Since you didn't provide any other information except the name of two balls. There's no criteria for narrowing down the selection.

Here are the review pages for both balls, they have specs and reviews by many users.

More information other than the balls you want to narrow down too?
If that's all the info you are going to give, then the IQ Tour Fusion due to the popularity and how well it seems to match up with bowlers.

Byte is Skip/Flip

Fusion smooth continuous arch.

I have both and that is MHO.

i wish I could speak - in the proper bowling terms-- I have been reading for three weeks -- but bottom line is -- I am not speaking proper language.

Threw the Ebonite Source over the summer-- High series-650-- Stood on 7th board and throw 8 to the 11th guiding the ball into the pocket- slower speed more movement-- high speed ball slides past the head pin --

So I have two post running --try to condense-

I don't know the tilt becasue the pro I am using -- never measures me or watched me long enough to find out what I need compared to how I throw--  nor did he find the CG-- using a little piece of tape - I assume or hope he is giving me my PAP from measuring the Source-- I hope-- but have a funny feeling he is just tweaking a label layout.

I bought the Zero Gravity-- Still not happy-- So i have an Old Hammer Deuce, Ebonite Source and Zero Gravity-- three different lines

Hammer stand on 5 throw on 8th light pocket getting good mix old 16 lbs

Source stand 7 throw 8  board at 14 mph high pocket hit creates "gift" strikes-- increase speed to 16-17 mph-- ball slides right by pocket i know move to board to the right and throw 8th at 16 mph-- w
 
gravity stand 9  throwing 8-10th board  16mph coming in high-- move over two board to 11 throw 10 leaving 10 pin  with solid pocket hit or ball hits high and leaving 3-6-10 or 3-6-10-9.

I realized yesterday that the better bowlers at my house stand 3-4 and throw 5-8 guiding ball -- really --never saw anyone standing on 20 throwing 11 and ball snapping back unless they miss and get so far outside--5th board where there is no oil-- then ball beaks hard and solid pocket shot-- or lucky

Well guess i need to learn more-- and communicate better. Definetly going to find a new pro-- just not happy with house pro-- really believe the reason everyone is throwing the same line is no matter what ball he drills it is geared to use that straight stand 5 hit 8th and guides in because -- i see the high rev crankers and low rev strokers all throwing about the same line.

More to follow-

Before you invest in a new ball, find a new pro shop operator that will take the time to help you. There's many shop's that care for their bowlers. Find one.

I contacted Storm and spoke with a staffer who suggested two pro's only problem is they are 2+ hours away.  i need someone local who I can go back to for adjustments.

 I do not want to completely alienate the house pro- because my kid bowls there and for his needs the pro is fine-- basic House shot and label layout until he becomes consistent with his release and can hit his spot 7 out of 10 times.

But your right that is what I am looking for
