Tour Core + Widow Shape = Hammer Tour V1 Breakdown

In this video, Jayson Robarge reviews the Hammer Tour V1, the latest evolution of the Black Widow line — built for bowlers who love the Widow shape but need a smoother, more controllable option. The Tour V1 features a modified Widow core (2.48 RG / .037 Diff) and HK22 Aggression Hybrid coverstock, offering the perfect ball-down motion from stronger asymmetrics like the Maximum Effect or Paragon Shadow.
