I have a Black Widow Bite drilled Drilling # 3 on hammers website, a 4" pin to PAP. I Track relatively high, rev rate between 360-390. I really like the ball, but it goes to long to handle a huge amount of oil plus carrydown, and still hit. On fresh shots, it will tear the shot up. But on a heavier shot with less backend i was going to drill another more aggressive, earlier ball. But i thought a better choice would be the Roto-Grip Cell. I was wondering what you all thought

A 4" pin to pap distance drilling is still very strong, second only to a 3 3/8" drilling and will not be more than a foot or two longer and a board more back end.

The problem is the coverstock needs to be taken down to a duller state if you are going to bowl on heavy long oil.

You could buy the Cell and set it up this way and switch back to the bite when the shot opens up, or dull up the bite, I don't know what grit it is at now or I would recommend something.

The BWB goes longer and has more backend. The Cell hooks up earlier and has a smoother reaction.

I would say they hook about the same. Maybe the Cell a bit more, but pretty close to the same.
