Looking for the Widow Pearl?
« on: January 25, 2007, 04:00:37 AM »
I am looking to get my hands on the new Widow Pearl. I just drilled the BW, and am not satisfied with the length, still OOB finish. I know I can tweak this ball but why not just gets its brother ball and keep the original BW finish.

It hasn't come out yet. I contacted Hammer less than a week ago and they said to expect it sometime around July.

I'm a high rev player and the widow obb was terrible for me, sanded it to either 2000 or 1000, and its one of the best balls in my bag.

I've got two Widows, one with pin under ring, MB next to thumb, weight hole in thumb quadrant about 4" from pin (about a 4.5 x 4 for me) which I keep exclusively at 1000 grit, and a second one with the pin above and right of ring, MB next to thumb, weighthole on center line about 4" from grip center (about 4 x 4) which I had originally at 2000 grit, tried it this week on an extreme wet-dry shot where an RXS300 drilled the same as Widow #1 but at 1500+polish wasn't quite enough ball, but took it to 4000+polish first...it definitely rolled VERY well for me, no HUGE snap, just a VERY controllable hard arc off the spot.  Granted i've only used it for just those 3 games, but the reaction I saw out of it was nothing like the squirty/too flippy reaction that most have reported out of polishing their Widows.  

Personally I think that my axis tilt/speed/revs match up VERY well with this condition, but the Black Widow pin up 4000+polish was DEFINITELY a good choice for this wet/dry pattern

i am hoping santa will come early this year and bring something high line pearl :-D, like a really aggressive rolly pearl something along the lines of the infinite one from Ebonite or the Agent from Storm

but who knows... but if your lookin for the widow pearl... you might as well be searching for a new in box blue pearl hammer 3d offset... cuz good luck with doing either one of those things lol... hopefully we will see a widow pearl later this year

I am not sure if you are aware that the Widow pearl has been around for almost a year already. Thaey are not releasing this to the Public because the Black widow is selling so well. Why take away from a good seller. I think they may have learned a bit from Storm with some of the very quick releases that hurt sales over and over again. I was hoping to find someone with some inside contacts that could find out some details on the issue. I was told last night from a good source that they are going to wait until after sales die down for this season??? I have an original Blue Hammer Pearl, never plugged and still in great shape. I wonder how much this would be worht on the market.
