tour V1, a revolutionary new version of the most dominant line in the game. For the first time in the Black Widow line, we’ve reengineered the iconic Gas Mask core by removing the flip block and reducing the differential by over 20 points to create an entirely new motion in the Widow lineup. This innovation delivers more controlled motion while still offering the unmistakable power and continuation that bowlers expect from a Widow. Paired with the best cover in the game, HK22 – Aggression Hybrid, and a smooth 3000 grit finish, the Tour V1 produces a ball motion that excels on virtually any condition, just like its predecessors. This isn’t just a new Widow—it’s a whole new level of dominance. Meet the must-have of the season.

Black Widow V1

Clean front end with smooth control on backend, good baseline ball to start or finish the day

BEST WIDOW YET

Widow series is in good hands with this one...Completely different from all the rest. This ball is smooth and continuous and not overall aggressive. Bowlers looking for a medium/heavy hook potential ball can stop looking right now because you've found it!

Hammer Widow V1 Tour - Great Control Piece

The new Hammer Widow V1 tour with the Gas Mask Core without the Puck has made this widow predictable off the breakpoint yet controllable. With the Hybrid Reactive Hk22 - Aggression Hybrid cover this ball has a smooth reaction on the friction and through the heads without loosing any of the legendary widow hit! This ball will be useable on all patterns and will be a great tournament arsenal addition.

Control Every Pattern

Hammer went above and beyond to create this new piece. Adding a huge core to a smooth cover is an amazing combination that is unique to any arsenal. Higher frictions houses are going to love this one.

A New Member of the Family

If you're looking for a smooth asymmetric piece to go along with your more angular ones then you couldn't pick a better option! From what I've seen with this ball so far, it provides the shape that of all the other Black Widows but just toned down a bit. This ball allows me to play up the lane a lot more and allows me an option to throw on slightly dryer conditions. No matter what style player you are, you can find the benefits of owning the newest member of the Black Widow family.
