Nexus Solid *F ( P + F )

Releasing November 2011, the Nexus F (P + F), is Brunswick’s newest high performance ball. To explain the name of the ball; the first additive F is for Formula, the additive P is for Projection, and the final additive F is for Friction. These new additives are the next big thing in bowling. If the length, mid-lane, and backend reactions can be controlled, then the ball motion will always will be spot on. The friction additive will become extremely clear when you this throw this ball, because it hooks. The P-additive gives this ball plenty of push to make it down lane, but not too much push, because it always has an aggressive down lane reaction towards the pocket. My Nexus saves all its energy during through the mid-lane to then display a quick response from friction to the pocket. The engineering of this ball will allow all bowlers the consistency everyone is looking for in a bowling ball. The Nexus F (P + F) should be your next bowling ball.

· My Nexus is drilled pin above the bridge.

· I throw this ball on fresh house shots with medium to heavy oil.

· The out-of-box surface works extremely well with this ball.

kong,

I'm having a difficult time following this, but it sounds like you roll the ball end-over-end quite a bit.

When the lanes are freshly oiled, what part of the lane do you play? Inside of 10 board? Outside of 10 board? My guess is that although they are freshly oiled, you're playing outside where there isn't much oil to start with. That's the only thing I can think of that would make this particular ball burn up. It has been the easiest solid to get through the heads that I've thrown, but I'm playing deeper where the oil can help.

If that is the case then a little polish may help you. If I could see you with my own eyes (and the lane condition) I could fix the ball for you within a few shots. That's the only challenge with a forum. Is there someone you know that's good at reading ball reaction?

I've tried several areas on the lanes, anywhere from 1'st arrow to between 3'rd and 4'th arrow. When I move inside and pitch it right the ball won't recover and when I move right the ball seems to hook and quit. The first oil line is about 1 inch outside the thumb and fingers and the ball flares around 5 inches or so. My PAP is 4 1/2 inches over and 1/2 inch up and my ball speed is 15 - 15.5 mph. Also I would mention that I don't loft the ball at all.

kong,

I'm thinking with your PAP and going pin up you should try tweaking the surface to between 1000-2000 and then try a small swing shot (maybe 12-13 at the arrows) and see if that doesn't help.

My PAP and yours are basically the same, and on solids drilled pin up I can get away with more surface than other guys as long as there is some head oil. I took my Wild Card way down to 500 before bowling Nationals and had a great look with it. Most house shots don't have that kind of volume, but maybe the 1000-2000 range will give you something better.

Just curious, what lane surface do you bowl on?

I bowl on Synthetic lanes. They are maybe 5 years old and they just put in new heads. I'm not sure what the brand name of them is but I've heard there are different degrees of friction on the synthetic lanes and these are the higher friction lanes. I was hoping when they put in new heads I would be able to get the ball through the heads better but that is not the case. When I do have a good shot I usually throw between 2'nd and 3'rd arrow and send it out to about 8 or so. Anything right of that is gone. And when the lanes start to open up I just gardually move in deeper and throw a tighter line. Lately for me anything inside 2'nd arrow won't hook 2 boards so I have to move right to get some kind of angle so I can carry.

I'd try the surface around 1000-2000 to see if the ball starts reading the lane. If it does, but then quits (rolls out) then there probably isn't enough head oil, and making the surface slightly weaker will help. Weaker should be 500-1000 then a little polish.

Surface changes should be done in increments. If you go from extreme dull to extreme shiny it will be tough to get an accurate read. I will send a PM with more info.

I tried it again tonight with a lot of polish and the ball did nothing for me. I will try taking it to 1000 and just a small amount of polish next time and see if that helps. The onlt thing I could use again tonight was the Cell Pearl again. It must be the block in that ball or something because it gets into an earlier roll in the midlane and fiinishes hard.
