Rev-Dominant Ball Review: Hammer Black Widow 3.0
Review
At 400+rpm and 15mph this ball needs some fresh oil. It’s very strong and can be used on a fresh condition as the first ball out of your bag. It has a strong reaction on the backend without being too jumpy. It has continuation without blowing too hard through the rack. It’s a good ball up from the Black Widow Hybrid 2.0, Black Widow 2.0, or a Back Widow Ghost. It sports Brunswicks new HK-22 Coverstock which gives this solid some pop in the backend.
The ball looks great, many solid reactives bowling balls are usually also solid in color. This ball at least shows some of Hammer’s Iconic Orange highlighting.
