Complete NV

How close is the Complete NV to the Total NV for those of you that have both?

Complete has midlane, I don't think the Total has very much midlane. While I would say the backend reaction is very close to the same. I would say  it is a good 3 to 5 boards stronger than the Total on a THS. The Complete really showed its colors to me on the Scorpion pattern. When I was playing about 13 at the arrows with the Total,I would be at about 18 with the Complete. To me the Complete is a better all around ball than the Total, but you still have to take extra good care of it.

Thanks tdub. I haven't used a Ebonite ball for awhile then last week I used a friends Total Nv and shot a 645. So that got me interested in Ebonite again so I was looking at adding a Total or Complete, and a NVS and NVD. I do regular maintance on all of my equipment. So that isn't an issue. Please let me know of any other combinations that everyone has.

For me and a lot of people the NVS was a terd. Not saying that no one matched up well with it, it just seemed that it was not a ball that many people cared for. So I'd be careful about buying one. It actually turned me off from getting the Complete NV only after throwing my friends Complete did I decide I wanted one. That friend hated his NVS as well by the way.

I didn't even consider getting a Complete NV but when I did I was very impressed. It is a very predictable ball for a pearl. It is also strong due to the core so don't think it is a ball you can use when they break down unless you have a ton of speed and hand.

I have used it on many medium sport and house conditions. It is a very versatile ball on medium conditions. From what I have seen and tested at the Ebonite Demo Days it is the best of the NV's in my opinion.
