COMMENTS
The Black Widow Tour V1 is a new addition to the low diff collection. Balls with the low diff have become quite popular over the last couple years as they provide additional control that high rev players look for. Although I’m not a high rev guy, this ball still has a place in my bag when the lanes begin to get dry. On the broken down Titanium pattern, I was able to move left and get the ball to the friction easily. When the Tour V1 saw that friction, it made a surprisingly strong move to the pocket and gave me some nice hold as well. On the house shot, I had to stay in the dry. The ball got good length and made a sweeping move into the pins with excellent hitting power. For my style, this ball does not like oil, but is great in later games.
Thanks for reading this review. Good bowling to all!
