Hammer Effect versus Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid // Ball Review

Hammer's done it: the first 4-color bowling ball ever. And it's not just a pretty face: this cover has a brand new HK22 additive ingredient, and a brand new weight block--both of which serve to dial up massive power for the midline and backend, making it one of the most aggressive balls on the market. But how does it stack up against the tried and true Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid? Joe returns to find out just how good the new hotness really is.

Nice to know where you ard standing and what you're looking at. I mean we can guessamate but if it were mentioned it would be cool

Nice seeing the Effect shape from playing straighter to getting in. It would be great to compare the other ball also to see the difference. Please do in future videos.

I had 300 and 760 first set with my Effect.

Good video. Would be nice to see just a few more shots with the Widow later in the video, just so my eyes can see what the Effect is really doing. But from what I can see, it looks amazing!

Thanks! I think Joe said he'll add a few extra shots of comparison balls in his upcoming vids. :)

Got mine drilled can’t wait to test on a fresh pair. Ball seems awesome even on a trashed pair.

What was your dual angle layout numbers on the effect?

I usually enjoy these videos but how is this a comparison? You threw the widow 2x 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Only_Quasi 2 ай бұрын

I really hope they went more in-depth. They look too similar that it kinda feels like people are just hyping it up

@surfboardshack3327 2 ай бұрын

@@Only_Quasi it does seem like a good ball but I agree, those first couple shots with widow and effect looked almost the same. Not sure why he didn’t open the lane up with widow. Honestly all of these balls are so close together that most of us probably don’t need to buy every new ball that comes out though it’s very tempting.

@@surfboardshack3327 yeah it's always "clean through the fronts, reads the mids well, and plenty of action in the backend!"

I feel the widow hybrid 2.0 is more angular than the Effect. Both are similar but handle the middle of the lane differently. Resulting in backend differences Downlane. I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I will for sure get more shots in when comparing since it is liked. I really wanted to focus on the mid lane roll of the effect. Thanks for watching. We enjoy making these for the Bowlers.

I have five different balls and they all do the same thing no matter how hard I try to get them to curve. My two "Go too" balls cost a total of $13, purchased at a local thrift store. It cost me more to have them re-drilled. As for the retail balls, I now have over $350 worth of doorstops. I just don't have the skills to get a ball to do anything but roll down the lane and hope for the best.

Can you post a short video of your layout and pin placement on the Effect?

@wsbproshop Ай бұрын

I measured the layout for Joe, and I he has it posted below now in the comments. 35 x 5 1/8 x 35

As you said is there a need for both balls in an arsenal? Maybe sruface change to 2.0 to differ from Effect?

@hammersomd 2 ай бұрын

They both have a spot in the bag due to their different rolls. However, if you’re looking to create more separation, I would probably leave the widow 2.0 out and go to something along the lines of a hazmat.

@tvphotog17 2 ай бұрын

@@hammersomdy, I've got the 2.0 H and getting the effect, I know they roll a bit different, thanks for explaining the difference. I don't want to give up the 2.0 yet, just won't be used as much going forward. Arsenal, 3.0, Sensor solid, Effect, 2.0 hybrid, purple reactive, purple hammer. Throw in's laying around: Super Nova, Envision, BW 2.0, Rhodman Pearl

@hammersomd 2 ай бұрын

@@tvphotog17 I would look at a shiny hybrid medium performance to bridge the widow2.0 and the purple reactive. Maybe a hazmat or GB4 hybrid.

You really should be wiping the ball down after every shot to get a consistent hit.

@hammersomd 2 ай бұрын

I didn’t really feel oil on the cover creating a need to wipe the ball off. I do when I feel it’s needed.

@billm5435 Ай бұрын

@@hammersomd I understand but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. It is on the ball whether you feel it or not.

@@billm5435He made a great video, as they always do on this channel. Who cares what you think about how he wipes his ball? Holy shit, just pay the guy a compliment instead of being critical.
