Title: Who has tossed an NV?
Post by: Hogsharley on December 20, 2007, 05:19:12 AM: I'm looking for anyone who has thrown the orignal NV. There are no reviews available for it. I have an opportunity to pick one up and I'm deciding if I should. Any feedback would be appreciated. What should I expect with this ball? I know the ball probally isn't worth $300 but is it worth $150?

It's a nib 14# x-out. The cg is to the left side of the pin/mb line. Good pin and top #'s. I toss 15#'s but was willing to drop in weight to give it a try.

I'm seeing a mixed bag of responses here. Some say good for heavy oil, some say good for light to medium. I've personally never seen one thrown. I just see them go for big $$'s on ebay. I figured it wasn't a bad price.

For myself I like it better then the Total NV. It is sharper off the breakpoint and seems to be more forgiving. Can really open up a lane with the NV. As good as this used one is I would love to get my hands on a new one. As good as this ball is, its an absolute shame that ebonite did make this ball available so everyone could have had a chance to throw it, without paying a small fortune.
