BVP Nemesis questions
« on: February 28, 2006, 09:48:25 AM »
well guys my Nemesis (given to me for free was used) is gettin the holes filled in tonight, thursday night i'm getting it drilled (i've got the layout and know what to expect) and am really excited to get it.

Okay question number one.
If this ball is drilled really agressive is it a hooking monster or not really?
Okay question number two.
Is this ball meant to be more skid snap or archy, i've heard both?
Okay question number three.
I'm not putting finger inserts in this one but will have a thumb slug, now with out finger tip inserts is there any advantage/disadvantage that i should know about, it came because of shortness on money and the fact that i'm not really worried about any issues.

well thanks inadvance for reading and responding

Not a hook monster.  Should be a good med-heavy ball though.  Unless you drill it to be and you apply a good amount of polish, don't expect it to be snappy.  There's no cut and dry answer for the inserts.  You may find that you will have less lift and hate it, or you can be like myself and others and enjoy the cleaner release (and may actually gain some lift).  It will feel much different though, that's about all I can tell you.  You should enjoy the ball though.

In box condition (800 grit) it is well suited for medium to oily conditions, although it does not have a big roll potential due to the medium RG core.

Besides, being PK18, you can make this ball do almost anything. Polished and with a length drilling (e. g. 2L from brusnwick, pin above ring finger, CG stacked) it should be even make a snappy ball - although the box finish will not allow this. The medium RG saves energy well for the back end, that's what makes this ball basically so versatile IMHO.

Try it without inserts. You will probably feel uncomfortable when you are used to grips, and the fingers might ache. Give it a try, you still can have the holes drilled up for inserts later on.
