The Ambush which was the last release into the BVP line prior to the Wizard has been one of the highest regarded models in recent history. The Wizard looks to build on that lofty reputation and by all accounts thus far, it will easily live up to the name.
Wizard’s core/cover combination is ideal for those players who throw with higher speeds and need a ball that will ‘read’ the lane faster. It also performs extremely well on longer oil patterns, as well as those times when lane play has carried oil down the lane, reducing entry angle with other balls. It’s a powerful ball with hook to spare! To learn more, visit the pro shop or call 258-9321 ext: 33

Hammer’s latest introduction into the heavy oil, large hooking balls is the Black Widow. The “Gas Mask” core design delivers both a low r.g. which allows the ball to rev up quickly for almost any release and a large differential which delivers a large track flare.
Disregarding the technical information for a moment, this ball flat out wants to hook! The Black Widow combines the control and smooth reaction of a mid-range ball with a large hooking action from the mid lane through the back end and crushing pin action. The shell material on the Black Widow is called “Violent Reactive” and comes out of the box in a smooth finish. It polishes very nicely for more length through the front part of the lane but even in a polished shell, the reaction on the back end is much less sudden or sharp than one might expect. This is especially beneficial for those who bowl on fresh back ends or who have slower or medium speed.
The Black Widow also features a very sharp look on the lanes with a solid black colour with just a hint of red swirl.
This ball would be ideal for anyone who is looking for more reaction then their current equipment is providing. If you would like to learn more about the Widow and how it would help your game, visit the pro shop today or call 258-9321 extension 33.
