The Bite doesn't come close to being the ball the Virtual is! The Bite does just that and the guys that I know that has the Bite, it doesn't have near the reaction as the Virtual. I've drilled both for people and the Virtual is very impressive! Just my $.02, Bruce

The Virtual IMO is a far superior ball to the BW Bite. I have owned and thrown both balls..

It will for sure handle more oil than the BW Bite and to me the carry of the Virtual was much better..

As far as the Virtual being a turd, I dont but that comment, sorry.. I have seen alot of people with different styles throw this ball and all have done very well with it..

Its also a very user friendly ball that can bu used on a variety of different lane conditions..

The Virtual is a very good ball.  The cover can be changed for your particular needs.  Some have found that OOB 4000 is spot on.  Some need to take it down & add polish & others just take it down.  There are so many good reviews on this ball.  I have one at 4000 & probably will take it down a notch after using one more time.  I highly doubt Labeef even has one or seen it thrown.  Like I said in a previous post, the ball is only as good (or turd) as the one throwing it.

I've owned both balls and I ended up trading in my Bite for a T-Road Pearl.  I like the smooth continuous arc of Storm balls, found the Bite had too much of a skid/snap reaction for my taste.  I also though the Bite needed much more oil than I usually see, while with a few adjustments (hand, speed, target) I can play the Virtual on almost anything but light oil or dry.  

On the other hand, there is a guy in my league who uses his Virtual on lane conditions I find too dry for my T-Road Pearl, so I agree with those who say a ball is only as good as the bowler who is throwing it.

VG is too close to the cell in oob, you will need to change surface and/or drilling to get the look you seek. Personally getting the Grand Illusion with a pin up drilling would give you exactly what you are looking for without the MB being a hit or miss deal.

The Bite is a good ball but a step down in power from the VG, i use the same drillings on almost every single high MB ball on purpose. Makes it easy to compare apples to apples, if you want the high end piece go with the VG and then polish it up.

I'll say this, by the few games I've bowled with my VG, its a MONSTER.  Has plenty of hook in OOB condition.   I'm leaving this ball as my heavy oil ball cuz it really gets down the lane but makes a nice strong move to the pocket and doesnt quit.   you can check out my video's of me throwing the VG on youtube by searching COOLLUVR4U1976.   And you'll see how much the ball hooks.   Also I have pics of the drilling i have on this ball on my bowlspace site.
