Nemesis
« on: January 03, 2005, 11:40:56 PM »

I was thinking of buying a Nemesis and was wondering if I could get some feedback from people who own this ball.  I am a down and in bowler, with a high track, and high speed.  Any help would be appreciated.

I've one and believe it's more than it's weight in gold! (Performance exceeds price!!!!!!)

Pin right and above ring with weight hole kept in OOB condition.  Ball has a very strong arc and does well med - oily lanes.  Doesn't overreact/jump (at least for me).  I throw with avg-above avg revs and 15-17 mph.  Every now and then leave a 10 pin but adjust by moving a board.

Great ball for the $

HTH,

I have a nemesis, but it gets into its roll very late. With my high speed it love to blow though the break point. The ball that is simular to it is the monster bruiser, and with high speed, it gets into the roll much sooner and reads the breakpoint smother. I am selling my nemesis if interested and want to try it out for cheaper.

A teammate of mine just picked one of these up off of someone on here. We both went and threw it for the first time last night. I'm more of a down and in player myself than he is. I found the ball was a bit too strong for the very little oil which we were seeing last night, so down and in wasn't an option for us really. I was forced to swing it a little more, and was impressed with the reaction. We both threw it well, however it did seem prone to problems carrying for both of us. However, i wouldn't let that discourage you from purchasing the ball, because it was just one night throwing the ball. Overall, I was impressed with the ball and it's movement. I have tried Big B in the past, but wasn't a fan. This ball really changed my impressions on them. Hope I was able to help.

Compared to my SmashR the Nemesis rolls a lot later. The SmashR gets into a roll sooner and has more kick in the back. I put some shine on the Nemesis and it is the ball I use when the lanes are fried.

Fried, Burned, or Dry, something like that.

That is the starnge thing about it, I was expecting the Nemesis to do that, and after I drilled it 2L I just didn't get what I was expecting out of it. So I drilled up a SmashR 2L and got much more than expected. Since I drilled up the SmashR I went from 237 in league (using a bruiser) to 242 and that was after 13 weeks of 4 games a week, so I am pretty much happy with that ball. And the few times I have been on dry, the Nemesis has matched up so much better than anything else I own. I almost feel like it reacts more like a urethane would than something reactive. Only good thing about the ball is it does carry well.

Memesis for dry??? What kind of dry are you talking???
Because mine is actually stronger than the Smash. Not the strongest ball in the bag, but definitely NOT a dry lane ball. Ever.

I've polished mine up a lot - because it was burning up when in slightly dull condition. Haven't tried to throw it in box condition at all. don't think I could!
