Is this a US release or just another overseas ball?

Exactly, at 15 lb. and RG 2.50 with a .60 Diff. That ball will flare and hustle across the backend.

That's okay - throwing a man-weight version will just CRUSH the pocket

If im not the best, then im a dayum striking resemblance!  Big Daddy Kane '88



Sort of looks like the NVS color scheme.  More length.. more backend.  just want everyone wants, but probably no one needs.. LOL

Does anyone else think that Hammer might be going a bit too far here? Sure, the ball will sell, but do Hammerheads really need a Widow that goes even longer and hooks even harder? The pearl already gets a very good amount of length and turns over nasty hard. Personally, I would rather have seen a Widow for truly heavy stuff. Then again, the Widow line has been all about length and backend, so why stop now, right?

That's what seems to sell!  I'm not a big fan of the BW line but there's a lot of bowlers who are!
