BTM Comments:

With the Complete NV, Ebonite has kept the same user friendly ball motion that both the Total NV and NVS offered. This NV offers a stronger ball reaction in the oil with the Traxion Reactive .045 cover. The core was modified slightly, giving us version 1B of the Spike Symmetrical Mass Bias design. This core/cover combination matched up best with our fresh medium pattern. The tester that had the most unbelievable reaction was Tweener. It literally didn’t matter where he had this one at the breakpoint. When he missed wide, it roared back and when he got it inside a pinch, it held the pocket. His ball speed and rev rate were a perfect match up with the Complete NV. Stroker and Cranker had a great ball reaction, but no where near what Tweener had. As this pattern broke down, Stroker’s and Cranker’s pin carry suffered slightly as they moved deeper. Tweener’s ball reaction and pin carry never lessened. The only thing that would have stopped Tweener from striking would have been a power failure. Our reaction on the heavy oil pattern wasn’t near as good as it was on the medium pattern. We experienced an extra foot or two of skid from this pattern, creating a much smaller pocket…making it harder to strike. As this pattern broke down and the track area opened up, our ball reaction improved immensely. Cranker had the best look after we broke the pattern down. He was able to bump the track and get the Complete NV back to the hole with ease. The dry pattern, which is the shortest as well, offered more hook than the Complete NV could handle. This ball doesn’t need as much help as the dry pattern offers. Balls like the Clash or Bash would be better suited for this type of condition. The Complete NV offered an excellent reaction on our sport pattern. This pattern requires a ball that is consistent in reaction shot after shot, which is what the Complete NV gave us on this condition.
