My laptop is about to die so I have to make this quick. Anyone have an opinion on the black widow sting?

Several people in my league use them and have good results. Most of them are the higher rev players. It seems to have a really smooth back end and drive. It finished very strong through the pin deck. Most of the guys using it average in the 190s. Hope this helps.

I threw the Sting and after 6 months of throwing it, I promised myself I would never throw another Hammer again. I didn't like it at all. After every game, I watched my line shrink further and further into the middle of the boards until I couldn't get any roll out of it. I baked it, sanded it to 1k grit, redrilled it to a powerful set up and couldn't squeeze any movement out of it. The guy who works at the pro shop and my high school coach, as well as a certified coach at the alley couldn't figure out why the ball would not move. Maybe I got a dud, but my ball just would not move. I replaced it with a Rogue Cell and loved it to death. I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone.

i have a black widow sting and opposite to what SRG said i love the ball, its gets down lane and finishes hard in the backend, i had a normal pin up drilling on it to begin with but got it re drilled with the PBA Rico drilling, oh and do i love it i had to polish it becasue it was so aggresive, but now my major leauge on thursdays are using more oil i have to sand it again. all and all good ball, more backend hook than my mutant cell with the rico drilling on it aswell.
