Who would’ve known I wanted to see these 2 balls be compared?! Great idea, great video!

I have an erratic bowling history. League when i was 18, then didn't bowl much for years. In 2006 i bought a Columbia EPX-T1 and it cracked in half about the 10-12th time i used it. Now im 42, with a screwed up body and UGLY throw....but started bowling with a house ball several months ago. Just settled on the 2.0 Hybrid Monday. Bowled 3 games the day i got it... and REALLY liked it. Everyone says don't get a strong ball. My local guy, the guy in KC i bought from (AMAZING guy, wonderful service and super helpful- Total Bowling Gear in Overland Park, KS) and most professionals i watch on KZfaq. I never could throw a wicked back and forth hook...this ball has already helped me make some beautiful, and brutal strikes....can't wait to get back to the lanes...

Great comparison review! Love the unbiased info you provide.

Love this combo!! Keep doing what your doing!! LOVE IT

love my black widow 2.0. though it's overdue for a cleaning it still has a strong bite!

I really loved this review ! I have been looking at both of these balls. I already have a Super Nova that is REALLY strong so I think that the IQ Ruby would be a good complement to what I already have. The Black Widow might be to much over lap (strong) with my Super Nova. I bowl at Sawgrass by the way. Keep up the good work. I keep telling everybody to subscribe !

When are you doing black venom. Love to see it with Ambush and black widow 2.0 comparison

A year later - IQ pearl still a solid choice in your opinion? I like how straight or angular it can be .

When you say stronger hand position??

Pretty hard to tell much in any these vids when the ball gettin used is completley not right for the moment on the lanes. If you know you're doing this vid for example, can you talk to your house guys and come in maybe after senior league etc. w some transition? Even toasted lanes seem like a better option then fresh.

I'm a newbe seriously wanting that black widow 2.0 hybrid. My question though, since you said it's not an early ball. How would a venom shock do as an early ball and then transition into the black widow 2.0 hybrid?

I have the 2.0 hybrid and I love it the ball was designed for the lower Rev bowlers and since I got it my average has gone from 167 to 193 and as long as I keep the speed down it hits hard if I speed up it doesn't move much

I think these pieces definitely complement each other. Ironically I use the original black widow and the IQ Tour Fusion 😎

Good review! Can you do BW 2.0 Hybrid vs Brunswick Defender?

The black widow sees friction and goes nuts. The ruby looks good, can I ask your opinion of the envision pearl as a step down to the BW 2.0. I actually thought getting another BW and putting a more control layout in it for later games. Thanks for the great videos

I like the comparison idea. Probably would of had a better look on the burn.

I only have a ruby, but when its super oily i cant get it to hook enough to the pocket. Ive been thinking about the black widow 2.0 hybrid for these situations. Not sure if thats a good idea, thoughts?

i like your ball reviews and your bowling style im learning alot from new ball and being more knowledgeable and i been bowling since i was 8yrs old and i like your channel and i bought the Hammer Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid like a week ago i love back end balls cause im a cranker like Robert Smith way and E. J. Tacket and i think my next ball will be the Ruby

I've got both of these in my bag along with the overseas Black Widow Domination solid and the red overseas vibe #AllRed

Noted Leo Nakamura cell because they're both not asymmetrical but honestly what asymmetrical ball in the storm's lineup would compare to the Black

In the video you kept saying how the 2 balls compliment each other,. Can you elaborate on that?

​ @The Hype I am new to bowling. Pro shop had me get the Hammer RAW Hybrid. I also got the Black Widow solid from my dad (he had to bump down in weight so free ball). My questions: I can control the RAW Hammer more than I can the Widow, but, the RAW Hammer breaks a bit early. It's almost like a nice rainbow when I roll rather than a mostly straight diagonal with a hook at the back end. I used the widow solid, but when bowling, it starts to hook earlier as time goes by. With the Hammer RAW Hybrid, I also have to move further left as time goes by. Would the Widow 2.0 Hybrid be a good choice to use at that point? I am looking for a combo of the RAW and the Solid Widow.

It must be me, but I have the Widow drilled 65x3 7/8x 25, and I don't see a big change of direction downlane.... it's just strong and smooth... not exactly what I expected, not it's ok... I guess

BW 2.0 hybrid is actually just nutty.

Were both of the balls out of the box finish or what did you use?

Would you say the hammer hybrid would be okay for a first time ball? I’ve been bowling for years with a house ball but looking to finally make my first ball purchase. Would this ball be too much?

Not a fair comparison for one reason, Widow = STRONG asym while IQ is med sym and pearl vs hybrid. As you see here, the strength of the gas mask core is going to jerk the ball a lot harder while the mid diff and symmetry of the IQ will smooth the reaction. The widow's strength is it's continuation so it needs angle to play well but dumping it from river to desert in 2 ft doesn't count.

🔥

Just getting started in bowling again. What does "low-end" ball mean?

Always see the drill layouts but never see the weights of the ball. Is it safe to assume everyone is bowling a 16lbs ball?

Can you do a video on how you change your hand position and control your speed?

Compare the outer limits and the madness

But it's okay (damn spell checker!)

To many excuses
