Belive me and I am very Hammer Loyal.  I have tossed 300 with almost all the new releases and 800 with the Pearl.  I have a Bite and a Cell drilled exactly the same and the Cell is stronger and earlier than the Bite, Solid or Pearl.  

If your Bite was outhooking the Cell, the Cell was burnign up if the same player tossed both balls.  If two different players then your whole scenario changes.  I have a frined that tosses a T-Road Prl and he outhooks me by miles with any Bite Cell or any ball i toss.....

How does a pearl T road handle heavier oil than the BITE or CELL?  The only way I could see that is if the lane pattern was on the shorter side and the backends were flying.  A softer covered ball should always handle more oil than a harder covered ball.  Again that's on heavier oil.

I think instead of making your selection based on which ball is stronger you should pick which type of reaction characteristics you want.  The Cell is going to be smoother and earlier while the Bite will be a tad longer and more on the backend. Both balls will handle heavier oil with ease.

I'm finding out that a lot of bowling balls will handle heavier oil when the covers are brought down to a low grit. I have a Blue Vibe that handles heavier oil pretty dam well when it's at 1000 grit abralon.  The DOOM is another ball that can handle heavy oil when dulled.

i have not thrown the bw ,but i have seen quite a few. there is nothing no thats too strong,there arent many balls out that are as versatile as the cell with its oil handleing ability. if you drill it right this could very well be the only ball you throw. Imho the bwp is better than the bw but for versatility and oil you cant beat the cell.
