The Legend Evolves!
The most iconic name in bowling has done something it’s never done before: introducing the Black Widow Tour V1, a revolutionary new version of the most dominant line in the game. For the first time in the Black Widow line, we’ve reengineered the iconic Gas Mask core by removing the flip block and reducing the differential by over 20 points to create an entirely new motion in the Widow lineup. This innovation delivers more controlled motion while still offering the unmistakable power and continuation that bowlers expect from a Widow. Paired with the best cover in the game, HK22 – Aggression Hybrid, and a smooth 3000 grit finish, the Tour V1 produces a ball motion that excels on virtually any condition, just like its predecessors. This isn’t just a new Widow—it’s a whole new level of dominance. Meet the must-have of the season.

Hammer Tour Line is in GREAT hands, with the Black Widow Tour V1!!!
The first ever Black Widow I threw was the Black Widow Mania. I just never threw them because at the time, the Widows just did not fit in my arsenal. Now, I have a steady arsenal of Black Widow line balls in my bag. Here is my review of the new Black Widow Tour V1. The best way to describe this ball is by comparing this ball to two other hammer balls I’ve thoroughly enjoyed throwing, and those are the Hammer Effect Tour and the Envy Tour. The Effect was exceptionally smoot and very predictable. The new Black Widow Tour V1 in my opinion is very similar in ball shape and motion, but much cleaner through the front parts of the lanes. The new Black Widow Tour V1 has a modified asymmetric Gas Mask core (Widow Gas Mask Low Diff Core without the flip block on top) wrapped in the HK-22 Aggression Hybrid coverstock used on the Widow 2.0 Hybrid. The Black Widow Tour V1 has a 55x4x30 layout, but I also altered the surface on this ball. What I did was take some of the rubbing compound shine off the ball to make the ball shape a little sooner in the mid-lanes. For me, this ball is best used on medium lane conditions or even when backends are very strong. This ball is clean through the fronts and very strong and controllable off the spot. This ball is also one of those balls which are for bowlers of all averages, styles and speeds. If you are a fan of the Black Widow line, this ball will not disappoint. The new Black Widow Tour V1 is available at your local pro shop!

Best Widow I have rolled!
I have never really been a huge fan of the gas mask core. I simply don't match up well with it. But with the flip block removed, the lower diff numbers give me a shape I was desperately needing in my bag. I drilled mine 35 x 4 x 65 (so it's pin down). It revs up early but doesn't seem to burn off and still gets through the pins nicely. I can see myself going to this when the pattern gets weird and I need some control.
