WE DID IT AGAIN!
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 Black Widow 3.0 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.

Widow!
I’ve been looking for a big solid ball for the top of my bag that don’t just hook early and die off. This widow 3.0 is just that. Hammer went back to its roots with the color scheme and the shelf appeal is on point with the legendary black and orange. These colors are visually pleasing rolling down the lane as well. The hk22 aggression solid coverstock really lets this ball dig in and slow down. It’s great to see a big ball dig in the oil and not bleed off on the back end making it easy to throw. The 3.0 fits in the widow lineup with ease making it a go to for heavier oil conditions when your 2.0 hybrid just won’t see the lane early enough.

Hammer Black Widow 3.0
I’m a huge fan of the Widow line and the 3.0 does not disappoint. This is a benchmark to stronger benchmark type ball that can be used on a variety of lane conditions and it has a lot of shape down lane for me for a solid ball. 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. Out of the box the comments were on how early and smooth the 3.0 was on the lane. It struck quite a bit. As it lane shined it became longer and a lot more angular but still strikes quite a bit. The 3.0 is a great compliment to the Widow 2.0 Hybrid for times where you need something with a bit more teeth in the oil.

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

Black Widow Baby!
Heavy oil, cliff blend, dry, whatever you need this ball has you covered! Out of box went 788, 794, 770. Standard 60x4x20 drill that I use for all my layouts, and this really turned into that ball that I take with me everywhere. I think its much much cleaner through the front, but it will not let you down off the spot! Last week during league we had 5 of these going down the lane , all shapes and bowler types! Huge Hit Hammer!

Widow 3.0
No disappointment here at all! I haven’t always matched up with this core but this one does everything I want to see. Gets through the fronts and picks up in the midlane and never looses that continuation through the pins. Predictable shape and versatile. Definitely goin to have a few of these. Don’t miss out on this one

3.0
I drilled mine 30 X 4 X 55. The Hammer Black Widow 3.0 perfectly complements my Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid. The HK-22 cover stock with Aggression Solid additives has created the ideal option for heavy oil lane conditions. This ball does not quit down the lane and will be an excellent benchmark piece for me. The Black Widow line is incredible; you will not want to miss out on this 3.0.

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.
