nomad@1000
« on: March 03, 2010, 12:38:18 AM »
If I sanded my nomad solid down to 1000 would it be close in reaction to a reign of fire?

no the reign of fire is much earlier and stronger. Although I have had my most success with a Nomad solid at 1000 abralon.

I just punched me a nomad and cracked the polish with 2000 abralon. Ball rolls very well.

I gave 1000 a try. This ball is a beast. It has a nice heavy roll to it.

Strikeordie,  did you put adjust the surface using 1000 abralon or 1000 sandpaper?  What kind of reaction change did you get from the OOB reaction?

1000 ab. The best way I can describe the reaction is a strong,steady hook. It doesn't overreact when it hits the dry. When it starts to hook, the motion seems constant. I have used this on a fresh med ths. Slighty heavy in the middle with some dry boards to bounce it off of. Box condition I used to have a little over under with it. Now I can start off deep and play that part of the lane by myself. Most bowlers in my leagues play more of a down and in shot.

I wish I would of bought another Nomad and put the surface at 1000, instead I drilled a ROF and don't like it like the Nomad....
