I've seen people have very good results with it.

Scoring better than I thought they knew how!

My first Nemesis was drilled 2E.  Typically, pin-under drillings don't work that well for me.  Combine that with the amount of flare that comes with a 4 1/2" pin-to-PAP distance, and you get a ball that can be *very* condition-specific.  However, it did work really well on conditions where I needed more of a hook-stop reaction.  This particular Nemesis worked best when taken to 600 and then polished with the Brunswick High Gloss, less so at 800 or 1200 smooth.

I just drilled another Nemesis the other day, with the 2L layout.  I took the surface up to 2000 smooth, to try to fit it between my Zone Classic and Punisher.  I've only thrown this ball once, but I think it will give me an option for a wider range of conditions than the first one did.

My friend has a Punisher with a 2E drill to it. A very lane-specific ball. When the lanes dry up or yopu are faced with a short pattern, this thing can rock the house. But the lane has to be dry enough, otherwise it will slip and be inconsistent, with erratic carry and a spasmic breakpoint, even with this early roll drill.

From what we have seen, you need some speed and revs (300+) to make it work. Slow strokers will not get happy with this ball, I think a pearl Power Groove should be a better selection.

i have a nemesis and the pin is next to the ring finger and the cg is in the center of my grip. the ball was left wetsanded 800 grit and i had brunswicks factory finish high gloss polish applied. i'm getting a great midlane move and a great backend reaction. i'm probably going to get a punisher in several weeks and will drill it the same but the coverstock preparation will be very different---wetsanded very fine( 4,000 grit abralon pad ), brunswicks rough buff finishing compound will be applied, and finally a coat of brunswicks polish.

I have a Nemesis drilled 1L, sanded 1500 grit. Can throw it from 19 out to 6; great midlane and backend reaction...
