The Black Widow Legend takes the proven history of the Black Widow line and takes it up a notch. This is the first ball in this line to use a hybrid coverstock. This ball is aggressive with it's polished cover and then combine it with popular Gas Mask core to provide awesome movement on the backend that carries through the pins. Color: Black/Red Pearl Reaction: Strong to mid-lane with massive backend Coverstock: NBT Hybrid Core Type: Gas Mask (includes Flex-Resin additive, Ceramix surface process, and Carbon-Fiber outer core) Factory Finish: 500, 500, 500, 1000 Abralon with Power House Factory Finish at 300 RPM Speed Radius of Gyration (RG): 2.50 Differential (Diff): .058 RG and Diff are based off of 15 lb. balls Hook Potential: High Length: Medium Recommended Lane Condition: Medium-Heavy Oil 3 year manufacturer's warranty Review: Pin placement - 1) Understand that if you are looking for a big backend move, you need to have a pin placement of 3-4" this add fails to say what the pin placement is, the one I received was 1" which is a mild backend (all things equal) I was looking for a lot more. 2) With the pin placement of 1", I will say I get a smooth backend even on heavy oil - I find that I don't have to make a lot of adjustments during 3 game league play, so seems to be fairly consistent for me as oil breaks down (I do you a different ball for spares, although probably don't need to) 3) I have not bowled for 40 years and got back into it 4 months ago, started with an league average of 167 right from the start (I did bolt 1 month prior to joining the league) After bowling 10 practice games with this ball and averaging 195 over the 10 games, I bowled 3 games in league play and rolled a 591 (easily would have had 600 series but missed a 1 pin spare in the 10th) I would say this is an excellent ball, overall and feel I will easily average over 200 ASAP with is It rolls very consistent in heavy, medium or dry lanes and leaves VERY few splits. I purchased the 16 lb ball and roll it 16.5 MPH on average. I have no negative comments about this ball, it is absolutely fantastic! Review: Hooks well with mediocre Rev rate. - Has worked for what I needed it to, being a reactive ball with good back-end action for a mid/low rev rate guy. Take some time to get used to it. Get it drilled for your hand too. Bowled only a couple weeks so far. Once I found where I needed to be with it, stayed in the pocket. Early on it's a good ball. Will add review for long term later. Update: as advertised the ball is incredibly strong, I love playing left and still nailing the pocket. Ultimately, you may need a companion ball though. If the lanes transition and you get a ton of dry by boards 5-10 this ball will start going Brooklyn. Could probably be fixed by cranking the speed of the throw, but I don't have that ability yet. ## Features - Hammer is calling to what it is, a legend - The Black Widow Legend takes the proven history of the Black Widow line and takes it up a notch - This is the first ball in this line to use a hybrid coverstock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Size | 16lbs | | Outer Material | Abralon | | Batteries Included? | No | | Brand | Hammer | | Manufacturer | Hammer | | Package Dimensions | 17.78 x 17.78 x 17.78 cm; 7.26 kg | | ASIN | B00LA57WDC | ## Images ![Hammer Black Widow Legend Bowling Ball (16lbs) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I0BKnPKfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pin placement *by M***B on 27 October 2019* 1) Understand that if you are looking for a big backend move, you need to have a pin placement of 3-4" this add fails to say what the pin placement is, the one I received was 1" which is a mild backend (all things equal) I was looking for a lot more. 2) With the pin placement of 1", I will say I get a smooth backend even on heavy oil - I find that I don't have to make a lot of adjustments during 3 game league play, so seems to be fairly consistent for me as oil breaks down (I do you a different ball for spares, although probably don't need to) 3) I have not bowled for 40 years and got back into it 4 months ago, started with an league average of 167 right from the start (I did bolt 1 month prior to joining the league) After bowling 10 practice games with this ball and averaging 195 over the 10 games, I bowled 3 games in league play and rolled a 591 (easily would have had 600 series but missed a 1 pin spare in the 10th) I would say this is an excellent ball, overall and feel I will easily average over 200 ASAP with is It rolls very consistent in heavy, medium or dry lanes and leaves VERY few splits.
