DYNO..
The Punisher overall is much longer and cleaner than the Nemesis, but with much more backend. To give you a better idea, on the same condition with same label drillings, the Punisher will be easily 5-7 feet longer than the Nemesis and a more defined backend reaction. As far as the covers are concerned, the Punisher has the "tamer" N'Control cover whereas the Nemesis has the extremely popular Powerkoil 18 (same cover used on alot of there Zone series balls such as Danger Zone and Time Zone). To answer your question, YES...the Punisher has a weaker cover hence the reason for the added length and stronger backend reaction.
