I see you are 550-600 RPM meaning you are higher than the highest guy on tour (Belmo), but I don't know your speed to know if you are matched up, slightly rev dominant or strongly rev dominant. Not really enough info in your profile to help you out.
In general, the way you adjust high rev players is adding in balls with different diff values, not RG values. The diff. in the Nomad is exactly TRIPLE the Neptune. It will certainly come back, but you'll be standing in the next area code and they won't play off each other at all. You need an Illusion or Grand Illusion (preferred) to bridge the gap. That set up in diff. #'s would look like this:
Neptune .018
Grand Illusion .041
Nomad .054
In this example, there is a logical step-up process to follow. Then adjust with a balance hole, then the surface on the Grand to make it split the Neptune and Nomad for the shape you want on the lanes.
Also, if you have read the Nomad is longer and flippier, then you are getting BAD information. That ball, with that much diff and flare starts FAST on the lane (more flare = earlier hook).
The reason it's a favorite here is how quickly it reads the pattern and then how assertively it makes a strong arcing move. It's not flippy at all, although a weakly drilled one thrown through a puddle into dirt dry lanes could start to look that way. Then again, if you see that pattern a CELL fits better there anyway.
