Details

Few bowling balls have earned the reputation of the Hammer Black Widow. For years, the Black Widow line has set the standard for performance, consistency, and hitting power, becoming one of the most trusted names in the sport. The Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid continues that legacy by delivering the signature Widow motion with added length and a stronger move downlane.

Built around the legendary Gas Mask core, the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid maintains the high flare potential and continuation that bowlers have relied on for years. What sets this version apart is the addition of Hammer’s HK22 – Aggression Hybrid coverstock. This combination allows the ball to glide effortlessly through the front of the lane while creating a sharper, more angular move at the breakpoint than many previous Black Widow releases.

Compared to the Black Widow Ghost, the 2.0 Hybrid pushes farther down the lane before making its move, making it an outstanding choice as lane conditions begin to transition or whenever you need to create more angle through the pins. It stores energy exceptionally well and unleashes it at the breakpoint, delivering the explosive backend motion and impressive pin carry that have made the Black Widow family legendary.

Hammer spent more time testing the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid than nearly any Widow release before it, ensuring it lived up to the expectations that come with one of bowling’s most iconic names. The result is not a replacement for the Black Widow line, but one of its most versatile and complementary pieces.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Legendary Gas Mask asymmetric core
  • HK22 – Aggression Hybrid coverstock for added length and backend motion
  • Clears the front of the lane with ease
  • Sharp, angular breakpoint with outstanding continuation
  • Excellent complement to stronger solid Black Widows
  • Ideal for medium to heavy oil and transitioning lane conditions
  • One of the most versatile balls in the Black Widow lineup

Whether you’re already a Black Widow fan or looking for your first Widow, the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid is a ball that belongs in nearly every serious bowler’s arsenal. It offers the perfect blend of length, recovery, and continuation, making it just as effective during league play as it is on demanding tournament conditions. It’s no surprise this remains one of Bowling World’s best-selling bowling balls year after year.

Beast of a ball

I have plenty of miss room with this ball. My favorite hybrid ball. This ball holds.well.wgen u miss inside and comes back when I miss outside.

Not the strongest hybrid ball in the world but so versatile.

Hammer Does Nails It!

I broke in this baby with 12 games this Wednesday night. The release is smooth, and backswing is even on every throw. Hit my marks clean and the Widow always locks on target. The backend reaction is awesome! My setup allows for me to add extra hook playing on the left boards or for me to throw straight shots on the right boards with minimal adjustment in my release. The HK22 will grab the oil and begin the hook going uphill and finds the pocket every time. As the lanes dries or becomes dusty it will still react BUT you need to have another ball in the arsenal to hit the pin deck. I use my urethane for this purpose as it doubles as my spare ball.



At the break-in period you will need to take your time and find your sweet spot on the boards and watch the pin deck and the carry. It’s takes about 3-4 games but this new Widow allows for a fast learning curve. My rev rate has definitely increased with this ball and my form is much looser than before. My 14lbs Gyro I is heavier than this 15lbs Widow Hybrid. Love this new technology for sure as I was much less fatigued after 3 hours on the lanes.



This ball allows a bowler to move anywhere on the lane make the adjustment and still find the target. I’m sold on the Hammer line as I was a devout Ebonite bowler for 36 years. I will be buying Hammer in this new era of bowling for sure.
