My Black Widow Bite is the strongest ball I own, but sometimes the lanes are too oily (or maybe longer patterns) and the BWB just doesn't want to turn the corner.  I try slowing way down and putting much more hand in it, but I'm not comfortable making such drastic adjustments and my accuracy suffers.

I have the ball in out of box 4000 abralon and its drilled similar to Drilling #3 - Strong Layout for High Track, except the pin ended up slightly above the ring finger.

Is there a Hammer that would be able to turn the corner on heavier oil ?

I suppose I am generally medium speed, medium revs.

Thanks in advance.

First make sure your playing the best part of the lane.  If your playing on a THS then play closer to the oil/dry line.  

Another option would be to adjust the cover to a lower grit.  Bring the ball down to 1000 grit and see if that solves your problem.  If that's not enough then bring the cover down lower to like 500 grit.

If your really looking into getting a ball to handle the oil better then the original NM would be my choice.  The original NM has better mid-lane read than the Bite and would work a bit better on heavier oil.

If you want to stick with Hammer, perhaps you might consider getting the Anger and taking its coverstock to a lower grit.  It's a solid ball and is less expensive than the Widow or No Mercy series of balls.

Personally I prefer heavy-load particle balls for heavy oil.  My favorites from the past are the New Standard 2 from Lanemasters and the Reaction Arc from Columbia 300.  I also had pretty fair luck with the Fear Factor by Storm in heavy oil.  Good luck.

Anger at 1k pin under finger line if needed add a low weight hole in thumb quad, if that dont hook it aint the ball.

Thanks all for the helpful suggestions.

Oob on the bite is NOT 4k abralon, that is why it won't handle oil like you would like it to. 4k abralon and a mild drill, anything past my ring finger, tend to be great on medium for me and push past the break on heavier side of medium, leave lots of buckets.

So its not the ball, or the bowler its the surface.
