Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid | Best Bowling Ball of the Year?? | The Hype | Bowlersmart

[@njnear12inFl]

You picked up a subscriber here. ALWAYS willing to support the BRUTHAS on ANY plattoform channel. I'm a HAMMER guy myself. Love the entire arsenal. Keep up the great work.

[@Lethargiccharge]

8:13 is a perfect example of why I love the 2.0, and you explained it perfectly man!!

[@TheGeetarJoe]

Hutch, This is exactly the video I wanted to see, and it’s what I expected out of the hybrid vs the ghost. Great video dude.

[@melissabrown4150]

4:52 I really this ball. I have a very mixed bag. The DV8 Damn Good Verge is still my go to. I also have this 2.0 Hybrid which I definitely need to work with more,and a 900 Global Eternity. I love this Hammer!

[@michaelmedina5254]

I'll have four widows in my bag when this comes out on the 23rd. The OG Black Widow, the Savage, the Hybrid 2.0, and the Widow Viz. Thanks Charles for another great video!!

[@Lethargiccharge]

Thats so dope you're running an OG WIDOW!! That was my favorite ball back in the day!! The 2.0 is exacccccctly like the OG from what I remember and can't recommend it enough, the ghost is ridiculous as well hahahah

[@asdfkhieee]

So I started to figure out what you meant by "sharper" when describing the Hybrid, but as a bowling Newb I was lost for a good portion of the video. It would be cool if you explained the Lingo you used while using it in the video. Thanks for the review.

[@remington1439]

Charles’ I still watch the video of the Black Pearl stealth ball. About the 5th shot or 6th you put it out there and it hit the pocket but right when you left the 7-10 the both fell at the SAME time, even the reply was CRAZY Bro. Unbelievable. I’ve never seen that at the same identical fall.

[@michaelfinley9988]

I’m an old dude and loved Hammers back in the 80s when they were FAB and urethane. I had all the Hammers back then. I purchased a Hammer No Mercy quite a few years ago and didn’t like that ball at all, so I haven’t had another Hammer since. I may try them again, but not sure which one I’m leaning towards. Not fan of the color of the Ghost so that one has always been out for me. So it’s between the 2.0, the 2.0 hybrid, the 3D Attack or the Envy Tour. Great comparison vids. Keep up the awesome content. I like the cross brand comparisons.

[@123djmj]

😂I bowled with this guy in HighSchool “HotSauce” be goin crazy

[@TheHype-Bowling]

My dawg!

[@flinch622]

Agree on your take: ghost is smoother. Hybrids are sometimes a pleasant surprise.

[@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

You look super comfortable with the ghost. All the balls have a nice roll to him. The new hybrid is a pretty looking ball.

[@nicholasblohowiak29]

I have a black and gold widow. I absolutely love it. What I feel in love with is the gas mask core.

[@KennyGrinols]

2.0 Hybrid Widow vs the G900 Eternity.. Let's see the top 2 strong shiny balls of '23 go at it.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

🤫🤫🤫

[@nordattack]

Amazing how smooth the Ghost is compared to the Hybrid and Solid. They actually roll like Ghost is solid, 2.0 is Hybrid and Hybrid is Pearl. Great video production quality as usual.

[@thelaneman2255]

I have all three and I agree with you on how they roll. All of them have the same layout. Who would think the pearl would be the earliest and the solid go longer and flip more.

[@LuisNapoles]

Looking good bruh! Road to 10k finna be here QUICK!

[@newbloodink]

Picked up the Widow Darkness LOVE IT! and similar to like you said about the Ghost and Hybrid it'll make a nice combo. Just hope I'll be able to keep the Darkness in play.

[@johnholladay9769]

Just purchased one, hopefully it puts finishing touch on my game. Originally a 190 avg league bowler

[@moreepicrandomness9508]

I used to go to sawgrass Lanes all the time I used to live not far from there That's so cool maybe if you ever wanted to we could link up

[@ZelphrinsGaming]

Ghost looks a lot like a start ball for lane checks. Switch to Hybrid or Solid after 3 frames of Ghost. That being said, the Ghost is a great trainer. You can replicate the super sharp angles if you throw the Ghost slower. That hybrid is definitely a lane check choice, although it seems to look great coming off first shot.

[@mannyj8805]

Thank you for the video. I have the 2.0 and agree that the ball is forgiving. I have it paired up with a polished Envy and they are working well for me. I and definitely considering this ball.

[@larryschlutt7211]

I didn't like my 2.0 hybrid at first. Local bowling center had a strange oil pattern out for a month.. now that I have more friction to the right, this ball is a smooth yet hard hitting monster. Take my ghost and 2.0 hybrid with me every league night

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Yeah that is a nice combo!

[@thatpyroguy5371]

Exactly what I was looking for in a video. I have the Ghost and wanted to see them both before pulling the trigger. When you do your next video with the 3d attack, will you also throw in a few shots with the 3d offset high rev too?

[@demetriusfuller2980]

Can you compare the 2.0 hybrid to the katana assault please

[@PapasHobbyGarage]

I have the Black Widow 2. It has a sweet hook. It will get away from you if the lanes are little dry.

[@Christopher_Black]

Any chance of a comparison of this ball with the Bigfoot Hybrid? Both HK22 hybrid and look amazing

[@Cdcd4393]

Solid is my favorite ball. Definitely looking at the hybrid.

[@aaronangus5507]

Gotta be ball of the year for me. Bowled about 40 games with it. 2-300's, 2-290's and a bunch of 6 baggers or more.

[@athlonen]

Have to agree with the others in saying that this was the video I was looking for. My Web Tour Hybrid Edition has the same layout as you have on the 2.0 Hybrid, and that's my benchmark piece, so I know how to adjust off of that. While I have the Widow 2.0 at 70x4.5x30, I also have a BW Platinum Black with the same layout as the Web Tour Hybrid Edition, along with the BW Platinum silver, which is at 70x4.5x35. I feel that the Widow 2.0 goes a bit too long for what I need, so that is where the Platinum Black comes in; I think the Widow 2.0 Hybrid with the same 60x4.5x30 layout will slot in perfectly between the Platinum Black and the Platinum Silver. I'm liking how clean the 2.0 Hybrid is. Now, since they came out with the BW Urethane Red Pearl overseas, and it looks like the original Fab Hammers, I'm just waiting on a BW Urethane Blue Pearl to come out and hopefully it looks like the Fab Blue Pearl Hammer, then I'm set for life!

[@jasonsmith3537]

Ordering this today from my distributor. Since I LOVE the 3D Offset Attack with that same cover...and I LOVE the Gas Mask core (have 4 other Black Widows), this ball is perfect for me as I prefer the skid/flip style of play.

[@cruzramin738]

Great Video! Love your content keep it up!

[@BlameItOnYourFriend]

so excited for this one can't wait to pick it up. I love my Black Widows!

[@christophertrebus7492]

How would the 2.0 hybrid compare to the legend? Hiw much does the hk22 change the ball from the NBT Hybrid?

[@shaungotgameftw5699]

I got the ghost and i like the way it rolls

[@TheHype-Bowling]

The ghost is still on of the best balls on the market.

[@Lethargiccharge]

I can not wait for this ball to come out, started back with the 2.0 and now have the ghost and its a killer line up, this is only going to add to the other two!

[@Frostecy]

Is there going to be some overlap if you already have the Defender Hybrid?

[@dennismcclintock3154]

Hey Charles I know this is and older video. Been watching you for awhile . Quick question I just purchased a Hammer Web black purple blue pearl no hot sauce 22 but it has the aggression hybrid cover how is this ball it got great reviews how much diff is it from this 2.0 hybrid this ball has gas mask core and the ball I bought used spheroid core any I’m out would be great thanks DMac

[@No_Lucks_Given]

Damn that ball slams off the friction. I like it.

[@Wateryboa]

Just got the 2.0 hybrid two days ago and already love it. I also have the 2.0 and it’s extremely forgiving for me. Also I feel they complement each other very well. Sad I got rid of my pink widow (not urethane)

[@joshualoomis6550]

Im getting the 2.0 hybrid, I have the regular 2.0 and the og pink. Im thinking I want the ghost as well lol

[@fgump51]

Good shit Charles, another great BB review video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 only thing I’d want to know is lane conditions in the beginning so we know “when” these balls reacted like that.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

House shot 99% of the time.

[@fgump51]

Thanks! I kinda meant like “playing on fresh oil rn” or like “played a few games already on this one and it’s starting to transition” Like here in Cali I live closish to 6 different alleys and where I have league has the dryest lanes of them all Or maybe other places don’t transition like it does at my alley ahahhaha but we transition like almost every game Hahaha So move left left left or ball down with different coverstock

[@russellgilbert3453]

Best Black Widow, ever, the Black Widow Bite.

[@davidgagnon4023]

Like to see I video of using the Black Woodward 2.0 hybrid picking up spares

[@ozneroll2132]

Charles….how does this compare to the Savage? Do you like it better?

[@Ace0fClubs0001]

Great review! I have a 15lb Black/Gold Widow and it has the same core with a similar coverstock to the 2.0. Not sure if I should retire it and buy the 2.0. 🤔

[@TheHype-Bowling]

definitely a different ball.

[@macdizie235235]

I am trying to learn. What is the weight of your ball for the 2.0 hybrid and what is the average speed you are attempting to have it around when throwing between the 30 and 25 arrow?

[@TheHype-Bowling]

I throw 15lbs, and average between 15-16 mph

[@mikemack792]

Once again Mr which is the best offset and what hammer is the best right now. The birthday October

[@TheHype-Bowling]

3D attack is the best in my opinion. Purple one gets slow for me.

[@joeydurham4322]

Yo your making me want to throw my black widow pink pearl now

[@b.r.fowler785]

Man! I just got the Ghost, too! I have yet to drill it and the 2.0 Solid. Do Brunswick and Hammer want my money that badly?!

[@Mikey-1990]

I just got the Ghost and Hybrid and I swear this is one of the best combos I've ever thrown. I start in the ghost and then get into the Hybrid once I have to move left. They give me such a good look on both my house and sport shot leagues it's insane.

[@b.r.fowler785]

@@Mikey-1990 I’m about to start bugging my PSO about the Hybrid until he gives in and orders one for me.

[@TraumaRider]

Can't wait to pick mine up!

[@chrisstrong3748]

Any chance of comparing this to the Katana Assault or possibly the Absolute?

[@kutncure]

Great vid and audio…I just purchased bit have not played with it yet..???What bowling shoes do u recommend?❤

[@TheHype-Bowling]

I like kr strikeforce hypes.

[@SfLow415]

Just pre ordered mine

[@louiscornale5667]

Bar open?

[@debochannel4827]

Man why you didn't come down for the PBA here in Indianapolis this last week bro. Would have been nice to have met you man and I know you would of gave TJ a run for the money.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Man those guys are different.

[@shanebussell6266]

Do you think having all 3 of these in the same bag is a overlap?

[@andrescruz447]

What weight are you using 🤔. Thinking bout ordering

[@TheHype-Bowling]

15lbs

[@LionBowler17]

The 2.0 Hybrid definitely looks sharper off the spot than the Ghost. What about front to back though? Hard to see in the video, but would you say the breakpoint is earlier or later than the Ghost?

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Ghost reads the lane earlier.

[@BassRacerx]

currently the black widow 2.0 is my only reactive ball and i'm dealing with a wet/dry scenario where if I shoot from too far left the ball doesnt make it back to the pocket and a little right the ball is way left of the pocket and I don't have a lot of margin for error. Not sure which ball to get next the Black widow hybrid or ghost or the radical bigfoot hybrid. I'm still a new bowler so my rev rate is lower but i'm working on it.

[@scottpatton8806]

Have you tried the pink Black Widow Urethane yet? I found mine to really blend out well that wet/dry (cliffed) condition.

[@BigJim5754]

Late to the party on this vid/comment but if ur lower rev and only on house shots, stay right, friction is ur friend! I'm speed dominant so alittle rev challenged and I camp out rolling my balls between 5-10 board at the arrows on house shots. Less oil to the right of 15 arrow, less as u get closer to 5 arrow. Rev challenged bowlers should always remember, friction is ur friend :)

[@BassRacerx]

@@BigJim5754 lol I ended up buying the track Stealth pearl and the day i got it the local house is now flooding the lanes and the black widow seems to be doing the trick but it is still a tad too aggressive. the stealth pearl is box finish and not making the turn because its too shiny. going to take a 3k pad to the Stealth pearl and try that next time i don't think i have enough revs for shiny surface.

[@tvphotog17]

Compared to Black Ice? Same or different reax

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Black ice is going to be a little smoother in comparison to the 2.0 hybrid.

[@tvphotog17]

@@TheHype-Bowling Good to hear that's what I'm looking for then, thanks

[@jamesfetes8618]

When video for new envy tour drop? That’s the one I wanna see😊

[@BassRacerx]

it's just an obsession tour with a stronger cover.

[@MikeSmithMLS]

Are you using finger tip grip or conventional?

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Finger tip grip.

[@MikeSmithMLS]

@@TheHype-Bowling this is the first ball I ever got and the pro shop drilled conventional since they said I never had tip before do you think that will be a problem I’m trying to learn how to throw this ball I only use to fingers but still bowl with one hand I’m thinking I need to get the thumb added and start learning how to throw with my thumb

[@Michael-Ambarossa]

Would the 2.0 hybrid be comparable to the reality check

[@thebigeasy8609]

Can't go wrong with a "Widow"!!!

[@ABrokenSociety]

I have the Solid 2.0 and the Hybrid 2.0, and I HATE the Hybrid. It's very inconsistent on the lanes and just doesn't react how you think. It's very, very unpredictable.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

I’ve experienced that as well. For me it fits a very specific gap and situations where I have to have my angles very wide and the lanes are forcing my angles to be steep. Outside of that. That ball does not come out.

[@lahuew]

Ebonite Polaris is probably one of the strongest as well. I get way more action and revs out of it. Not knocking these either.

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Polaris is different category all together than these ball. That’s a huge ball.

[@lahuew]

@@TheHype-Bowling have you thrown it? Curious question, honest question.

[@remington1439]

I agree with the 2.0 widow and the ghost, but the attack will have more off the spot by 3 boards than the 2.0 hybrid. Attack has a bigger core. Just my view not knocking yours Charles

[@TheHype-Bowling]

I completely agree. The next video it is more apparent to me that the 3D attack is the most downlane. Always feel free to chime in. More perspective is good!

[@alanbialeck948]

The solid 2.0 black is by far the best shape of any widow. I have seen the overseas bright green one and that kind of has the same shape and a little sharper.. I've never thrown the hybrid but I had the ghost and quickly gave it away. To me it was so over under I couldn't control the back end. Two different KZbin reviewers had in their worst bowling ball of the year. The ghost I mean.

[@greedypigeongaming5151]

I have 2 of 3! 2.0 and Ghost! Update… I now have the 2.0 Hybrid also 😊

[@TheHype-Bowling]

Time to pick up the third.

[@not_levi15]

First

[@jamesfetes8618]

Ghost looked better IMO

[@athlonen]

The ghost looked to labor a bit, especially off the spot compared to the Hybrid. I mean, he threw the Ghost at the same place he threw the Hybrid, and pocket 8-10. Both are clean, but you can easily see the Ghost take much longer to get into a roll.

[@sriley064]

I picked up the Black widow pink pearl reactive and it was an over under peice of human refuse

[@edwinburks2042]

2.0 hybrid bowling ball by Hammer do not roll good It barely respond to friction

[@TheHype-Bowling]

In your case this can be the truth. Where is your traditional house located and have you been using it in league or in open play?

[@edwinburks2042]

It Show by the way you roll the bowling ball In the bowling house where you bowl 741 Gone now

[@TheHype-Bowling]

I don’t understand what your saying.

[@edwinburks2042]

understand the bowling Ball Is not what it cracked up to can you understand that.

[@edwinburks2042]

Rather it dull or Polish The bowling bowl do not respond good to Friction 741 gone now

[@dakotajordan9328]

Hate the widows. NASCAR limits the Daytona Speedway to certain criteria, USBC should do the same with the strength of these widows.
