Hammer EFFECT vs Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid

Hammer Effect vs Hammer Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid
One of our friends here on KZbin asked if we could do this comparison, so here it is!
I had fun with this 😁
Let me know if there’s anything else you would like to see!

Talking about the small adjustments off the wrap 10 is very helpful. I also liked how you mentioned the boards you are sliding on and arrows you are targeting. This information really helps the viewers understand what is happening on the lanes. Nice video 👍

[@bowlwithVALue]

Thanks so much for your comment! I'll be sure to keep discussing stuff like that in future videos

[@iamartimus8809]

Been enjoying your videos! The BW 2.0 Hybrid is my favorite ball right now. Just picked up an Effect and a BW 3.0, and both of these balls hook a ton!

[@bowlwithVALue]

They really do hook a lot 🤯

[@mariansowinski8967]

Thanks for the review. Your videos are so helpful.

[@bowlwithVALue]

Thank you!! 🙏

The 2.0 Hybrid was my favorite and most used ball from the time I bought it when it was released. I purchased an Effect and I like it when the lane conditions allow it as most of the time it is too strong. But when the conditions were good, I had some nice series with it.

[@bowlwithVALue]

Thanks for the comment! I agree- it's a very unique reaction and quite strong. When it's right though, it's really good!

[@terrycrippen278]

I almost forgot to say my Effect has really changed my spare game for the better for 7, 4-7, 2-7 spares especially. I am a lefty and since picking this ball up my back up ball game has been the greatest improvement I've made in a long time.

[@bowlwithVALue]

oh wow, that's very cool!

[@thebigeasy8609]

Good Stuff! Would love to see more Radical stuff. I just think that their cores are so interesting. Thanks

[@bowlwithVALue]

Thank you! We will see what we can do :)

[@Lifter4Life]

Awesome video! I have both bowling balls and they compliment each other well 😊

[@bowlwithVALue]

Yay!! thanks for the input.

[@joejohnson560]

I am really liking the old vs new videos. I think a lot of people who use a 2.0 are looking to see how the Effect stacks up. It would be cool to see the new Track Cypher compared to something like the Cuda as the cores looks very similar.

[@bowlwithVALue]

thanks Joe! I will see what I can do about that one specifically 😏

[@darylgould8923]

Excellent video Valerie

[@bowlwithVALue]

Thanks Daryl!

[@larrylacroix3944]

Great video

[@bowlwithVALue]

thank you!!

8:07 good strike there. I’ve been thinking about the Effect since it’s been out, I also hammer the 2.0 it response better when I’m on 25 and have to get it to 10 or 5 in that area and it comes back hard to the pocket. But that effect ball seems to work better keeping it in the oil . Great job on the last 5 strikes..

[@bowlwithVALue]

thank you! yes, very responsive off of friction and I was surprised at the traction it has in oil. If you haven't seen it yet, I posted another video on the Effect with Dasha!

[@badknees82]

Nice video..I would like to see the sublime and the IQ pearl...

[@bowlwithVALue]

Thank you. And I'm sorry....I can't do anything outside of the Brunswick family!

[@badknees82]

O ok..my bad.. thanks any way

[@bowlwithVALue]

That's ok! There are a few other KZbinrs out there that are able to compare all bowling balls. Right now I'm just sticking with the 7 brands within Brunswick :)

[@badknees82]

@@bowlwithVALue o ok.. thanks

[@JoeleyPANTS-Okay-ist-Bowler]

I love my Widow 2.0. I'm not ready for a hammer effect, I've never thrown a pearl until recently. I picked up a used Nuclear Forge to get myself ready. I need to win the 649 to get all the balls I want!

[@bowlwithVALue]

You might not need a pearl! Sounds like you’ve got a couple good ones though

[@terrycrippen278]

I used to get that shooting pain in my thumb. I called them "zingers". I found by radiusing the edge of my thumbhole more, that eliminated it.

[@bowlwithVALue]

thanks for the tip! After the video, I put some tape in that thumb hole and it solved the problem...I was squeezing 🙃😬

[@gattsgodai3]

Widow is a lot rounder the effect looks more hook set to me.

[@bowlwithVALue]

Yes, I agree with that! Not sure I fully conveyed that in the video...

[@newbloodink]

Would go Widow then Effect or vise versa?

[@bowlwithVALue]

I would go widow 2.0 then 2.0 hybrid then effect 😏 or at least that’s what I did at the Queens, with maybe one or two other balls between the 2.0 hybrid and effect 😅

[@stevekeller3643]

Valerie, Thanks for the nice ball comparison video. I bought the 2.0 hybrid about 2/3 thru our season but didn’t throw it much as the lanes were fairly dry. One critique & maybe it was me- you did well in communicating the move with your feet but I wasn’t catching if/how you were adjusting your target. Thank you /will continue to follow. Best of luck.

[@bowlwithVALue]

Hey Steve! thanks for the comment. I saw this before we recorded the latest review and I realize I just said quickly "2&1" or "2&2" without explaining what that actually means! So in the Brunswick Perfect+Intense Mindset comparison video, I made sure to explain it.
