I have all three, all drilled pretty much identically (pin 5" from PAP above fingers, no balance hole), and all in box finish.
For me, the Copperhead is the earliest of the three, and hooks the most overall. It's about four-and-two stronger than the Rattler, although its strength is spread across the entire lane. My Copperhead gives me the smoothest reaction to friction of the three.
I've compared the Rattler and Python in other posts, but in a nutshell, the Rattler is clean through the front but more gradual as it hits the end of the pattern, while the Python is straighter through the midlane but more lateral at the break. On volume, the Rattler will outhook the Python for me by a few boards, but once the track breaks down, the Python will hook more overall because of how strong it reacts to the friction.

the question is do you get the diamond back over the copperhead i have the copperhead rea smooth controllable ball
I guess that depends on whether you can wait until November 9.
