- Description: It's about to get NASTY. The new Hammer Black Widow Nasty is the dirtiest ball motion yet in the Widow line. Send it wide and watch this Widow wheel back without stopping! Hammer's combination of a new, higher RG Widow core shape, a new Violent Wheel Reactive coverstock and the all new Cover-puck technology is going to redefine the Widow legend. Hammer's brand new Cover-puck technology brings this Widow back from almost anywhere. With a higher RG and higher differential core system, this Widow pushes further down the lane but keeps it coming on the backend. Just when you think she's about to give up the Big Wheel Reactive cover gets this Widow Nasty going on the backend. Hammer is the first brand in bowling to use Cover-puck technology and it pushes the Nasty to new ball motion that wasn't available with standard Widow cores. You'll see stronger down-lane motion with breakpoints that are easier to control when we use the Cover-puck system. We've also designed our new Widow core system to not only be high in differential but a little lower in mass bias, creating a more drill-friendly bowling ball. While you should still use asymmetric drilling options with the Black Widow Nasty, the movement of the Low Mass Bias mark will not be as critical as in previous Widow intros.

Awesome!! By B-rad from Michigan
Reviewed on: 12/17/2009 Verified Reviewer Pros:Consistant all night, Hits Hard, Great reaction, Great on heavy and dryoil Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I am a average league bowler. My average this year is 169. After adjusting my second game out of the box I shot 269 by high all year! The bowl seem to react well through heavy oil conditions and was easy to adjust once the lanes dried up. I consistently shot 10-15 pins over my average all night and even had my year high tonight. I can only see it getting better from here. Great ball much more back end then my widow pearl. It is nasty on the back end thats for sure :0). Get it if you want a aggressive yet easy to control ball!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Unforgiving By Bud from Meridian, MS
Reviewed on: 5/1/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Looks Bottom Line: I finally decided to upgrade from my old 3D Offset to the Black Widow Nasty.

Time to get nasty!!!! By cabby1979 from Mechanicsville, Maryland
Reviewed on: 2/18/2010 Verified Reviewer Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend First time I rolled this ball I nailed 5 strikes in a row with this bad boy. Great ball but this thing hooks like a beast and you will need to shine this ball up a bit on light to mid oil lanes to cut out some of the friction. You can throw this ball anywhere on the lane and it recovers nicely. So this is now my #1 ball of all time... Highly recommended and please keep up the good work Hammer. You guys rock!!!!

nasty will bring 30 pins to your average By n8 dawg from oceanside cali
Reviewed on: 2/25/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Control, Backend like no other Cons:Havent found one Best Uses:Shine her up for dry oil, Medium to heavy oil Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend this ball is all about your speed control. the rev on the backend can change your game. all the reviews say not a spare ball but i can bring the rev down and almost bowl this ball striaght. no problems picking the ten, deffinately not picking anything left of the head pin. this ball drives down long and striaght and just when you think you missed your mark it turns on a dime like gps directed to the pocket. be careful with this thing in dry though or you WILL be in the gutter. the jacket on this beast is the bomb blowing up and nocken um back. it soaks up oil and may need a wipe. break out the nasty you will love this aggresion.

Back End Hit Machine By Heavy Handed Chris from Chesapeake, VA
Reviewed on: 1/18/2010 Unverified Pros:Easy drill paterns, Great pin action, Flawless surface, Tremendous back end Best Uses:League play, Tournaments Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Got the Nasty on friday have put 30 games on it and I have never seen a ball smell out the pocket like this. Get it close and it will carry the rest deadly pin action from Brooklyn and back. Average 189 -201 in 4 leagues with various patterns and on oil you cannot beat this ball. Have yet to throw under 200 with this. Hammer scores again with the nasty the only thing is if its dry or the shot is burnt up leave it in the bag however on league play and tournaments you have to have this in your arsenal.

nuthin better than a hammer By bowling boy from Gastonia, NC
Reviewed on: 5/23/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Monstrous hook, Best ball ever, Hits harder than hammer, Easy to control Cons:Hits like truck not hamer Best Uses:Pba experience, Every bowler, Dry or oily, Any ths Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This ball hits better than a hammer hits like a truck. Monsterous backend but very controlable, best ball ever. This ball is better than my 2 month old mission. I wish I had bought this ball earlier and so do you. There's not enough words to describe this ball. Has the best backend motion I recommend you too do the 4th layout shown in pic. This is excellent length with smooth backend. IMPORTANT CLEAN WITH EBONITE CLEAN AND DULL OR ANYTHING LIKE ACIDTONE AFTER EVERY TIME BOWLING. Hope you read that because that will keep the ball hooking more than new. Well thats about it take my advice and buy this ball. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

This ball is a monster!!!! By Cabby1979 from Maryland
Reviewed on: 2/6/2010 Verified Reviewer Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Great ball for all of you ladies and Gentlemen rolling a mean hook. Just got this ball drilled and first game I played I hit 5 strikes in a row with it. You really have to adjust the amount of hook though on this ball or you will come all the way across the pins for a gutter. Once you get the right speed and Rev down according to lane condition this ball flat out drives the pins. Medium to heavy oil lanes break this baby out!! If its dry switch to a medium Hook ball(Resin). New Hammer fan for life... Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

"The Nasty" By BassMan from San Francisco, CA
Reviewed on: 7/21/2010 Verified Buyer Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend When I first used "The Nasty", it's name is very appropriate. The reaction of the ball is just great, it's such an ease to bowl with. Just let "The Nasty" do it's thing, you don't have to fight it, it will break at the end with great volacity and power. Great color, works well on medium to heavy oiled lanes and pretty good on dry ones. Years back I also had Hammer "Rhino", so I know I'm getting a good quality ball. I'm glad that I chose the Hammer Black Widow "Nasty". Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Great Ball By Chuck from Chandler, AZ
Reviewed on: 1/26/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great backend, Carrys great Cons:Need to add surface-2000 Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend 1st night, ball wanted to "squirt" out too far with only moderate excess speed. I took the surface to 2000 Abralon, and next night shot 720, (I'm a 204 Ave.) Ball still had the great backend, but was much more controllable. I would definitely recommend this ball, especially to those that like the Widow Bite. (It's like the Bite on Steroids). Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Great ball as expected from the Hammer l By Russell from Aruba
Reviewed on: 8/19/2010 Verified Buyer Pros:Excellent Length, Hits hard wo crashing Cons:Haven't Found Any Yet Best Uses:Medium to heavy oil Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Had the ball set up for length without much flare. Easy to throw from extreme outside starting from far left (RH) to a much straighter shot just by changing angle of rotation and revs. Ball hits hard on all lines. When flattened out for spares, it holds the line true. On dry lanes a lot of speed is needed to keep it on line but on medium oil it can still be made to run long without muscling it. I'm always looking for a long reactive ball and this one fits the bill excellent. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
