More medium to mid heavy house shot. I would considered myself a lefty power stroker, normal line will be from 10 to 5. I do have a BW and doing doing with it too...

I own both balls as well and since you already have a BW I would say to go ahead and get the TNV

the BW and NM from hammer seem to only differ in the core of the ball.  I've thrown a NM that was drilled nearly the same as my BW and the reaction was nearly the same.  the NM was a little stronger but i didn't notice any kind of drastic change.  I just moved a board or two left and moved my target a little down the lane.  I actually have a similar style to the way you bowl as well (power stroker)  and i saw both balls have strong mid lane action and good motion on the back of the lanes.  the NM is a little more speed sensetive, take too much off and your going way left as opposed to going straight through the nose like the BW does.  either way I say try something new and get the NV.  All in all each of the balls are good balls just personal opinion i guess.

I'd say go with the TNV. I've had the black widow and currently have a No Mercy.
If you don't have the right drill on the mercy you will be disapointed. I'm a lefty also and like to play just a little inside of where you do. I have my no mercy with the #6 drill and have had some success with it on shorter patterns. I have a bud who is a fellow lefty and he has the TNV and it looks good in his hands. The only thing he had to do with it was take the polish of so it was a little more predictable. I'm thinking about getting one also. 2cents

I have a black widow drilled with the pin under cg out at 45* and just got a tnv drilled pin up mb right about 1 inch from the thumb, the bw is atleast 5 boards less on the backend than the tnv.  I would say go with the tnv.
