Performance Analysis

Performance Analysis

The Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid splits the difference between the aggressive solid coverstocks and the angular pearl options in the Widow line. The Aggression Hybrid coverstock at 1500 grit gives it enough surface to read the midlane on medium-heavy oil while providing enough polish to push through the heads cleanly.

The Gas Mask core with Carbon Fiber outer core adds durability without changing the motion. This is the Widow that works on the widest range of conditions — from fresh medium-heavy oil to moderate transition, the hybrid coverstock adapts.

Who Is This Ball For?

The most versatile Widow for bowlers who want one Black Widow that handles the most situations. Tweeners get the most out of the hybrid coverstock’s balanced reaction. League bowlers who don’t want to carry multiple Widow options — this covers the most ground.
