Hammer Black Widow Ghost Pearl Bowling Ball

The Gas Mask Core With Clean Length and a Strong Backend

About the Black Widow Ghost Pearl

The Hammer Black Widow Ghost Pearl takes the feared Gas Mask core and wraps it in a clean, all-white pearl. It pairs the legendary asymmetric Gas Mask Core with the Aggression Pearl coverstock at a polished finish, so it gets down the lane cleaner than the Black Widow solids and finishes with a strong, angular move on medium to heavy oil and transition.

The Black Widow Ghost Pearl is the length-and-angle member of the Black Widow line. The high-flaring Gas Mask core stores energy for a strong backend, while the polished Aggression Pearl cover conserves that energy through the heads. The result is the Black Widow’s signature flare delivered with more length and a sharper finish, all in a striking ghost-white design.

Understanding the Hammer Gas Mask Core and Hammer Aggression Pearl Reactive

Hammer built the Black Widow Ghost Pearl for clean length and a strong backend from the legendary Gas Mask core. 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 Pearl cover at a 2000-grit polish reads later than the Black Widow solids and saves energy for a sharp move down lane. As a result, it gives you strong, angular backend motion on medium to heavy oil and transition. The per-weight specifications are listed below.

The Legendary Asymmetric Core, Shared Across the Black Widow Line

At the heart of the Black Widow Ghost Pearl is the asymmetric Gas Mask Core, the weight block behind 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.

Pairing that high-flaring core with a pearl cover is what gives the Ghost Pearl its identity: the same strong flare and shape as the Black Widow solids, but with the energy held later for a more angular finish. Because it is asymmetric, your pro shop can tune the layout to control how clean and how sharp it plays.

A Polished Pearl Cover for Length and a Sharp Backend

The Black Widow Ghost Pearl wraps that core in Hammer’s Aggression Pearl Reactive coverstock at a 2000-grit polish, in a striking all-white ghost design. The pearl additive and polished surface let the ball conserve energy through the front of the lane, so it gets down cleaner than the Black Widow solids and then makes a stronger, more angular move off the friction.

That clean read and sharp backend make the Ghost Pearl the length-and-angle piece of the Black Widow line: when the solids start reading too early on a drying lane, the Ghost Pearl pushes through the heads and saves its energy for the pins. Leave it polished for length and angle, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier, smoother read on more oil.
