What does your sanded Black Widow compare to?
« on: December 02, 2006, 08:02:43 AM »

I'm thinking of getting a 2nd Black Widow... but dull to handle the heavy oil, something like 1000 grit.  If anyone here has their BW at such a surface, have you compared it to any other "oilers" such as the Infinite One or the bigger MoRich balls?

Thx!

not sure what to compare it to but I was not happy with the oob 4000 finish at all, took it down to 1000 and bam! can play a nice tight line, reads the mids and stores the energy quite nicely on wood or synthetics

I've got a 1000 grit Widow pin down, MB next to thumb, flare-increasing weighthole in thumb quadrant.  I popped the weighthole to help the ball make the corner a little better since the ball was a little hook stop for me at such a low grit, however, now with the hole this thing definitely still gets through the heads, checks slightly in the mids, and REALLY motors through the backend, very strong on the fresh, but not quite as strong as say an Infinite One, Awesome Hook, or my Threshold would be
