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?

First Hammer Black Widow I have Ever thrown…..and WOW!!!
Out of all of the balls I have been blessed to throw as an ambassador for Brunswick, one line of balls I have never thrown….and that line was the Black Widow line. I wasn’t that I didn’t like them, I just never tried one because each time they came out, they just didn’t fit in my arsenal. Now, I am SO glad I took the leap and drilled up the new Hammer Black Widow Mania! Having never thrown a Black Widow, I wanted to see what made this ball so different. The HK22-Cohesion Pearl coverstock which is the same cover on the Hammer Effect which I ABSOLUTELY, so I wanted to put a 40x5x75 layout in this ball to maximize its full ball motion and give the ball continuous and predictable ball motion on any lane condition…AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! The Black Widow Mania simply an INCREDIBLE bowling ball! The ball control and predictability support all the reviews and hype I have heard for years about the Black Widow line for years. This ball is just unreal. Like the Hammer Effect and if I can be so bold….I believe we have the 2025 Ball of the Year in the Hammer Black Widow Mania!!!

Widow Mania
Who doesn’t love a Widow? This one might just be my favorite of all. Easily gets through the fronts and with that HK22-Cohesion what more could you ask for. A great go to ball after the Widow 3.0. Easily the cleanest Widow I’ve thrown and really gets around the corner at the end of the pattern

Hammer Black Widow Mania
Black Widow Pink on steroids. The Black Widow Mania is clean through the front part of the lane and strong down lane. The HK22 with Cohesion pearl cover stock matches up great with the Gas Mask core. Early entry for ball of the year. The cobalt & black accented with the pink logo pass the eye test for sure.

Hammer Black Widow Mania
The Black Widow Mania is going to be a HOT seller in the bowling world for 2025!! I find it to be very easy to get through the front and very responsive in the back. So much versatility and control. The color of this new piece catches the eye immediately. Best used on medium to heavy oil patterns. Don't sleep on this gem!!

Another great Widow!
I love this ball. It’s cleaner than the Black Widow 3.0, but more bite on the back. The HK22 - Cohesion Pearl cover gives this ball more back-end motion than the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid. I have used it on both house and sport patterns, and it looks great on both. This ball works best in heavy to medium oil.
