The Black Widow Legend uses NBT Hybrid, the same aggressive and proven cover used on the First Blood and is the first Hybrid cover used on a Black Widow ball. The aggressive polished cover, along with the most successful core in bowling history, the legendary Gas Mask core, provides an incredible move on the backend and through the pins.
For the first time ever, the Gas Mask core features Flex-Resin and Carbon-Fiber, making it one of the TOUGHEST balls in bowling!

I started bowling 4 years ago, I bought this as my 3rd ball, I used it and loved it. Don't know why I went away from it but I started using it during the winter leagues in 25', made some adjustments and suddenly I went from a 165 bowler to a 200+. I actually bought another one just in case something happens to this one. Honestly you can't go wrong with the Legend
After a 6 year vacation, I am back with a new set of toys for a new set of USBC rules. Started with the Black Widow 2.0. Rolled a 300 with it already this year, so why want another ball? Because truly the slogan is not a joke, nothing hits like a Hammer. Started my season with that and a Roto-grip RST. On paper “close” to the same ball, except in play they are not. I now have a lineup of 8 balls because this beauty was sitting on the shelf while picking up the Obsession that I had waited for. Out of the box this ball is absolutely perfect. So good my buddy got one as well, also having the Black Widow as his first new ball in 15 years. We go roll to try them out and each blow out 700+ series on the 2022 USBC city tourney patterns (lanes oiled for this as it was going on this weekend) just testing out what we purchased. I have a 209 average where he holds a 164. This is just a great ball, I threw it at least 7 different ways and it always comes back to nail the pocket so well that even when it’s off it creates the pin action to put 10 in the pit. It was a literal tough call on which ball I was more happy with. This hybrid cover stock is perfect. You can’t go wrong with this ball in your bag. I throw 19mph and my buddy throws 13.5. Pin action is the same, ball reaction is the same. I’ve converted 7 other bowlers to getting Hammer balls this year and each one has not gone back to their previous ball as they’ve raised their average and confidence with Hammer.
The widow is truly a legend, the hook is awesome and it's a perfect strike ball!!!
This ball gives anyone who throws it an unfair advantage. This ball should be banned for everyone except, of course, those who already bought one!!
This was my first ball. My pride and joy earned the name Capt. Hook because of it. Very smooth down the lane with great backend..
