I throw the Black Widow Pearl, but not too often.  I usually use mine on a second shift after I use my cherry vibe.  It works pretty good for me, it's just weaker than I thought it would be.  It works out though, because the Cherry Vibe was stronger than I thought it would be.

Always trying to learn more about the game and make myself better.

The Black Widow Pearl is crap incarnate, the cherry vibe is really a better choice, and much cheaper.

"Oh my God! You're hard! Dude, it was a fight! You don't pull a boner in a battle!"

I have found my BWP to be earlier than any other Hammer I have thrown, even in box condition. I threw a 299 with mine at state, so I too think the CRAP is a bit harsh. Just has it's use.

I am now trying mine at 4000, my issue is I don't bowl on heavier conditions, so I don't need it to be any earlier. Dunno, just trying some different things with mine.

I got my BWP just a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Although I keep mine with a super shine on it.
