Nexus surface
« on: December 08, 2011, 02:03:38 PM »
Tonight I started out with the solid Nexus sanded to 1000 SIAAIR.  By the end of practice, about 8 shots, the surface was no longer dull and felt very slick.  Has anyone else run into this?

Do you wipe it off between shots? Sounds fairly normal that some lane conditioner would be on the ball, but don't let it sit there longer than necessary because it will soak into the cover.

I have heard that the Nexus, and some of the C-System Alpha-Max and Ulti-Max had issues with some of the coverstocks getting slimy.  I have heard this from a few people, not quite sure how true it is tho.

Having thrown every Brunswick ball since 2005, I have not noticed any of the covers getting slimy unless they are not cared for. EVERY bowling ball can get slimy if you never wipe it off, or clean it, or do any routine maintenance. I have a few balls with hundreds of games on them and they are still going strong.
 
Every 50-60 games or so have the oil extracted in the Revivor, and light resurfacing as needed. This applies to any ball out there and not just Brunswick products.

I am not sure if you would call the surface "slick", but it seems to go thru the breakpoint on some shots. Recently, I started with the Nexus Solid and switched to the Revolver Solid because of this. The results were alot better.

notclay and devil are right you have to take care of them.  I might not resurface my stuff but I do clean it.  I have a vapor zone and 3.5 that I will take to the grave with me.  I have never resurfaced them once just cleaned them on a regular basis.  Just take care of it and you will be fine.

 Unfortunately, Almost every dull ball on the market shines up now a days. Ever since the cell came up with the cover shine concept, manufacturers have tried to replicate this. Reduced oil absorption for longer life span of bowling balls. But here is the conundrum. High friction creating surfaces coupled with slower oil absorptions have started to create in effect a self shining problem. The important thing now is that a ball still have the ability to hook as it starts to shine itself up during a match. I hope this helps explain the problem I've noticed.
