I just bought this ball today. I bowled with a Hammer Taboo back in 2010 and this shares a lot of the same specs. Definitely a go to for oily conditions for a straight up and in bowler.
You didnt discuss ball weight. I just ordered a new bw3.0 but going down to 14 lbs, same core shape but I used to use a 15 lb ball. Pro shop guy thought it was a good idea to go down and pick up some ball speed but keep me more consistent for all 3 games. Would like to hear your thoughts on that.
Great video, as always. Much appreciated. I just picked up the Widow 3.0 after already having the widow hybrid 2.0. I actually surfaced the hybrid to make it a little less angular, smoother. Now that I have this ball, I’m thinking of taking the hybrid back to its original state. My issue right now (and I wish you had videos on this) is I have several balls- Phaze II, IQ ruby, Black Widow 2.0 hybrid and 3.0, Gem, Venom Shock, and the ExJ coming next month and I’m not sure where they all fit in my arsenal. I have some good benchmark balls, but not sure which are best, a great angular asym, and now the 3.0. I wonder where I might go, or what I should read, to understand how and when to use these bowling balls. Anyway, thanks again. By the way, are you a no-thumb one handed bowler?
We throw very similar, glad I found you! I have this ball and its great! I would like a little more snap in ball motion tho. 20mph range 15lb, 400+ revs, what would be stronger?
I have had this ball for roughly 6 months, I would advise against getting it resurfaced, it does not like it, it shines extremely fast but maintains its backend, i wish it hooked a little sooner on the lane but thats just my style and lack of skill, amazing ball, wouldn't use if you struggle with hooking too much, not a ball i would throw straight, it loves the oil but can be hard to dial in
Only thrown it once. No axis rotation and right up the back. Needs no help to hook, it's gone. From the right, gotta get it there quick, or its gonna over hook.
But it changes based on where I am on the lane and what I’m trying to do. Plus, every speedometer in bowling reads differently, so it’s rarely an accurate measure from 1 place to the next…
Still the best review channel on UA-cam!!
Thank you my friend!

Mega mind never fails to deliver🐐
I should paint myself blue for one of these
@@bowlersparadise2255how does this compare to the effect ?
@@bowlersparadise2255Halloween special that would be …”bowlers paradise”
Been patiently waiting for this one!
There was (and still is) a huge backlog! Keeping up out here is tough!
That right pin was driving me nuts haha
Great bowling with you last week!

I have this ball and love it
Glad to hear you’re loving it!
@@bowlersparadise2255 thx, I have a league game this Monday and looking forward to using it again

I have one. Absolutely love it. I would recommend it for anyone.
Best selling ball of 2024 so far. Reputation meets performance.
Great video mate.
Many thanks!

The 2.0 hybrid is very similar to this but has a good amount more pop down lane.
Bowled my best game ever with this ball, 262. My current 3 ball bag is the 3.0, 2.0 hybrid, Columbia cuda pearl.
Congrats on the new high score!
Do you have a layout recommendation for a high speed high rev player?

You keep this ball in your personal bag?
Would a Storm Fate or Motiv Primal Shock be a good step down from the BW3 or BW2.0 hybrid?
Fate would be a great step down.
Thanks for the review. I had requested you a lot 😂. How does it compare to the mindset from Brunswick?
Similar strength front to back but more core dominant so you see more shape off the spot.
Badass ball
Yeah but, what if they bring back the actual badass tho?
@@bowlersparadise2255 badass badass 😎
Bowled a 259 with this ball
Nice!
Any layout recommendations for a low rev low speed senior player?
I'd probably go with a 65x5.25x35 dual angle layout. Wanna try to get it down the lane before hooking too much so it doesn't roll out.
Rather see ball speed instead of your Avg in the top corner
But it changes based on where I am on the lane and what I’m trying to do. Plus, every speedometer in bowling reads differently, so it’s rarely an accurate measure from 1 place to the next…
Thanks Ben! I am looking to add the BW 3.0 to the top of my bag and your review just confirms my decision. ❤️ 🎳
Happy to help! Link is in the description when you're ready!
