NVD surface change
« on: December 28, 2008, 09:13:52 AM »
I am somewhat new to this site and have read a lot of informative things. So now I have a question on my NVD. Mine is oob finish, and on med-heavy oil I can't get the reaction I want. So I thought about bringing the surface to 2k abralon and see if I get a better track. Please any help or suggestions and also the best method for using the abralon pad. I assume just a smooth and equal hand rub all the way around works. Thanks

I took mine down to 1k abralon it now is a much better ball hooks off the planet compared to even cell with a stronger drilling.

The Amb Particle and NS2 might be the only stronger oil ball's I have ever thrown, I am starting to like it now. OOB it was too much back end for as straight up as I prefer to play, it would have been great that way for high rev guys that like to swing the entire lane.

I have one and it hooks a ton on heavier conditions. I have not been able to use it in league yet because the lanes are not oily enough eventhough they oil them right before the league. Anything less than medium heavy the ball reacts like crap. I mean really crappy but on much more oil it hits and reacts like a monster. Thats the problem with alot of these strong balls is that they burn up if there's not enough oil and hits like crap.

I have mine at 1000 abralon dull and it hooks ALOT on house shots. It gets down the lanes fine as long as there's oil and has a ton of backend reaction. Hate to say it but it hooks more than my Cell overall and it has a similar drilling to mine and it's also at 1000 abralon. Pretty hard to use it all 3 games once the lanes starts to open up. I'm going to try mine again next week in league with a mini-review after that.

i was really kinda up in the air bout the nvd,and had actually planned on not using it any more.Friday night I accidently brought it with me to league and the first thing i did was hit it with my green scratch pad and some xxx ball cleaner.This took all the shine off and maybe brought the surface down to maybe close to 1500 i would speculate.
    I started out with it in warm ups and it hooked off the lane. I was leary about moving left as most of the time my stuff doesnt get back so i put it away,trying to play more direct with weaker equipment.I tried every ball i had cell gravity shift even my vg and i couldnt get any carry for a very miserable 140 game.
   Next game i figure what do i have to loose so i picked up the nvd and moved to 40 with the feet,hit 25 at the arrows out to 5 and this ball drove so hard to the pocket it was shocking.I know surface changes can effect the characteristics of the ball , but this change converted this ball from an ,I dont know if i am gonna hook and carry or not to a,yes i am gonna hook and hook alot and dont care if you like it or not ball.It was phenomenal .Stronger than my vg by 10 boards with consistent carry in about 2 minutes.I had a 4 pin a 10 pin and a 5 7split due to slower speed but i shot a clean 239 with it . just one game ,I know ,but the change in surface made such a difference in the ball i thought i should post. Nvd is back in the bag and i think for good this time.
