Overview
An asymmetric Gas Mask core is the working part inside the Hammer Black Widow Viz-A-Ball, wrapped in a polyester coverstock printed with Black Widow images. The description says it is the first Viz-A-Ball to carry a high-performance core.
Choose it as a harder-hitting spare ball or for extremely dry lanes, where polyester helps keep the ball from hooking much. The material row conflicts with the cover description, and drilling, differential and RG are not given.
Who it's for
A bowler who shoots spares with a dedicated ball, or plays very dry lanes, gets polyester with a flaring core. Anyone who needs a primary strike ball should look at a reactive cover with published core numbers.
Pros and cons
- Gas Mask asymmetric core
- Polyester cover for spare shooting
- Full Black Widow image graphics
- Manufacturer warranty included
- Material row conflicts with polyester cover
- Drilling not described
- RG and differential missing
Performance notes
The polyester coverstock gives length with little hook, which is why it is used for spares and dry lanes. The asymmetric core adds hitting power and flare on contact with the pins. The listing gives no core numbers, so the amount of flare cannot be quantified.
