Breakpoint Shape:  Extreme Mid-Lane & Backend

Personal Ball Reaction:  Must get to friction if throwing with speed.  Continuous sweeping arc and "rolley" backend but start it in oil.  Good for opening up angles into friction.  Does not seem to over react unless you completely miss release angle or launch speed.

Breakpoint Shape:  Aggressive Backend

Personal Ball Reaction:  Black Widow Tour.  This is a Tour Version of a Black Widow.  Slower Backend, more controllable on dryer backend conditions.  More sensitive to speed and hand position.  Good continuation if the lane is providing the backend angle.  Likes open angles through oil to friction. Needs friction to shape!  Ball likes to roll heavy to generate carry.  Will roll forward instead of over react.
