What is the difference between the four nexus balls?

[billf]

The other brands the past few years seem to all have consistency issues. Storm's domination I contribute a lot of that to their staff, Del Ballard and Hank Boomershine. Brunswick seems to finally have figured out their ills by releasing the Versa series and now the Nexus series. Brunswick HAD a reputation for low hooking balls that couldn't handle to over-under but that's not the case anymore.

What does over/under refer to?

A ball reaction that tends to hook too much in the dry part of a lane and too little when in the oil.

Rash is a head case. Parker Bohn III also on staff. Even being past his prime, he is still one of the best ever and very technically solid. Walter Ray Williams Jr is the all-time career tournament winner, recently on staff. Tom Smallwood who shows that you don't have to have a perfect anything to compete, is also on staff.
Ryan Ciminelli is young and will be a lefty to be reckoned with before long.

Over/under, wet/dry are terms that refer to lane conditions where the oil gets carried down towards the pins and away from the pattern that was laid down. At times it can get blotchy or spotted where you will have oil-dry-oil-dry, etc. This can cause the ball to react unpredictably. Plastic balls are good for causing this condition as they don't absorb oil but rather push it as they go down the lane.
*any help in explaining this so it's more understandable would be appreciated

I think it means that as the lanes transition the ball over-reacts and then under-reacts as the bowler tries to adjust.

As for Brunswick, they currently have Walter Ray Williams Jr, Parker Bohn III, Johnny Petraglia, Carmen Salvino, all of whom are well known to PBA fans. They also have Tom Smallwood, Tom Hess, Ryan Ciminelli, Tony Reyes and Chris Loeschetter.

Oh didn't know WRW was on Brunswick now. I haven't seen him much since I started keeping up with bowling but now he's on the senior tour (or both?) and the other names seem to be a bit out of prime, the others rather new.
Storm has Duke, Weber and Belmonte and it seems like those are the ones you always see people talking about.

Don't get me wrong, Brunswick is a huge name. Even before getting into bowling I knew about Brunswick being THE ball company without having a clue why I thought so. It's all subliminal.

Storm has bigger names on staff but Brunswick has been trying to step it up recently.
