Black Widow...small midlane
« on: October 19, 2006, 02:10:14 AM »
I saw someone say the defining characteristic of this ball is little midlane.

True?

In our area which has a lot of friction in the midlanes anyway...the ball is tearing em up..

Is this why?

Even with my BW sanded to 2000 it barely reads the midlane.  This ball has absolutely no problem getting through the heads and my house has a fairly dry shot.

On my longer shot(43-45ft) with a 1x1x1 piece of tape on my axis, I can see that this ball(at 500 grit!) dosent even flinch untill it's at least 40ft down the lane depending on where I'm aiming(how early it hits the dry) I usually play in around 10ish and it dosent pick up till around 45ft.
That is assuming Im not throwing it slow and digging into it to get more angle, it seems to depend alot on speed, as I can get it to flare A TON, talking 12-13 inches on a really long shot
hope that helps.
I'm going to try and get a vid of it friday night (with tape on the axis) if I'm not doing anything...

The ball does seem fairly long and angular for a solid.

But the No Mercy looks longer!
