If you could use only one ball what would it be?

If you mean 1 actual ball and no spare ball probably my Visionary The Crow urethane (can use as a spare ball and on THS) but if allowed a spare ball probably my Burgundy Hammer remake as its viable on virtually any condition even if ideal on few.  If you mean you can have 1 type of ball but multiple balls I would say either The Fix or perhaps an IQ Tour as you have a lot of versatility with drilling and surface.

Ball I love but doesn't make the bag for league nights as it does many things well but not one great in my opinion on THS.

IQ Tour, most versatile ball I have ever used and takes surface changes great making it useful on wide variety of patterns.

Ebonite Cyclone 2000 polished. Roll a few frames warming up, and scuff if necessary.

I'd select my pin-up Visionary Raven. It's proven to be the most versatile ball in my bag.

Well I appreciate all who have gave an opinion. It seems like the iq tour solid came up quite a bit.
I'm not near the caliber bowler as most of you so I do value your feedback.
The reason I asked the question is because I have a ball that just works for me on everything, everywhere I bowl. I too have a iq tour and it worked pretty good but after about 50 games or so it started to leave single pins plus I couldn't shoot spares real accurately. I've got back into bowling after a 6 yr. Lay off about a year ago and I think I have a problem I'M A BALL JUNKIE ok I said it now maybe I can get better. In less than 1 year I've drilled up 8 new balls. My problem is I have 1 ball that works great but I'm  bored throwing the same ball even though it scores. All the others score but not as consistently. Guess I'll just keep buying new balls until I find one that can beat it.

About what I have done since fall season started so have company.  Also have company with the IQ Tour leaving 9 on THS.  Tried the Hy-Road yet?  That ball or the Venom Shock may become your new go to ball.  If have a decent size arsenal bury your pride and buy a cheap pancake plastic ball (can get a Pyramid Path for like $40 shipped and really impressed with quality so far) or urethane for spares.  Can't recommend that enough.

as far as  a spare ball that's the only ball I have that's from the year 2000 arsenal it's a blue dot. I think that's pretty good for shooting spares. I've never owned a motiv ball but I here a lot of good things about the venom shock but the hy road is so ledgondary I don't know which one to try first.
Of the two which one first?
