I am a complete ball whore.....I buy probably buy 5-10 balls a season every season!!!.....Multiple companies to try a lot of things...but on any given day I can pull out my trusty Nomad and score better than anything else I buy...It was my "Hyroad"
I swear there is no comparison ever! THS, Nationals Shot, almost anything.....Change surface and go.....Ive thrown everywhere between 1000 and 4000 polished, the ball just works.
Ive been struggling this season badly, missing a lot of weeks due to work, game just not crisp! Guess what happens, I pull out the old Nomad and the score come easy......
Can someone beg for a remake....not a hysteria....a real remake!!!
LOL....just had to vent....
-
It's probably cuz of the year they were made. All of those 2008-2010 balls have got to have super covers...yeah there were a few duds like the solid dimension...
But yeah there are multiple guys out this way who feel the same.
If we go could go back I'd buying a bunch of that product line!!!

I never had a nomad, but I can relate. Every now and then you get that ball that you will NEVER get rid of because it still works. The only ball that i have in that category is my Rising Star. It seems like when I am lost, most of the time I can pull this ball out and shoot a good game. Hopefully these pieces will last, because even if their is a remake, it's still not the same ball.

They keep making one of my favorite balls. :) (Black Ops is the nut)
I'm in love with my Night Hawk. Have one sitting NIB and will score a couple more. Same way with the Ops and I have a feeling I am going to pick up at least one more Dream On with a lot of surface and more aggressive drilling.

I still throw a 2d, theory, critical theory, prodigy...etc!

Well, that's a great thing!!

RG just came out with a remake of the Critical Theory. I always wanted one of those so I'll probably be picking one up. I have a Theory and Infinite Theory and love both of those.
Agreed, the Nomad is just a benchmark piece that you can use practically on anything and feel comfortable with. I love taking mine to tournaments. I also have a Night Hawk that I love, which can be a benchmark ball as well. My teammate uses his Night Hawk religiously. So much so that he gave me his first generation Hawk, and I've been tearing up the lanes with that!
The Messenger, much like the Nomad has always been a "get-out-of trouble" ball for me as well. Funny how some pieces just fit you and you can never put them down.

I have to agree the RG Rising Star is a very special ball. That's why I have one still in use and one NIB in the closet.

I still have my Critical Theory and the Nomad Dagger. Even though I just got rid of a lot of older stuff (donated to my PSO to be used in 2 high school bowling programs), there was no way I could get rid of those 2 balls. The Dagger works well when I want something slightly weaker and smoother than the Sigma Sting and of course the Critical Theory is great when I need something more angular on the flood.
The Rising Star is a ball I wish I didn't sell. That ball is special and loved what it would do on lower volume.

The solid nomad didnt impress me so much..now the nomad dagger was phenominal for me. I would had used that thing forever if I could have, but I left for the Army and sold off all my stuff.
