Hey guys, got one of these new bad boys drilled up the other night and wow i am impressed!! info below:
Coverstock: Traxion Reactive 0.45
RG: 2.50
Differential: .051
Drilling: 2" pin. Pin placed 1/2" above ring finger and kickout 1/2" to the right. CG 2" directly below and MB in line with top of thumb hole and CG.
Surface Preparation: Box finish (4000 abralon, factory finish)
What I Was Looking For in this Ball and Layout:
After bowling a couple tournaments, I noticed that I lacked an aggressive ball that could turn if I needed it to in the oil. So I really wanted this ball for heavy oil and long patterns. What I didnt want was a ball that was going to flare like hell and over react. I needed a ball to get start reading the midlane and have a strong but smooth backend motion.
What I Ended Up With in this Ball and Layout:
With the Pin where it was, I thought this ball would be pretty aggressive down the backend. I played with this ball for the first time on medium oil. With the box finish, the ball was EXTREMELY smooth!!! I mean wow it just rolled really really nicely. Unfortunately, it compared with a couple of balls I had, but not to worry I started playing around with the balls surface prep. I sanded the ball to 2000 abralon, and I found what I was looking for. This changed the balls reaction a huge amount, and I was able to get inside and bring the ball back. It read early, which is what I was looking for, and the backend reaction was strong but very predictable. The flare lines are fairly closed together as well, which means it should be easy to control.
I am very excited to see the Complete NV is so sensitive to surface changes. This will allow me to have 2 maybe 3 balls in one because Ill be able to play with the surface to get it to read and roll, read and hit like a truck or calm it down with its box finish and use it on medium lanes.
Although this is only a really new ball in my bag, it already has its sights set on being my favourite!!!
