Hammer Black Widow Urethane
Hammer, as Faball, was the leader in the bowling industry for urethane technology in the 1980's. Hammer is taking that technology and merging it with the iconic Black Widow bowling ball line. The Hammer Black Widow Urethane takes the successful Gas Mask core and wraps it with a urethane coverstock. This combination offers the hook of the Black Widow with the predictability and consistency of urethane.This bowling ball is Carbon Fiber Infused! Carbon fiber is one of the toughest materials on earth. Hammer decided to add this material to the inner core of this ball for added strength and durability allowing them to offer an incredible 3 year warranty.

The Gauntlet will be more aggressive considering it is a High Performance ball whereas the Black Widow Urethane is a Mid Performance ball and it will not give you as much hitting power.

Answer:
I'm convinced the Hammer Blue is best for dry lanes. I say this because my son has the purple urethane, the black widow urethane, the widow spare and the blue urethane. He is a very good two handed lefty. Averages 214 at the age of 14. The Widow Spare is WAY stronger than the blue. Of course he has a high rev rate. The black widow urethane is by far the strongest ball. The blue is by far the most controllable and the smoothest throughout the three phases of ball motion. Having said that the purple and blue can become much more aggressive depending on layout. I know as I work in a pro shop. If you want the blue urethane to be as controllable as I've mentioned you may want to consider 6 3/4 Pin to PAP while not creating any side weight requiring a weight hole especially if you drill the weight hole closer to the thumb on the Y axis. 3 3/8 pin to pap vs 6 3/4 pin to pap on the purple results in a MAJOR change in ball motion. I know because I've done both and my son has thrown both. Layout will absolutely have as much to do with ball motion as cover with the Blue and Purple and I'm sure the same applies to the black widow urethane. The widow plastic with that huge core can be totally manipulated by layout changes. My son's hooks a lot even on fresh oil. Don't be deceived by the plastic cover. That ball will definitely cover some boards.

Question:
I have a low ball speed and low rev rate. I like to swing the ball. What would be a good lay out on this ball?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Your best option would be to talk to your local proshop driller and explain what you want the ball to do. The ball out of the box is a duller finished ball made to read earlier on the lane. The drilling options will be able to tweak this only a small amount but there may be a pattern that would better help the ball to fit your style and your local proshop will know how to drill this.

Question:
I am currently bowling on a fairly short oil pattern, but it's basically a reverse block. The middle 8-10 boards are oily and the outer 4-5 boards are oily from 5 to 15 are dry. I have a medium rev rate, average ball speed of 14.5-14.8. Will this ball work for me, without losing hit once entering the pocket?

Question:
How is the Black Widow compared to my old LT-48
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Black Widow Urethane will be more aggressive than the LT-48, for the Black Widow Urethane is an upper mid performance ball and the LT-48 is only a mid performance ball.
