Comparing Nirvana to DV8 Thug Unruly
« on: January 10, 2016, 07:13:12 PM »
I won a Nirvana for a high game pot today. How should I use it to complement the Thug Unruly, which is currently the strongest piece in my bag?

The Nirvana easily by a good 4-6 boards.  :)

The Nirvana creates more friction and hooks several feet earlier.  It works well in situations  where there is plenty of oil or you need to smooth out wet/dry reactions.  Plan accordingly.

Punch it up with your favorite layout and save it for heavier shots... Especially sport oil, when they flood it?

My Nirvana surprisingly gets through the fronts and hits the corner pretty hard for a hook monster.  It should be a nice compliment to your Unruly when you want to see a similar amount of hook but a sharper motion on the back end.

What kind of drilling do you have on it? That would be exactly the type of motion I am looking for.

I believe that it is 60x5x40 with a pinner P2 hole to balance it out. 
That puts the pin above my bridge with the cg about half an inch right of my switch thumb and I have the surface at 4k to push it a little further down the lane as most of the surfaces in my area are pretty worn.
