Nomad solid, Reign, or Hammer Jacked
« on: January 11, 2010, 06:10:20 AM »
I'm looking at drilling one of these three balls is one better than the other.

I know about the Reign, its the strongest pearl ball I have ever thrown, and its great on carry down no wiggle what so ever.

 I have two hybrid balls(AMF Code, and Storm Secret Agent) and the Reign is stronger than both of those balls.

 Hope this helps.

Reign will be the hardest on the backend and generate the most skid up front and the biggest hook on the backend

Jacked Hammer will be the biggest overall hook, and start to break the earliest with its OOB finish,
with surface brought up or polish added it will move the breakpoint down the lane and give a little more skid/flip type reaction

Nomad solid is going to be in the middle of the others
it still hooks a lot, and if you go with a strong drilling pattern it will really move a lot but a little less than the Jacked Hammer and go down the lane a little longer than the Hammer
but earlier down the lane than the Reign and not have as much backend motion as the Reign

all of them are great mid priced balls, just really depends on what reaction your looking for

1 is not necessarily better than the other
just need to pick one to suit your style and reaction your looking to achieve

I have the Nomad and the Reign.  The Reign is all skid/flip.  The Nomad is more versatile.

So If I went ahead and got the Nomad and the Reign there would be enough difference in them to use them both.

very slight difference in overall movement between the Nomad and the Reign
just movement in a different part of the lane,
if your looking for a lot of difference in overall movement
look into something like
a Reign and a Mars,
or a Nomad and a Mars
or even a Jacked and a Mars
these will at least give you some more versatility
than just a Reign and a Nomad

the reign is stronger on the backend than the Nomad, but they are pretty close in overall movement
