 Between those three, the trap never enters the conversation. Either the taboo or nano, just depends on which company you like better. I would say the only difference is that the taboo is earlier and smoother with ridiculous continuation through the pins. I havent seen one burn up or roll out yet. The nano has a sharper backend transition, which can lead to the ball standing up on the backend sometimes if you dont get through it clean, but i would say it has a slight edge in total hook potential.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

jigsaw trap -- My opinion is trash --- Suppose to be heavy oil ball -- Not

The trap is not a heavy oil ball, so that is out. Taboo is smoother than the Nano, and will start earlier on the lanes, sometimes this is a more desirable reaction on heavy oil. The Nano is mostly all backend, it reads the midlane but the reaction comes in a very strong arc, almost a snap on the backend... obviously this reaction is not always desired on heavy oil, so its a personal preference between the Taboo and the Nano, the Trap is just not fit to compete with those 2.

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.

I'll "express myself". (I can tell you don't speak much English)

 

The Nano and Taboo would be the way to go.  Whatever ball motion you are looking for on oil will be covered with these 2 pieces and surface adjustments.
