The Taboo hooks thru the pin deck, smoother hook for me, I can miss right occasionally and if the ball speed is down will make it back to the pocket, I get a lot of pin action from this ball and I am a stroker I'm very happy with my Taboo, the Nano, is a lane specific ball, It all depends on how much hand you have, my teammate throws one, Great mechanics, overall solid game, the Nano opened up the lanes for him, however if he misses right or the ball speed is down split city, the ball grabs the dry and shoots left thru the head pin. IMHO, I see the ball needs heavy oil on factory finish, if you want to use on medium conditions, you might have to hit it with some polish. I haven't seen the Nano roll out yet. Good luck, Both choices are great bowling balls.
