Nemesis vs SmashR
« on: July 18, 2004, 11:48:05 PM »
I've been reading that the Nemesis is a replacement for a SmashR. What differences, if any, are between these balls? Also, for a medium condition, What type of surface would you use? (for a tweener type)

Thanks,
Buck

One difference is that the SmashR was a dulled/sanded pearlized PK 18, while the Nemesis is supposed to be a solid PK 18, I believe. Solids will always roll differently than pearls, even when they are at the same finish.

The core shape is very different.

How this all plays out will await actual ball testing,

I have seen the Nemesis in action in my sport league on a 42 feet pattern with pretty good volume.  It appears to roll considerably earlier than any Smash/R that I have ever seen in use.
