Product Description
Improving an already incredible line isn’t easy, but we managed to do it again with the new Black Widow 3.0. Each Widow release in recent years has been more popular than the previous and has taken ball reaction to new levels, and the Black Widow 3.0 will not be an exception. The Hammer Black Widow 3.0 bowing ball is an incredible complement to the Widow 2.0 Hybrid; it has surface and tractions more in oil, making it a great ball to pull out of your bag first. The new Black Widow 3.0 is a solid reactive, much like the Black Widow 2.0, but the cover has been upgraded with a solid version of HK22 and has the same out-of-the-box surface as the Black Widow 2.0. HK22 gives the new Black Widow an advantage on medium to oily lanes, and Hammer fans will be excited when they see that it’s the traditional black and orange Hammer colors.

Best Version of the Widow Yet!
This version of the Black Widow is simply amazing. This is a benchmark to stronger benchmark type ball that can be used on a variety of lane conditions and it has the most shape down lane for me for a solid ball I’ve ever had. Most stronger solids burn up on me on medium oil and I can only throw them on heavy volume. The Widow 3.0 retains energy and shape even if it’s not sport pattern kind of volumes. I went 65 x 4 x 20 which is one of my common layouts for that shape and it is the first ball out of my bag right now every time out. https://youtube.com/shorts/nMoUPpZntZs?si=xaIMLQ9G5lcREsEP

Great bowling ball
Overall, I do like this ball, but have only thrown 3 games with it. 258 out of the gate with it (and that is with me opening the first Fram) at 748 series, so overall not bad. This ball really hits hard in the pocket.

Hammer Black Widow 3.0
Hammer didn't disappoint with the latest addition to the Widow line. The Black Widow 3.0 has the trusty Gas Mask core, but they really beefed up the cover by adding HK22 to the base cover-stock. This ball is big & strong yet not uncontrollable. For me when I compared it to my BW 2.0 it hooked about 4 & 2 more and had a little more angle thru the pins. The 3.0 doesn't eliminate the 2.0, it compliments it very well. This ball will be good on both House shots & Sport patterns. I will have a Widow triple tote at every tournament. BW 3.0, BW 2.0, & BW 2.0 Hybrid.

BW 3.0
Black widow 3.0 the strongest black widow ever made. This ball really hooks a lot for a black widow. Compared to the black widow 2.0, this BW will be a little bit earlier little and a little bit stronger on the backend. compared to the 2.0 hybrid this ball will be earlier than the 2.0 hybrid but it won’t be a strong down lane at the 2.0 hybrid. Being a solid I see this being in my bag as possibly a first ball out and you can use his ball on both house, shots and sports shots.

This ball is really REALLY good!
I have loved my two other Black Widows, 2.0 Hybrid and Ghost. This ball gives me the same motion when there is more oil or a longer pattern. I used the Black Widow 3.0 on the Deadman’s curve pattern, 44 feet. I was able to open up the lane and get the ball to arc at 7 or 8, and still hot the pocket. As a high tilt player, that is a big deal. I now have a ball that lets me have the same motion as other players. This is my first HK22 solid, and I love it!
