The coverstock makes this Widow unique!

Hammer is proud to introduce another exceptional ball to the legendary Black Widow line, the new Black Widow Mania. Each Widow has consistently complemented Hammer’s lineup and outperformed its predecessor. The coverstock makes this Widow unique and takes performance to the next level. We tested every cover we have, and the clear winner was the HK22-Cohesion Pearl cover; yes, the same cover found on last year’s top-selling Hammer Effect! Cohesion continues to elevate performance, and it’s noticeable in the way the Black Widow Mania creates length and a sharper breakpoint than even the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid. The Black Widow Mania is the perfect choice as a go-to ball after the Black Widow 3.0 or to combat any medium condition. The Gas Mask core, HK22, Cohesion, and the Black Widow name – what more do you need?

Black Widow Mania is CRAZy

This is my first Hammer Bowling Ball, with the layout 55 x 4.5 x 35.
Bowl it on 40 feet, 42 feet, 27ml, I feel is a WOW, pin action is crazy. Thinking what is my next hammer bowling ball........

Call it Mr. Clean

Since I've thrown my first shots in practice with this ball, I knew exactly how I was going to utilize it. I started by seeing some videos of how clean and even the hook/roll was on the ball and made the decision to drill this ball as my asymmetric transition ball. Right from the get go, it proved to be just that. I feel as though that this ball allows me (a lefty) the ability to stand closer to the cliff without worrying that the ball with start hooking to early. I have found that the more that I throw this ball in the soup the less that it continues but when the lanes get sparky and hot, the shape of this ball is unbeatable! Because of that, I have nicknamed this ball Mr. Clean. If you are someone who is looking to utilize this ball as a benchmark ball, then you may want to let your PSO know to drill it a little bit stronger.
