Hammer Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid Review | BrunsNick

[@hotstovejer]

Glad to see you back, Nick. Your blend of skill and commentary makes all of your videos gold. Brunswick, you should be listening.

[@Bowler4Ever]

Considering it appears he was at Brunswick HQ for the recording, I'm sure they were!

[@hotstovejer]

@@Bowler4Ever doesn't hurt to just remind the higher ups.

[@brunsnick]

Appreciate it Jeremy! There will be more!

[@Bowler4Ever]

Holy crap, good to see you back. I remember watching you when people would argue online whether or not CG mattered...

He's back!

Back again, guess who's back, tell a friend.

[@TraumaER]

The legend is back in 2023? Is this real life?

[@innocentrage1]

Nick or the ball?

[@brandonbragg7832]

Welcome Back

[@jefferydaniels6717]

This ball wants some angle, period. It can fool you by being clean through the front but it's at it's best when covering some boards. For low rev/speed guys like me, it allows you to play more of the lane and it will increase your entry angles by giving you a sharp but very controllable reaction back of lane. If you pay attention, this ball will tell you exactly whats going on with the lane and whether you need to change angles or ball up/down.

[@MohamedHossam-bd3zo]

Same drilling layout for low rev bowlers ?

[@jefferydaniels6717]

@@MohamedHossam-bd3zo I use a more aggressive layout than Nick does as my local house shots have a lot of volume in the center. I typically use 40x4.75x35 which puts the mass bias pin right between my centerline and VAL line. My PAP is 4.5 straight over.

[@douglasbuck8986]

Funny....the Dark Web Hybrid does the same for me.....just ordered the 2.0.

[@allen78331]

hi nick its me ace ! i got my black widow hybrid 2.0 and i love it need to play more on this ball tho score 170.105 and 150 today was my first time using it so i have to get use it to and master it

[@brunsnick]

Awesome buddy! You da man Ace!

[@jgood1187]

I haven’t seen anyone use a grip sack in years!

[@brunsnick]

Old habits die hard. I’m a sack man.

[@SKC300]

Awesome. Been a minute. Just wondering when and why did you go back to Sarge?

[@brunsnick]

Kept having hand issues like ingrown nails and blisters with my fingers during regionals. Made the switch back in 2014 and zero hand issues since.

[@Decquilus]

Hey Nick just brought a Legend and a 2.0 Hybrid and I was curious to know while your standard layout is 60x5x20 you elected to put a 70x5.5x20 on the hybrid. What was the reason for that?

[@brunsnick]

I had drilled this ball a while before I started doing reviews and 5.5" to PAP was more typical for me to use. Kept it simple with 60x5x20 for asyms once I committed.

[@Truth65300]

Am I the weird one in expecting that Hammer would get Dynamicore in new products? Guess I don't know enough about the carbon fiber added to the Hammers

[@brunsnick]

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Carbon Fiber tech was there before DynamiCore so there was no reason to switch it.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool tech bowling bowling ball hammer black widow 2.0 hybrid with carbon fiber technology in the bowling ball more strike hitting power at time

[@BowlingDynamix]

Same sense of humor!!!!!

[@brunsnick]

Thanks Mike! 😁

[@waynehurd6602]

Watching this video again now 11 months after you released it Seemed like you slowed played this one a bit or were quite low key. When did you know it would become one of your favorites?

[@waynehurd6602]

I have this ball and it’s now my go to ball for game 3 of league

[@brunsnick]

This was my first video last year bringing the channel back. 👍🏻

[@kevinanderson9093]

Do you think it would be wise to have the 2.0 & the 2.0 hybrid in your arsenal at the same time?

[@brunsnick]

Sure. Keep the surfaces different to maintain the separation between the 2. If you’re speed dominant, having multiple asyms is a good idea.

[@VintageGameDoctor]

Hey Nick, I read in the comments you switched back to Sarge Easter due to hand issues with blisters and whatnot. What would you say the difference is in how the ball rolls and how much you can put on the ball?

[@brunsnick]

I never really saw a difference between the 2, maybe a smidge more tilt if anything. I’m pretty dominant with my middle finger and thumb so the transition to sarge was easy for me.

[@christophertrebus7492]

Hey brunsnick, Would you have any incite to the comparion of the widow 2.0 hybrid and the widow legend? How much does the hk22 change the motion compared to the NBT hyrbrid coverstock on the legend?

[@rogercarlson2330]

hey nick is this widow basically the same as the ghost?

[@brunsnick]

Same core. Different cover. HK22 Hybrid makes a lot of difference in length and flip.

[@rogercarlson2330]

@brunsnick ty, I was just going to pull the trigger on it.......then I seen some new releases.....so now it's all in the air....lol.

[@erikroy1425]

OG ball reviewer

[@ErickyBobby1]

What is the weight of this ball? I always see reviews, but nobody mentions the weight.

[@brunsnick]

15

[@mannyflores4507]

A little late…but I just got it 👍🏽

[@mireally]

For someone who plays straighter up the boards (i.e. first arrow and tends to not get right of 20 on the approach (I'm a lefty)) and have a ball speed around 15 down lane and a rev rate around 250, which ball would you prefer: The C300 Madness or the Hammer Black Widow Hybrid 2.0? Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)

[@brunsnick]

Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid 👍🏻

[@joecerar9303]

Just relax your sphincter a bit and add some Post Malone and your likes are sure to rise....LOL

[@brunsnick]

Squeezing is my A game… in all areas. 🤣

[@300x2869]

Terrible rack for lefties lol

[@brunsnick]

It was a little bad! But I got through it, couple of really weird hits, some I had to cut.
