Does anyone own a Vivid now that's in the contest? And how's it working for you? I had a decision to make between a new Nexus f(P+F) and the Vivid. I chose the Nexus. It's been a good ball for me, but on really heavy oil, I'm not getting the break down the lane I had expected from it. I know very little about RG and Diff RG and all that. Could that be the problem or my ball speed? (15mph with a 15lb ball, guess I'd be considered a Tweener) Thanks for any help!!

Yes, I own a Vivid (I even won it on this site), and I love it. It has sharp, strong hook. I also own a Nexxus f(P+R), and love that ball too. I can tell you that the Vivid has more hook than the Nexxus. It should be noted that the Vivid is drilled more aggressive than the Nexxus, so that could be one reason it has more hook. I still think it would have more hook regardless though. I usually start with my Vivid, than after the 2nd game, I switch to the Nexxus, just so I can play the same line I started with when I first started with the Vivid the first game.

Anyway, hope I gave you some info, if you have any questions, ask away.

both balls are for heavy oil.. they should do the job on heavy on... a tweener does not rev the ball alot i guess.. just maybe a slight little to get it in the pocket like how curlie did...

Jason has NO PROBLEM getting his vivid to hook, big time!! On fresh oil at two different alleys... Same with his Nexxus... Big HOOKing! Jason is, what I would call a cranker,,, lots of rev's!!! If the ball is drilled correctly for your style of bowling it should hood big into the pocket, Vivid/Nexxus. IMHO!

You haven't thrown my Nexxus in heavy oil yet. Big, huge, monumental difference between "fresh" oil and heavy oil. Bel-Mar is medium at it's heaviest, way too dry a shot.

In Ohio halfway between Dayton and Lima. I know, you don't know where those are either. Well, if you ever get a chance to come visit you can stay with my family and I and then I will show you.

Bel-Mar Lanes Sidney, Ohio home of the driest lanes in the midwest.

I only know that Jason can make that vivid he won WORK!! ESP, on fresh oil! When we bowl he can use the nexxus or Vivid at any point of our 10 to 12 game practice section. They can be remarkable balls, when drilled correctly to your style of bowling! Jason is a cranker, lots of revs, and the ball comes back
big into the pocket for him! He scores BIG on any given day with either the Nexxus or the Vivid... Damn does that Vivid smell REAL GOOD!!
