Title: Any Nirvana / Vandal comparisons yet?
Post by: GlobalDestruction on September 20, 2015, 11:04:46 AM
Just based on what the language being used to describe the Nirvana I wanted to see if anyone has been able to compare it to the Vandal yet?

Im guessing the Nirvana will be much stronger. Mine came in Thursday. The Vandal is meant to be a step down from the HP stuff. More user friendly on a variety of conditions versus some of the big hooking stuff in the higher price point.

The Einstein would probably get a close reaction to the Vandal. I love my Einstein and use it regularly for league without having to make big moves or worry about the ball getting me into trouble like i would say the Nirvana or other Hp stuff that is meant for heavy oil.

I've been throwing my Nirvana on a regular basis since receiving it 2 weeks ago, and I must say it actually compliments my Vandal quite nicely. Similar overall ball motion as the Vandal, just a touch closer on the breakpoint. The Nirvana is extremely versatile too, as I have used it on multiple conditions with a high degree of success. Light oil- medium oil....medium - heavy oil. You name the pattern and so far I've noticed there is a very playable/repeatable line to be found for it. The first game of my second set ever with the Nirvana was a 300 game while mind you that was on a medium oil volume at best.

Release date is tomorrow for this wonderful piece and I highly recommend picking yours up. If you like the Vandal, (which quickly became my benchmark ball), you'll love the versatility of the Nirvana!!
