Hammer's New Black Widow Mania is a BEAST! | Full On-Lane Bowling Ball Review

[@larryroberts6614]

Thanks for including the rationale for your layout choice. Interesting! How do you know when your ball is over flaring and the motion is just not just the nature of the ball?

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

I know it's overflaring when the ball hits the backend and it's still flaring instead of actually changing direction. By then I need the ball to reach a point of stability and roll up. If it's still flaring, it's still "unstable" and isn't going to give me the power I need.

Gotta love the Widows! This will be a great addition to go with my 2.0 solid! Thanks Jeff awesome review!

[@jynx1395]

This newest Black Widow could be the early leader for "ball of the year" in 25' The Snap Shot from Radical looks solid.

[@mikejohnston8919]

Awesome video! Getting mine drilled today!

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

Sweet!

[@alvinperry6857]

I am picking mine up today. Arctic Vibe, Scorpion low flare, and the Widow Mania for my bag.

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

That's a mean arsenal, good luck out there! :)

[@WillieGross-e7i]

I believe the Black Widow Mania will be a 1-2 punch for my 2.0 Hybrid. I could use the 2.0 Hybrid, Black Widow Mania, and the Arctic Vibe as my 3-Ball arsenal.

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

I could absolutely see that - the 2.0 Hybrid isn't as flippy off the spot as the Mania. The Hybrid cover smooths the reaction out a little bit and gets it to see the lane a little earlier.

[@WillieGross-e7i]

Thanks so very much ​@@JeffTeachesBowling

[@jeroldserrell9746]

Good video Jeff

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

Thanks!

[@russellgilbert3453]

Dat ball got bounce! 😮

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

Yes. Yes it does. 🤣

[@dennismcclintock3154]

Another great video Jeff. Thoughts circa straighter player new 3d offset Hyb much better all though I have the 2.0 BW solid and really like it

[@toreycasey1214]

Enjoyed the video

[@markkeller9378]

Nice video. Thank you.

[@Shawn-e6o]

I like the video. I have a question. Is this ball in the video NIB never thrown till now? I understand that balls tame after a period of time just need to find out what the timeframe would be for taming this ball

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

Yes that's correct, never thrown one shot until this video. The first shot in the video was the first shot I ever threw with the ball, and as you can see the video wasn't cut or edited, so you got to see all of the shots i threw.

[@Kaakkraker2701_]

I have 510 rpm and throw it 26kph, i can stand with my bw 2.0 hb on 35 and throw it over 15. How will the mania react im comparison?

[@cramps88]

So would this be a good medium/sharp ball then to follow up my 3.0?

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

Absolutely, this ball hits the dry and comes off it hard. They complement each other well.

[@shkrzfyi]

How does this ball compare to the Hammer effect? I was planning to get that, but it's sold out everywhere. Will the Mania overlap with my Widow 2.0 Hybrid and 3.0 solid?

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

@shkrzfyi i do a comparison with the Effect in this video so you can see the differences and how the Effect is a little less dynamic, in my opinion. I don't think this Widow will overlap much with the 2.0 Hybrid or the 3.0 (the other comparison i do in this video). The 2.0 Hybrid is a little earlier and smoother than the Mania, and the 3.0 is a much different ball because of the dull solid surface.

[@shkrzfyi]

Thank you so much! I've already pre-ordered the Mania and can't wait for it to be drilled.

[@JeffTeachesBowling]

@@shkrzfyi you're welcome!

[@russellgilbert3453]

25 to 10 and you might WIN! 😆
