O. Why do I recommend buying this bowling ball? If you are lacking in the hook category, the
Nexxus is a MUST buy. I bowl on synthetic lanes, and during carry-down I barely have
to move my feet or eyes. I believe this ball will automatically raise your average 5 or
more pins.
Special Information
P. How does this ball compare to another ball? This ball compares to my Alpha-Max. This ball
has a nice response to friction down lane. If I miss left with a shot, the ball slides just
enough to strike. Also, if I miss right, the ball does not hook too early, and the ball
recovers just enough to strike.
Q. What are the strengths of this bowling ball? Late Response to friction and Overall Hook
R. What are the weaknesses of this bowling ball? Versatility and breakdown
S. Oil Patterns used on:House Shot
T. How does this ball react on house patterns? This ball makes a strong move to the pocket
when the ball hits friction. If the lanes get too dry, this ball is notorious for leaving 10
pins. However, if you are able to make quick moves, you should never miss the pocket.
U. How does this ball react during transition? It reacts well, but if it gets too dry, the 10 pins are
tough to knock down.
V. When do I find myself using this ball? I use it on all fresh medium - heavy oiled house shots.
W. Additional Comments: I am seeing tremendous scores with this ball. I am on a current streak
of 4-700’s in a row. I have 5-279’s with this ball, but still looking for that 300. I
highly recommend this ball, because of the overall quality of late hook.
