Don't have either, but based on the description, the Ultimate Nirvana may be a little better choice, due to the added length.

For me, the Nirvana isn't nearly as early as a lot of heavier condition balls,  so, really, it depends on just how low your speed is. If you're really on the slower side, you may want to go with something cleaner up front so that the ball still has some energy left down the lane. Also, what part of the lane do you want to be able to play? That will influence what ball you should choose as well.

I would also recommend the Ultimate Nirvana.  For the me the original Nirvana was very smooth.  The Ultimate will give you a little more downlane motion

I am 65 years old, lower rev with slower speed and I use a Nirvana with box finish for fresh longer patterns with great results.  I have it drilled 3.5X5X3 which gives me a great reaction on longer patterns with good pop on the back end.  I am getting the Ultimate Nirvana soon and can't wait to see how it compliments the Nirvana.

I think that the Nirvana would be a great choice. It was designed to help lower rev players get more hook.

I'm wondering if someone can give there opinion regarding drilling options for my Jackal Carnage. I am a down in in player, carry mid 205+ on a THS. I have always had my balls drilled with a long and strong layout. I am up the back and usually around 1st arrow. The house I bowl in say they use 25 units of oil 42 ft.. heavy oil in the center of the lane. When they start to break down and I move left and hit say 10 to 7 I start leaving the 2-4-5. I'm thinking about the midlane hook & backend drilling layout. I just don't want it to start rolling out or start leaving weak ten pins. Any help would be appreciated.

Just an update, I took my Storm Crux Pearl and took the polish off and sanded it to 1000 siaair, Wow what a hook monster ! I think I will wait on getting a new ball.
