The Nexxxus f(P+S) is the newest high performance release from Brunswick and the second ball this month that uses a lot of X’s in the name. Turns out that’s for good reason as that is what we saw on the scoreboard during the testing of this ball. This new formulation of coverstock surrounds the Arrowhead core used in the only other pearl Nexus ball.

The shiny finish of this ball matched up better for the testers on the medium test pattern. The length and back end recovery were...

Performance Ratings

Torque
(1-10)

The Nexxxus is the strongest of the series at the breakpoint. With the combination of the core and this new coverstock, the ball really pops when it sees friction down lane.
Length
(1-25)
14
The polished cover helps push the ball down the lane. The cover stores all kinds of energy for the back end.
Back End
(1-20)
17.5
This is one of the highest back end ratings we have given a Brunswick ball. There is nothing that can keep this ball from making a turn down lane.
Total Hook
(1-100)
54
The total hook is a high rating for a pearl ball with polish. The Nexxxus is one of the few balls that can create friction in the oil, while still maintaining a move at the back end.

Strengths: There are very few conditions on which the Nexxxus cannot be used. It hooked on the oily test pattern and still got enough length on the medium and drier test patterns.

Weaknesses: There is little the Nexxxus is not capable of doing. Only the heaviest of oils could keep this ball from creating traction.

Overall Summary: The Nexxxus, to us, is the most useful ball in the line. We could use it on almost all the patterns and it takes to surface adjustments well.
