Complete NV vs. Momentum: Similar or Different?
« on: October 18, 2008, 01:24:31 PM »
If anyone had a chance to throw both balls, are they both similar or different in terms of strong midlane and backend? I've read the reviews and videos of each ball and they seem almost alike. I got a chance to throw the Complete NV over the summer in my PBAX league and I was very impressed with how strong it was for a pearl ball; that seems to have almost the characteristics of a solid ball. At the time it was at OOB finish with pin above bridge and MB 2" from thumbhole, reved up very nicely and never seemed to die out in the backend even after several games. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to use it on a normal THS pattern.

So now I'm putting together a whole new arsenal for league (1st shift, wood lanes) this year and the CNV and Momentum are two balls I'm interesting in getting in mid-November. Here's how my arsenal will possibly look:

Noize or Kinetic Energy (Arc/Flip)
Complete NV or Momentum (Strong Arc)
Power Machine (Skid/Flip)

Basically, I want a pearlized ball that's nice and clean through the heads but still has a strong mid-lane arc and predictable on fresh oil. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I can't speak for the Complete NV, but the Momentum is an amazing piece of equipment. It does go a tad long before making its move, but its my second favorite ball right now, next to my X-Factor Deuce.

Thanks for the reply, pocketsmasher! I was hoping that the Momentum would be somewhat earlier than my Power Machine because of the lower RG.
