The Web Pearl joins the Black Widow 2.0 and the Web MB in Hammer’s Upper Mid Performance line. It uses the same symmetrical Spheroid core shape and Aggression Pearl coverstock combination as the 2019 version that came out of Ebonite International’s Hopkinsville factory. The differences between the 2021 version and the 2019 version come in the color scheme and the factory finishing process.
