Does anyone know if Hammer is planning on releasing any more of the "Black Widow" series bowling balls?  If so, what is next..

Thanks for the info Matt. That will probably be another great ball in the Black Widow series when it does come out.

Although a Bite Pearl would be...AWESOME!!!!, it would be kind of cool to see a true BW "Clear." I'm thinking clear with a gas mask core in it...I'd buy two...1 to use and 1 for display!

Why would they waste time with a pearl Bite anyway. That would eliminate the need for the BW pearl they are currently still producing.

Matt, a BITE pearl is one ball I WOULD NOT buy!  I just bought the BITE 2 weeks ago and like the reaction so far.  The BITES backend move is just sick!  This ball is flat out strong on the backend!  A pearlized BITE would just be impossible to control unless a super tame layout was used.

I'm sure they will continue with the BW series but just can't imagine what ball could be next.  The BITE is the strongest backend ball i've ever seen or rolled!

I'm talking more once they do away with the BWP...

chitown- the Bite is the strongest backend ball I've ever rolled as well...I'm just basing my speculation based on what they've done in the past...big blue, then big blue pearl, BW solid...then BW Pearl. a Bite Pearl would be sick though. It might be uncontrollable...but it'd be fun lol.

It truly will be interesting to see the direction they take now since Brian Graham has left.  I know Jeff Ussery is a well respected person in the industry, however I am sure he may have different opinions in the direction to take the products than Brian had.  Just a thought.

I don't think there will ever be a Bite pearl, it would be unusable, the BWP is next to useless on any condition that is not fresh as it is.  A weaker ball is probably not in the works, they don't sell so why make them?  Though I would love a pearl urethane Vibe, I won't hold my breath.  I would guess there will be a new BWS coming at some point that will supposedly replace the original for mediums.  Maybe with a "longer lasting cover" or something of that bs nature.  Either way, I would guess, just on name sake there will be something esle as they are selling so well.

From a previous post... the next widow is the Venom and then the last one is the Anti-Venom. Can't remember which post, just remember seeing the names.
