I'm liking these two different camera angles this is cool. Keep it up looking good enjoying the content.

I like the side layout explaining what your doing. Your videos are getting better with your content as well. Thanks JR

Love how you mentioned stuff towards the "lower rev guys".
90% of us that follow you and other Pro Bowlers and the guys that do ball reviews fall into that category.
It looks awesome seeing someone throw a ball 20+ mph and 450+ revs but in order to better help us pick
some new balls to purchase we need to see it more from the perspective of a bowlers skill we can relate to.

Thanks for re-posting this in 4K.
The lane side view you have in this video is PERFECT.
Please use that for your future videos. Really lets us see the ball motion.

I’m a two handed bowler with a really high rev rate and just picked up a ghost. This ball is teaching me a lot about what I’m doing wrong for sure. I tend to play high rev and come around the ball more. I was playing with a storm tropical surge, so even coming around I was playing around 10 boards. With my new widow, I am playing around 25 boards with a break point around 10 and still hitting Brooklyn more than not. Now I need to work on control of my release to fully utilize this very strong ball. I’m excited to learn. Though you can’t deny how satisfying it is to watch a ball whip back at nearly a 90 degree angle and destroy the pins.

Editing to add, I used a video I took and the storm charts to find I have roughly a 16.36 balls speed and 528 rev rate.

Fantastic video JR. Commentary, different camera angles, and explaining what works for you, when and WHY, all on point. So helpful. Thanks!

[mattzegarelli]

Love the new camera angles JR! Best reviews going!

I just got this Ball was waiting for you to review your always the first I come too for review love em

[thomasmerrick]

Big Fan of your bowling ball reviews since you were on Staff. In your videos you take your time and explain alot on what you are doing and about the balls reaction. I like that, keep up on terrific broadcasting the new bowling bal.

I have this ball. I love it. The carry for me has been insane.

Seems to work pretty well for Tommy Jones, too.

[darcywood]

Taking mine to league tomorrow, I'm excited

[The_pipeliner]

I love this ball! Bought one last year. #15 with a pin down configuration and it’s never disappointed in almost all lane conditions. The Only thing I don’t like is how dirty it gets after the first three or four frames. Might just be my OCD too though..😅

[EMP_Noob]

I just got one of these 3 days ago from the day I commented this comment and I can’t wait to use it!

[wolfpackLD]

Am getting this ball pretty soon really excited to use this ball very soon it will be my first black widow bowling ball

[jaegerbombgaming]

Ordered mine and getting it drilled today with that same layout. I'm a low rev player so to hear him recommend it for a low rev bowler lets me know I was on the right track decision-wise. Looking forward to using this baby tonight. I had a white dot back in the 90's playing in HS competition so theres gonna be some fun nostalgia factor watching this girl roll

[joshg]

Wow.. you got the uber old Brunswick scorers. I remember when we got these in the 90s.

[TheWildwoodPicker]

Thank you for this great ball review. I really enjoy watching all your videos. I was going to buy the new Hammer Effect for my Pearl Asym Ball, but now I'm thinking of switching my purchase to the Hammer Ghost Pearl. I am a low rev bowler and I think this ball would be better suited for my game.

[williamchristie]

Excellent review! Thank you for taking the time to be thorough. I've been using the Ghost for about six months. I have a lower rev rate and have no issues with this ball getting to the pocket from the far right. Pin carry is crazy. Almost feels like cheating with the scores I'm seeing with this ball. ;-)

[mveach]

This ball goes through the pins like a mack truck. I too put the black thumb and grips in and quickly switched to clear. When you are a low rev player this thing looks like it is just chugging down the lane with colored grips. Much more visually appealing with thre clear.

[travishanson]

Now I'm rethinking my desire for the UC3. Lol. Might add this and an Obsession solid to compliment the Obsession Tour Pearl in the bag.

Hammer is definitely forcing me to learn to bowl better, and it is working. In 3 weeks I went from struggling at 130's (after a 7 year hiatus) to now struggling at 190's and I'm getting better every time i hit the lanes. I'm hoping to make the cut next Saturday, but certainly will be making the TOC at the end of the sweeper series and should do well at another tournament the following week.
