Tot NV vs Blk Widow
« on: May 07, 2007, 01:02:21 AM »
Can anyone describe the difference, if any between these two balls if drilled the same?

Inverted,

Do both yours have similar drillings and the stock surface (as it came out of the box)?

I am asking because I would have expected a slightly different reply. I haven't thrown either personally, but have seen them in some unskilled hands and much fewer skilled hands. I still haven't yet settled on my feelings towards either of them, except most people LOVE both. Just curious ... Thanx!

my bw was drilled almost the same as my tnv.both balls made it down the lane easy and had/has a big backend move but the tnv has a better mid lane read.I think the widow carried slightly better but I have'nt owned both balls at the same time.one thing I like about the tnv over the widow is the color/pattern on the tnv is easier to see how the ball rolls over the black cover on the widow.fwiw

I guess it just depends on rhat you're looking for reaction wise. The BW went 40 ft and made hard left turns into the pocket on a fresh shot for me. Really struggled in carry down to make the turn. The TNV had a more of a midlane read and hard arc off the break point and was more consistant in a variety of conditions.

I didn't play around with the BW and left it in oob conditiom. The TNV is back at oob after spending some time at just about every surface you can think of..
