I spent good money on a no mercy only to find out that the ppex i already had is a better ball. my 10 dollar of ebay ppex is a good 5 -10 boards stronger and hits and carries better too.
    I bowled with the both of them today on 2 different shots. The shots were probably a good 10 to 15 boards differnt in area where i was playing. One shot i stood 30 and played to 7 and the other i stood 17 and played to 7. The no mercy was begging for mercy on both shots. I could strike with it ,but the look to the pocket carry and hit were so much better with the ppex. i had to really be slow with the nm where the ppex i was able to shoot normally and if i threw it as slow as i threw the nm it was a nose dive. I would imagine that all balls are rated at oob and the nm is supposed to be a much stronger, ball ,not in my hand.
