Total NV Review

So, this is the infamous Total NV (New Veener) from Ebonite.

This is the only ball to use the Traxion Reactive 0.30 coverstock. Good for Medium to Heavy.

I have this ball but it’s second hand as a test ball in Indonesia. In the Philippines, this ball cost around $200 or P10,000 brand new when it first arrived. A lot of bowlers tried it and a lot are satisfied. Why? It’s strong actually. I personally like this ball. And I know the ball is too good for my skills. (Yes, I suck at bowling).

So this ball also uses Symmetrical Mass Bias core. What does that mean?

Symmetry in common usage generally conveys two primary meanings. The first is an imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically-pleasing proportionality and balance; such that it reflects beauty or perfection. The second meaning is a precise and well-defined concept of balance or “patterned self-similarity” that can be demonstrated or proved according to the rules of a formal system: by geometry, through physics or otherwise. (www.wikipedia.com)

So basically, the core, when it’s asymmetrical, it’s not balance. The core is not in equal if you cut it in half. I may be not the perfect bowler but this is what I understand.

This ball also opens a whole new drilling option. The instructions came with the ball. (I lost it)

Drilling Options A, B and C. The only drilling I remembered is drilling option A which is long and strong.
