Hammer Black Widow 2.0 Bowling Ball

A Strong Asymmetric Benchmark for Heavy Oil

About the Black Widow 2.0

The Hammer Black Widow 2.0 is a proven strong asymmetric, one of the balls that cemented the Black Widow name. It pairs the legendary asymmetric Gas Mask Core with the solid Aggression coverstock, delivering big flare and a strong, continuous read on medium to heavy oil. It is a dependable heavy-oil benchmark with a hard-hitting backend.

The Black Widow 2.0 built its reputation on traction and power. The high-flaring Gas Mask core reads the midlane early and drives hard, while the Aggression Solid cover at a sanded finish digs into oil. The result is the strong, predictable, feared motion that put the Black Widow on the map.

Understanding the Hammer Gas Mask Core and Hammer Aggression Solid Reactive

Hammer built the Black Widow 2.0 for strong, aggressive motion on medium to heavy oil. Specifically, the asymmetric Gas Mask Core posts a 2.500 RG, a strong .058 differential, and a .016 intermediate differential for high flare and a defined breakpoint, while the Aggression Solid cover at a 2000-grit finish reads the midlane early and drives through the pins. As a result, it gives you the Black Widow’s signature strong, continuous hook. The per-weight specifications are listed below.

The Legendary Asymmetric Core Behind the Black Widow Name

At the heart of the Black Widow 2.0 is the asymmetric Gas Mask Core, the weight block that built the Black Widow legacy. At 15 lb it measures a 2.500 RG, a strong .058 differential, and a .016 intermediate differential, a combination that produces big track flare and a defined, aggressive breakpoint.

Because the Gas Mask core is asymmetric, layout has a strong influence on the reaction, so your pro shop can tune the pin and intermediate differential to control how early and how strong the Black Widow 2.0 plays. That tunable, high-flaring power is the foundation of the whole Black Widow line.

A Sanded Solid Cover That Digs Into Oil

The Black Widow 2.0 wraps that core in Hammer’s Aggression Solid Reactive coverstock at a 2000-grit finish. The solid cover and sanded surface read the midlane early, so the ball gets into a strong roll on medium to heavy oil and drives hard and continuously through the pins.

That early, traction-first read paired with the high-flaring Gas Mask core is what gives the Black Widow 2.0 its feared reputation. Leave it at the 2000-grit box finish for medium to heavy oil, take the surface lower for more traction on the heaviest volume, or polish it up for a cleaner, longer look as the lanes dry.
