REVIEW
Since the Silver Streaks were one of my favorite balls and the Nomads use the Rotary core that was in the Silver Streaks I have been looking forward to these releases for some time.
The Nomad solid with the layout that I used is really clean through the fronts with a strong mid-lane reaction. Quite the reaction I was expecting. A very versatile ball motion that can be used on multiple types of lane patterns by many types of bowlers.
The Nomad Pearl was surprising. I was expecting a “skid/flip” reaction with this ball, but to my surprise the reaction on the back is very smooth for a pearl cover. It is still cleaner than the solid but gives a strong and very controllable move in the back.
These two balls compliment each other better than any 2 releases I have seen in some time. After starting in league with the solid, about the middle of the 2nd game the heads started to burn. I was able to change to the Pearl and stay almost in the exact same spot as where i started.
These two balls are great additions to the already great Roto-Grip line!
