has anyone polished a bite yet of so how much longer does it roll and is the reaction as strong on the back end?

I would be afraid to...:p It already has a rediculous backend. It may serve for people who have it drilled strong and earlier.

even tho ionly bowled 3games with my bite i love the power and backend reaction but it was rolling a little to early for me with box finish

had a friend get one drilled over the weekend and he said it was reading to much in the midlane so he polished it. now he says he likes it a lot better. ball hits like a ton of bricks too.

drw02-Izzat a skid/flip for a low track layout? If it is,that layout needs lotsa oil to work. Don't confuse an early read with a fried/dried out lane. Since you polished the ball I'm wondering if you'll still get the big backend on oil now.
BTW-Those fingerholes make my fingers hurt just looking at them. Who stuck the grips below the surface of the ball? Ouch.

the ball stored the energy realy well being polished and came back well but went a lot lot longer than planed, the finger inserts arent lower they are level and the ball fits like a glove one of the best fitting balls ive had
the bite hits the pins SO HARD , i think im going to put the bite back to box finish and use it fo tourneys as the two centers i bowl at are way to dry for it
its another great ball in the widow range, i also love my clear widow that ball throws the pins about more than any spare ball ive had before

I kept mine OOB finish Drilled it 5X51/2 kicked the Cg out to the right. Played 18-2 and destroyed the pocket.
Second game went 15-5 and destroyed the pocket.
Third game went 20-10 and destroyed the pocket.
I had an 18 board shot with a very heavy concentration of oil from 20 - 9.
Don't think I am going to polish this one.

its the all purp driiling for a long arc ve never got on well with skid snap drillings ( 2many revs = 2much angle into the pocket = lots of corner pins for me)
