I am off to get my Black Widow Bite. I am planning to get the All Purpose drilling.
Arsenal will be:
Black Widow Bite OOB or 2000 as 1st ball unless heavy oil.
Hawgzilla dulled with strong drilling for heavy or when BWB not enough.
Toxic and Cherry Vibe polished for lighter conditions.
Gamebreaker OOB to go longer when BWB reading too early.
On the rack: BW, BWP, Hawg, Razor Blade and Track Kinetic

I love seeing this right here, makes me still believe the HZ is the strongest hooking Hammer ball to date.

I would try the BWBite at OOB first and see if has the reaction you want. If it reads to early take it to 2000 abralon and maybe a little polish

Got the ball drilled up today. It looks like a keeper.
Lanes were a little fried so can not give a fair assessment of the ball. All I can say is that I was playing pretty deep inside and was able to shoot a couple of 220s right out of the box after a few practice shots to get oriented.
I was sharing lanes with a two-handed bowler. First time I ever saw a good two hander in person. He shot a 258 and 268 at me as I was figuring out the ball. He probably throws in the 19-20 MPH range (at least 2-3 mph more than me). His carry was freaking me out.
Back to the Bite. I hope it will allow me to retire the Black Widow. I do not think I will be wanting to dull it down any time soon. It seemed very strong!:D

Glad you liked it, but I bet you'll like it even more on freshly oiled lanes. Let us, or me know how it rolls on freshly oiled lanes.

Also let us know how it compares to your BW, BWP and HZ! I was looking to pick up a HZ for heavier oil with a lot of carrydown.

Back from the lanes. 3 games with BWB in league. I was not adequately warmed up when I started and threw 180, 192, and 254. Still searching for line I really like. Kept moving left and was playing 24 with feet and 15-16 at arrows with breakpoint around 8 by the 3rd game when things started clicking.
Hard for me to compare balls since it is all about the drilling with similar balls. The way I have my BW and BWB drilled up (both all purpose with pin right between and below the fingers and Cg kicked out to right with mass bias pretty much stacked from the CG) I estimate that the BWB is stronger on the back by a couple of boards.
My BWP is drilled to go longer and stronger so very difficult to compare. BWP is presently on my rack in music room. BWP has been very sensitive to changes in oil and hard to stick with through an entire series for me.
My Hawgzilla dulled is going to read about the same and cover perhaps a couple more boards than the BW because Hawgzilla is drilled stronger. I think the BWB and HZ compare very similarly with my drillings and coverstock dulling on the HZ. (I was playing very similar line tonight to the one I do with my HZ).
The BWB is going to replace my BW very easily. It is a little stronger and a little more angular with the all purpose drilling. What I like is BWB is predictable in same way that BW is predictable.
This was really maiden voyage with BWB. This week will tell a lot about the Bite.:rolleyes:
