For the Anti-TNVers (who aparently doesn't own one yet):
The TNV is very strong!! It holds energy like no other ball I've owned.......
I thought my Doom came in hard - it carries well but very jumpy, even after surface adjustments.
I thought my Strike Zones were perfect - if you can't swing it out and give it enough room due to an 8-board out-of-bounds, they're too strong and early.
I thought my Danger Zone was good - good for most conditions, but not the best carry.
I thought my Messenger Ti-Pearl was the best all-around ball ever made - but like my Strike Zones, it needs room to move, can't play it tight.
My TNV allows me to play straight up any board 12 to 5, and it snaps in with tremendous power, no power loss down the lane.
My TNV allows me to play deeper when I need oil, 25 to 35 out to around 10, still tremendous on the backend.
And my most favorite thing about the TNV, in a house where pins seem to be dead and on shots that are seemingly perfect constantly leaves 7s, the TNV crushes the pins WHENEVER it hits the pocket, the best carry in my arsenal.
(btw, my house shot is not typical, it's like walking into a tournament condition every week, low averages on every league. Flood 8 out, burnt track, lots of carrydown - nothing seems to move. So far my best balls here have been the TNV, Apex Aggression and Vortex III TPS - ALL Ebonite)
