Shift as comapred to the Complete NV

Copied from the Ebonite section


Maybe these two balls are apples and oranges, but both are suppose to be long and strong. I probably have 50 games on the Shift and maybe two games on the Complete NV, but the ball fit great and it was an easy Christmas tree pattern for the comparison.

I think that the review that Jhartwig 24 stated that he had 10 pin carry problems. I got lined up on this shot fairly easy and getting to the pocket strong was not a problem. But after two games, I only carried the 10 pin once. I switched to the Shift a few times during those games and the Shift carried the 10 pin consistently when I got the ball to the pocket. The Shift was stronger so if I didn't watch my speed I'd leave a 4 pin.

The Complete NV was a much smoother ball than I had expected but it did make a great spare ball. I threw it at al my spares (except 6 and 10) and it seemed to be very even and not jumpy and converted the spares easily. Just did not kick out the 10 pin when I got to the pocket.

I'll be fair with the ball and use it again. It reads the lane well and gets to the pocket easily. But as Jhartwig 24 stated, I made the adjustments, but the 10 pin still would not carry.

I had the EXACT same problem so I sold the piece of crap ball (I dont know why I got an ebonite in the fist place haha must have been a weak moment) and punched up a Gravity and wow those balls are like night and day the gravity is about 10 boards stronger that the CNV the CNV is a HORRIBLE ball IMO
