Bite question
« on: January 30, 2008, 05:11:39 AM »
Will this ball work well on medium oil or does it hook to much for this?

If you play down and in with average speed, the ball may be too much for medium oil. If you play the middle of the lane with average speed it may be a good fit. If you have alot of speed, the ball should be good for anywhere you play.

Our house lays down somewhere between medium-heavy to heavy for a house shot.  A pretty good puddle in the middle, in other words.  The Bite on this fresh shot is still a monster, and makes a strong read in the midlane.  And don't worry, there is always PLENTY left for the backend reaction in my experience.

This ball allows me to be very aggressive and have no worries when sending it out on a swing shot.

If I had to recommend a ball for medium oil, the original Widow would be a better choice for an aggressive reaction than the Bite, in my opinion.  The original is still a beast on my pattern, just a little more lengthy with a similar backend motion.

at my house with new Anvilanes they were putting medium/heavy and the Bite was sweet.  handled carrydown great.  but too many people complained about too much oil, cause they couldnt hook it to the pocket, so they put a short light/medium xmas tree pattern and now the bite is a dud cause of not enough oil.  looks like im gonna have to mess with the coverstock/polish a little

my opinion would be to get the original widow.  the bite is too strong and if your house doesnt put out a decent amount of oil the ball will burn up ALOT!
