Review on the Black Widow Bite from Hammer:

Featuring the High Mass Bias Gas Mask Core with Flip Block and new Violent Bite Reactive coverstock, the Black Widow Bite is what we moderately call ‘aggressive’. The Black Widow Bite expands the performance offerings in the Black Widow series by offering a stronger hook motion with more aggressive backend. Take that as a warning.

Here are some online reviews on the Hammer Black Widow Bite Ball:

Hammer Bowling’s Black Widow Bite is a Black Widow on steroids. The only thing that has changed on this ball compared to the original Black Widow is the coverstock and oh boy what a change it is. Compared to the Black Widow, the Bite needs a lot more oil. If you have a lot of hand and are bowling in a house with a lot of friction, you will have to play way inside in order to keep this ball from burning up in the front and make little to no movement in the back. For those that do not really get a lot on the ball, this ball will work for you anywhere. My Bite is drilled with the pin above the bridge, cg kicked and the MB 3 inches to the left of my thumb (I’m left handed) with a weight hole. While using this ball on the typical house shot in the track, it tended to be way over under for me, if I got it outside too quick it burned up and if I missed in, it would u-turn in the back. In order for this ball to do what it is intended to do I had to move inside with it and open up the lane. Once I got inside, I had the world, I could miss out and it’d make it back and if I missed in, I had the more push than I could imagine. Once I got to the right part of the lane I couldn’t put it down. Over all, this ball is stronger than what it is made out to be since it is similar looking to its predecessor. Make no mistake if this ball is drilled to strong, if the center you bowl at tends to hook up front or a combo of both, this ball will not make the turn it is suppose to because it is burning up not because it doesn’t hook.

I already returned my Black Widow Bite because of a crack and asked for a Twisted Fury instead. WOW the Twisted is awesome, the Bite did just that for me it bites and not in a hooking way. Did not like the roll. I still like Hammer but I like my Black Widow. Save your money on the Bite.
