Hammer Black Widow Ghost Pearl | Bowling Ball Review | Ft. MITCH HUPÉ

[@NDBowlTV]

Really like this type of review. Enjoyed the way Mitch talked his way through the moves and what he thought of the reaction of each piece in different parts of the lane. Great work.

[@frontcamera1226]

I agree! Ball reviewers should study this video and learn from it. Throwing different bowling balls from the same spot is really the only way a viewer can appreciate what the new ball is doing. Ball is not for my game but this was the best review I have ever seen. Thanks Mitch

[@seniorxj2931]

AGREED 💯

[@GracieGarage]

Mitch is now my favorite PBA bowler. He has such a relaxed style. Old school. And, he does a tremendous ball review. He really explains the ball reaction in an informative way. The only thing I can not believe. How come Mitch has not won a PBA title? He is that good!

[@jrproshop]

Just takes time, he’ll get there !!

[@alexanderbreen4010]

Ok guys… you got Mitch out to get the Ghost reviewed… now I want to see the other Canadian do a ball review for my Storm balls! Get Frankie out there!

[@NubsGetDubs]

Frankie is a 🐐

[@brianjones2663]

I've only been bowling for 4 years now. I've owned 5 widows. The original Legend the Pink pearl the Platinum overseas ball which the ghost is just a rebrand of. Also the legend remake. And MY FAVORITE ball ever the Black window 2.0 the ball I shot my first 300 with

[@newsense6608]

The House!! This is an awesome collab with Mitch!

[@redcat5697]

Wow this is by far one of the best reviews I have ever seen. More please, Mitch is a great addition to the team 👏. I had the OG widow in the 90s and never gave it much chance, sold it to a friend and he shot 300 with it 2 weeks later. Recently purchased a purple hammer 🔨 second hammer ball ever.

[@anthonyrea2226]

Hows the purple hammer?

[@DavidMendoza-lb7gc]

Guys this is my favorite bowling no joke I would love to see him in more future videos

[@yournightmareracing1754]

Best review of a ball I can remember ever seeing.

[@jeremysmith8033]

Widow 2.0 has been incredible for me. It's a house shot killer but also looked fantastic at the open championships on the team pattern.

[@jeffhunter9311]

Jeremy Pin Up or Down?

[@jeremysmith8033]

@@jeffhunter9311 Pin up. Fantastic ball

[@christopherforbes5195]

Gotta say, I love my BW Legend… shot my first 300 with that ball, great motion down the lane for someone like me with loft and low speed (14-15mph)

[@papacurlydavis007]

Always wanted an original widow when I was bowling juniors back in the day. Now I love my widow 2.0 and will be picking up this widow ghost for sure.

[@bibleseven7]

This is a great ball; and I love the way Mitch bowls!

[@jeffreyfahie1502]

My favorite ball ever is the Black Widow Pearl. I felt like I could throw it anywhere from anywhere and have it strike. I have the 2.0 now and its nice but I'm considering picking the Ghost up as well.

[@Fluffyguy958]

I remember watching Mitch throw the Pink Widow before its release when he was at thunderbowl. My friends and I were all in awe from how many messengers he was throwing

[@robertgreene8441]

To m.h's question, I've owned and thrown a huge percentage of the widow line. It's by far my all time favorite line ever made. The bite and limited are up there, but all time favorite has to be the dark legend(purple and black). I had 7 of them over time. The ball was just absolutely amazing

[@leegreenontheair2285]

So far I only have 2 I just got the Ghost Pearl yesterday I love it, I also have the Black Widow Urethane(Black) I’m planning on getting the 2.0 and the overseas Hybrid

[@xX_Get_Busy_Xx]

Still throw my black widow bite to this day and still love it. Over 10 years that ball has never failed me

[@colinmccann221]

I've had three widows. Got the first and favorite in 2008 the black widow. That one I shot my first 300 with it when I was 18. I now have a pin down red legend and a pin up pink. The red one has become more of a situational piece for me, and the pink I just adore. It works so well on the wood lanes I bowl on every week.

[@LuisNapoles]

Mitcho 😂😂 love the name!

[@jrproshop]

We couldn't stop laughing

[@nygiantswinner]

Black/Gold is my favorite. It rolls smooth, and is predictable. Good content as always!

[@robertbockheim1937]

My favorite black widow was the original black widow pearl. I really like the review showing a couple of different layouts and a good comparison ball too.

[@PygmyBBQ]

Incredible video! More comprehensive as usual with the more thorough explanations. Also appreciate adding a second pattern for comparison. Mitch is awesome on camera, well spoken, and appears to be very comfortable.

[@sethc5661]

Scrolling through KZbin, see Mitch, think new House Bowling video, but notice graphics on thunbnail distinctly JR ProShop, and for a second, before reading the title, my brain broke a little bit :)

[@luminayre6227]

I've owned the original Black Widow (1.0), Black Widow Bite, and the newer Black Widow (2.0). My favorite has always been the Black Widow Bite. I used it on wooden lanes before they were converted to synthetic and that ball always found the pocket for me.

[@bryanelman5650]

I've had the original widow pearl and I currently have the black widow gold and I love my Gold. The ghost looks awesome so will likely buy one in a few months

[@desimonerichardson9090]

Mine is the black widow black n gold. I can play any line with that ball, very versatile. Great ball!

[@tusk1_]

In response to your question: I have a black widow urethane and this ghost pearl as a combo. You're absolutely right about not throwing it too fast. Any time I went over 15mph I ended up leaving quite a few 10 pins. Other than that, mine is pin up and it was hitting 5-6 strikes in a row very regularly. This ball is a joy to throw.

[@williekelty5601]

Love it...THAT DUDE is ON IT like you ALL ARE!!! ;)

[@tusk1_]

great work on the review. so nice to see more love put into the design and filming quality, and Mitch.

[@brianm.5822]

Huge fan of Mitch, class act……killer form and release!

[@jeffklockowskisr8377]

Nice comparison of the pin up and pin down I liked the way you mixed it up . Great video !

[@xrilander]

Just started bowling again after a 15 year hiatus. Thought I`d still use my 16lb NuLine from back in the day on the league I joined. It USED to have incredible back end, and I could cut it across all boards for a 7 pickup. I also bowled my one and only 300 league game with it in 2001. WOW, lane conditions today have sure changed, and the ball was now a dud, with hardly any reaction. A new 15 lb mild pin high Widow Legend was better, but still lacked the snap at the backend. Just got a 2.0 two weeks ago, drilled aggressively pin high, and it reacts much later now, BUT the 10 pin is now a thorn in my side, with it hooking at the last second, and a miss every time. I hardly ever missed with the NuLine. Current high scores/series 226 with both the Legend and 2.0, a 617 with the Legend, a 589 with the 2.0. Looking for a last second hook at the back end, like my old NuLine. Is that even possible with today`s balls and lane conditions? My average was around 180 back in the day, with plenty of 240+ games. I`m now struggling in the mid 160`s after 39 games. Is this ball my answer???

[@alittlefield06]

Always love watching Barks roll some of the Hammer stuff. But, this was a nice change up. I have been in the market for a new ball, and have recently gone to speak with my PSO, which after looking at what I have, we have decided on ordering the Widow Ghost. I haven't ever had a pearl Black Widow, but I did have two of the original Black Widows, and I have always loved the roll that the core creates. I have been wanting to try a pearl Black Widow ever since the first Widow Pearl came out, and I am really looking forward to getting the opportunity!

[@TraumaRider]

Still Have the Pink, The Black, and Dark Legend Widows....Love them!

[@flippperboy]

I have been waiting for a ball review from Mitch on the House. Thanks. He is good at explaining too. Pink widow is good. As much as Mitch can explain what he observes I am shocked he does not have a couple titles by now.

[@ericneff4842]

Currently rolling with the new Legend. I love the pink and the 2.0 between the three I can play on most nights and shuffle from solid 2.0 to hybrid Legend to the pink as the lanes transition.

[@scottkane9983]

Great Review Mitch! I am not impressed with a lot of reviews on balls, but I actually got a great idea of how this ball really reacts. Keep them coming!

[@GhostofKaiser]

Had the Assassin (incredible ball) & the Pink (also incredible). Ghost is definitely on my list to pick up, once shops can actually get them.

[@jax4654]

You could always preorder and get it shipped on release day

[@rkh1116]

Bought a used Pink Widow(my first Hammer), got it redrilled and used it the first time in league last night. Great ball! Definitely won't be the last Widow I have drilled!

[@ThePacerTest]

I bought the ghost after watching this video and then several others and also seeing how other people throw it similar to my throw. I cannot wait to up my pincount after drilling it.

[@jojobeanz4129]

The House in the House... JR Pro Shop House that is. Cool video and great Collab. Had a Black Widow Black and Gold. Good ball though it cracked and had to trash it unfortunately

[@thebigeasy8609]

Who doesn't love them some Mr. Mitch Hupe' That being said, I miss my man Barks chucking those Hammers down the lane. I'm a lefty so I'm just a tad biased. So cool seeing Mitch on here. NICE! BW 2.0 is my fav.

[@winsleypelayo4022]

mitch did a great review! ive never owned a widow ball but this pin down ghost is looking pretty good. really interesting how the pin down was reading compared to the pin up

[@blakeschneider3804]

My sister owned the widow assassin and the gold, I have the ghost and love it

[@ChipEdwards82]

Yeah great review. Would love to see you do an instructional slow mo vid on that release. Such a smooth shot. Looks like you're just effortlessly floating that ball through the oil.

[@daniellytle1989]

I currently own the black widow 2.0. I love the ball just watching reviews to find something a little less aggressive.

[@williamcambra2341]

Damn The House member Mitch awesome guest hopefully see more of him vids to come. But my favorite is Black Widow legend. Can't wait til I get this new ghost.

[@seansharbnow8695]

I had the original red and black widow pearl absolutely loved it and I already pre ordered the ghost

[@voidgaming5397]

The black widow sting. The only widow i owned and loved it. Still have it too.

[@TraumaER]

I own and still own the original Black Widow. I averaged over 240 in leagues with it the year it came out. However, with the new 'weight hole is illegal' situation, the ball just doesn't look the same anymore. Tried using it in league and in practice and looks more like a mid to bottom-tier ball.

[@waynehudler2642]

Original Black Widow, Black Widow Pearl, and Black Widow Assassin. My fave was the orginal BWP. The Ghost looks great!!

[@keeganmier]

I have had an OG Widow, Pink Widow, and a 2.0, and the 2.0 has been my favorite by far. I am even ordering another to go with my ghost.

[@ms.g3012]

I have the black and gold now but always been a fan of the original. Just ordered the ghost I can't wait to try it.

[@dfresh933]

I just recieved this ball today. With the pin down layout. Holy Crap! It rolls so hard! 😵 Sooooo Gooood! Thx Mitch and JR crue for this review.

[@BigHurt24]

Favorite Widow was the OG Widow. The Legend, BW Bite, and BW Pink were very good as well.

[@frontcamera1226]

The 7 - 10 King! Alright!

[@nakapaa]

Mitch Hupe's form is great!

[@jrproshop]

One of the best in the world

[@dfresh933]

Had the Widow Bite, good ball. That pin down on the Ghost is looking nice.

[@hehehehe37]

bowled my first 300 with the original and have had the gold one for a couple months and it is better for me

[@edgehead62888]

The original Black Widow solid. That was my favorite all time ball, I rolled my best game and best series ever with it.

[@TampaCardGuy]

WE LOVE MITCH!! Let’s gooo

[@wolfpack97LD]

I never owned a black widow ball but black widow ghost pearl will probably be my first black widow I plan on getting it looks really cool

[@garrettfussell1724]

First hammer ball and one of the first bowling balls I ever owned was a 14 lb widow pink. I even bought a 16 lb when I went up in weight. I sold it bc I rarely used it due to the strength on the house shot I played. I really regret selling it now that I understand the game even more and started playing tournaments

[@richr115]

Like how clean it comes off your hand. Had the OG Widow but nothing new since. Think that Ghost will do nicely for the upcoming season. Great video. Subscribing

[@krystaladame5321]

Just now getting back into bowling after about 2 years I had the pink undrilled in a box waiting.. But finally! She's out on the lanes and is a beast! I also have a taboo black, and a Legend. 👍 This was a great review video! I keep watching it because for the first time the terminally is understandable! So great!

[@CJBERMUDEZ23]

i have the red widow pearl and its still used in my setup to this day. its seen better days which is why i needed an upgrade. my girl surprised me for my birthday with the ghost. i cant wait to have it drilled today and see what it can do. nice vid mitch.

[@MMAFAN66]

I had the widow bite....and I threw 4 300's that season.....then blew out both knees at work...just getting ready to come back

[@Cdcd4393]

I have Window 2.0 it's my best ball and my favorite ball. After watching this that ghost looks nice

[@artanderson3412]

just got my 2.0 but probably my fav widow ball so far is the widow sting

[@bradlittlejohn5273]

Wow.. this one has me thinking of there is room in a bag for both a pin down and pin up version. Mitch's layout on the 2.0 and the pin-up Ghost Pearl are exactly how I have my 2.0 and BW Platinum Silver laid out. Would there be enough room with those, urethane, a pin down GB4 and a Web Tour Hybrid Edition in the same bag..... And right now, I'm stuck on my favorite Widow: BW Platinum Silver, and the BW Purple Pearl Urethane. Those two are absolute beasts.

[@brianm6117]

I threw the ghost pearl for a few frames last week. Liked how it rolled, but not really shopping for a new ball right now. My buddy has one getting drilled (hopefully over this weekend so he can use it Monday night) Also threw a friend's Black Widow 2.0 for the second time last night. Lanes were burnt up by that point so I wasn't even close to the pocket, but I like it too. I already have 3 other solids so its another one I'm not really looking at right now either.

[@BoaJaz]

I have the Gold with a little but of surface on it and I love it. Best game was a 298, so close!

[@bubbacarter7886]

I've had the Widow Gold, and now the Widow 2.0, so I'm sure I'll be getting the Ghost. I really like the way Mitch had the pin down Ghost looking, but may just go with the same drilling I have on the 2.0. Jonsing to get the Ghost asasp!!

[@Yagayee]

He is so good at repeating shots!!

[@rodneyhankins6417]

The Hammer Pink is my favorite so far.

[@cameronwinter6103]

i currently have a pink, 2.0, and pearl...love my pink, 500+ games on it. just ordered ghost pearl and viz-a-ball to try them out

[@FalcoODonnell]

I've only had one Widow ball ever: the Assassin. Recently had to retire it because of a nasty crack on the finger holes. (RIP) It made me fall in love with Hammer. Thinking about getting this or 2.0 despite a high-friction House Shot and low revs, lower-med. speed release.

[@danwaltz7527]

Widow legend is a great ball. I have the solid, the pink, the blue real monster. Getting the ghost. Still love the legend the most. Just got back into bowling and for now the hybrid covers work well left handed. Haven't tried them with my dominant right

[@justinc5998]

OG Black Widow, loved the way it rolled for me...just wish the coverstock would've lasted longer, they wore out too fast.

[@deneiselockridge7024]

I really appreciate this video, now I know how I want my Ghost drilled. Plus moving further to the left with both balls. My next purchase will be a spare bowl.

[@skwira000]

I have thrown the original Black Widow, Jet Black Taboo, and Widow 2.0. All 3 balls were exactly the same. But the bowling alley has now gotten a little dryer and I need this Ghost ball now. I still am going to have to alter my delivery, but having the pearl in there will be helpful.

[@quietguy5468]

I have had the Black Widow Assassin and BW Pink. Like both.

[@jordanmalone5796]

Just got this ball today 2 handed it bites hard I love it ❤️

[@joeanderson9267]

I got the Black Widow Legend! Love it!

[@rileypetri-rose1015]

I've got a bubble gum ball myself. I won my first tournament with that ball. Super versatile. Pink widow has gotta be my favorite

[@badguykp3000]

i’m a beginner and i wanted this ball sooo bad but i dug deeper into you guys’ reviews and went with the magenta rhino….hopefully i’ll feel confident enough soon to get this ball! love the channel

[@williekelty5601]

I pitch the Purple Widow and the Hybrid Widow overseas and will get a Ghost and go Pin Down with it, but I love Storms as well...the Proton, Dual Lock, iQ Tour Sapphire ;) and I have the Mo Space ball for spares if I'm not rolling the Purple Hammer :)

[@bagger3002]

I had a couple OG Widows, a couple Widow Bites, Widow Assassin, Blue Silver Taboo, and a Pink Widow. The OG and Bite were by far my favorites. I shot a couple 300's with both. I liked the Assassin but I hated the Taboo and the Pink. The pink was so over/under for me no matter what I did to the surface and that's what scares me about the Ghost, I don't know why I haven't drilled up a 2.0. lol

[@pimpdrew719]

Been using the black widow 2.0 for league and i love it. Just shot my first 700 series with a 735. All of my 600 series have been with the widow. Have a gb4 and a phase 3 but they don’t really do the trick in league for my play style. More of a tweaner. May pick this to try for the second half of the season. Great video as always!

[@jakedublya15]

Awesome review. My favorite black widow and one I still use is the sting.

[@christopherturner8768]

Had the black widow urethane, loved that ball

[@FrekinSmart]

I owned the black taboo and og widow pearl. I unfortunately didn't match up super well with them but my dad was able to take that pearl to a couple 800s after i gave it to him lolll

[@donm6578]

This past Friday someone on our league bowled a 300 with this ball. Very smooth and strong reaction. Probably no faster than about 13-14 mph

[@mrawallace101]

Blackwidow pearl was my favorite I interested in trying this out as well as the 2.0

[@Lethargiccharge]

I just bought a black widow 2.0 after bowling with the OG Black Widow, and it is just as good, IF NOT BETTER than the original!! I absolutely captures the dynamics of the black widow OG. It is SO fucking versatile its unbelievable. I am absolutely floored with this ball and I cant wait to push it to its limits!

[@donaldexley1852]

the Pink for sure, loved this review was very good mix of shots to see all over the lane

[@adamread2425]

Never matched up particularly well with the Widows. Owned quite a few, but the Pink was by far my favorite.

[@BuzzsawBrent]

Mitch is just so calm.

[@alanh4707]

Awesome review! Keep up the good work.

[@hersheljones9467]

Pink I love the most have that n 2.0 in my bag would love to have a black widow purple urethane

[@brianmitchell6684]

Widow 2.0 has been a fantastic ball for me. Pin up configuration has worked well. I think this ghost will be my go-to ball during transitions but after watching this review I may have to try it out as my starter ball.
