I was fortunate enough to get this ball sent to me from Brunswick's Ron Bragg (Thank you!), and I really appreciate it! I haven't had the chance to really see what the Nirvana can do since I just got holes put into it on Saturday; nevertheless, I'll share what I've seen so far, and I'll be sure to update as I put more games on it.

It was clear from the first shot that this ball is STRONG! I went to the same area where I was hitting the pocket with my box finish Melee Jab, and the Nirvana gave me a run-away Brooklyn! As such, I kept moving inside a few boards at a time with both my feet and my eyes. By the time I finished moving, I was roughly 9 and 6 left with the Nirvana, and it seemed like the more oil I sent the ball into, the more it read and reacted. Brunswick has said that this will be similar to the original Mastermind but with more downlane pop, and it certainly appears as if it's going to live up to that billing. Again, I have to do more testing, but from what I'm seeing thus far, I think that this ball will be the new big ball in the Brunswick product line!
