Hammer Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid Vs Storm Absolute Vs Radical Outer Limits | The Hype
Here we have three of the most talked about Hybrid bowling balls on the market. They all have small difference but let's see how they stack up.
Hammer Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid Bowling Ball
It’s back, and it’s beautiful. The original black and red colors pay homage to one of the most successful balls of all-time, as we bring back the original reaction shape, updated for today’s conditions. The Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid is precisely what you want from a Black Widow, enough traction on medium to heavy oil and a big sweeping continuous ball motion that creates a lot of angle and high scores. This is the ball that bowlers have been asking for, and they will be in love.
The Black Widow has become the most recognizable and trusted line in bowling. The Black Widow 2.0 was released over two years ago and continues to be one of the best-selling balls on the market. The Black Widow Ghost was released over a year ago and has out-paced the 2.0 in sales since its release. We are excited to announce the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid, featuring our innovative HK22 base resin with the Aggression Hybrid additive package.
HK22 and the famous Gas Mask core create a reaction further down the lane than the Ghost and with a considerably sharper breakpoint. The Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid has gone through more testing than any Black Widow in recent history; ensuring this ball is remarkable is the only way to release a ball as a follow-up to two of the most successful products in the last two years. The Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid is not a replacement for the Black Widow line, it’s the best complement and addition we could create.

Storm Absolute Bowling Ball
In most cases, an extra slug, or weighted disk, is needed to create enhanced dynamics, but the evenly weighted masses at both ends of the Sentinel Core upgrades this effect more than a single slug ever could. This ensures the Absolute will change direction and continue through the pins better and more consistently. This is the first single-density asymmetric core in the Storm line since the Lucid. The R&D team has also reduced the amount of weight block mass near the area where the thumb hole is typically placed.
The inward angled edges increase the intermediate differential prior to drilling and allows the dynamic integrity to be preserved after drilling because the thumb hole misses the weight block. The extra intermediate differential makes the Absolute respond to friction on the lane more effectively and won’t miss the spot.
Tim Mack: I have been able to see this ball go down the lane more. My initial message to you was that this would be a great over/under ball. After seeing many styles of men and women bowling with this ball, I clearly underestimated the strength and power of this ball. It was really strong front to back and also side to side on multiple oil patterns. It never missed the breakpoint and had a much stronger backend reaction than I first thought. We will continue to evaluate balls and the motions we see.
