I have a Black Widow and I've been trying to throw it like this for the last few weeks. It won't move at all. Recently it only works on real wood. Synthetic lanes provide me little movement and I've begun to find myself moving left and aiming at the pocket. I throw a normally straight ball on the right side of the alley and let it hook at the end of the lane. Any suggestions?

My husband owns and still uses his black widow. Maybe you should get it resurfaced. He got his new when I came out and it still hits as hard as it did before. All you need to do is set it out side and let the sun bake the ball so all the oil will drip off of it. It works for my husband it might work for you.

How do you know which way to get your ball drilled? I've never had one drilled for myself.

@anthony1797 i personally have the black widow solid and would recommend the solid over the pearl. my buds who got ht e pearl said it lost its hook within in the first year, ive had my solid for bout three now and its still going strong check out my video with it

@Crono1508 yea i have the black widow pearl to. I throw on an average speed of 17mph and a rev rate of about 475-500. i used to get this bad boy to hook alot and now i use it as a spare ball. now i have an ebonite playmaker :D and a brunswick c system 3.5 and ohh buddy that ball has so much snap!!!!

yea he only goes off balance after he releases the ball so no use judging his bowling technique ive got a 204 average and i kno guys who compete against me that have wierd techniques its bowling just like every other sport ppl have there on technique
-
who cares if he is lying, i still use the black widow pearl. I have won several tournements with it. It depends on who is throwing it, and how its is taken care of for how long it will last. the ball isnt that old. i also throw a ball that is from 2001 and have won tournements with that also.

@anthony1797 if your a 233 awerage why would u need to ask that, also this ball is old... look at the jigsaw trap for the new hammer equivilant and btw, its best not to lie on here no one cares anyway
-
im 14 and I average 233 im a stroker and i want to know if this ball could be good for me?

For those who don't know... the ones complaining about the way he throws. Notice how the ball falls off his hand just before he "throws"(rolls) the ball. That lets gravity assist in the rev generation. Yes, his balance is sometimes off but he's putting a lot on the ball and his rev rate obviously matches his speed. The ball reads the lanes and makes a great move on the back end to face up to the pocket.
have u found any problems with this bowling ball?

Yeah, it ran out of juice, old bowling ball for me now. I use it RARELY.

but would you recommend it at all for a stroker of an 171 average?
messageinabottle79 2 years ago
Sure, why not? Just get it drilled the way whatever benefits for you. I mean, if you can still find this ball available to purchased, I don't see why not. They've released newer models of this series that are suppose to be more "aggressive" but the Black Widow Pearl was pretty prime two years ago.
