Bite with same layout as Regular Widow
« on: March 19, 2008, 04:07:10 AM »
I was just wondering if anyone has laid out their bite the exact same as their original Widow and what the hook and overall reaction difference was. I know the ball is a lot stronger.

Both my solid and my Bite are drilled exactly the same as far as pin and mb. The solid's cg was kicked a little to the right, so the solid required a weight hole (on my axis), and the Bite does not have one.

Keeping the weight hole in mind, the two start at about the same length, and where the solid makes a hard arc, the Bite SNAPS. Definitely more angular and A LOT harder a move. For me the two balls are a difference of 6 and 3, and that's on the low side of the estimation.

Mine are the same also. My Bite is roughly 4-5 boards stronger, and can handle more overall oil. My BW Solid is a little sharper break point too.

My Bite is at 2000 abralon, and BW Solid is at 1000 w/polish too.

My solid is drilled 6 X 4 and it put the lin above my middle finger and the CG a inch right of my center line. The ball is very smooth and predictable for me. I think tomorrow Im going to do the bite the same way. Hopefully it will be as smooth, I know it will hook more. The ball is a beast

I laid mine exactly the same.  The biggest difference I see is in getting through the heads. My Bite will try and grad a little sooner.  If my BWB is stronger than I want I go to the BW.  I usually start with my BWB and go to my BW or BWP.
