Punched my FIRST !Q Tour.. WOW
« on: March 05, 2017, 06:27:25 PM »
Never had the solid....Punched it for state and walked away with $650 in side pots and will cash decently in every event. 

I must be stupid for waiting this long.

Somewhere, deep.........deep within me...........lies the heart of a ball whore.   :P  :P  :P

My PSO suggested that I get this ball (IQ Tour the blue one with orange writing),so I purchased it. He said it was above the Timeless and that it is a "all around ball". I didn't hesitate in buying it (it comes friday) because all the reviews on here s great and I never herd anything bad about this ball. As A "Hammer head" this will be the second ball I will have that is not in the hammer family.
Now I have the Timeless and IQ Tour is there a gap I need to fill? or a ball above/below should I get. I need a 3rd ball as I went to 15LB.(ball company dosn't matter) Thanks ahead of time

Another ball?  I guess it depends on what kind of bowling you do.  If you are a casual league bowler, just evaluate your needs after throwing the two you have.  The IQ takes surface adjustments very well so experiment.  I like mine at 2000. The OOB is 4000.

If you need more reaction make you 3rd ball a big hooker, if you need less then look at those balls. If you need more, the Phase 2 or Sure Lock will get it done.  Less then look at the  hectic

Storm could put the iQ logo on a block of wood and I'd still buy it.  I have 2 solids, 1 nano, and 1 pearl 30 .... they all kill it.  I sold my Fusion since it overlapped but its was good too.

If you have any amount of hand and/or like to vary hand positions, this is the ball for you.  You can always get to the pocket. 

I hope they are cooking up another one.. perhaps one with the original hybrid Lock cover.

Avg players don't like shooting spares ad nauseam, the IQT has a tendency to get 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 a lot. Great ball for staying out of trouble but you will get run over if the scoring pace is high.

Yep.  For me it's a sport pattern ball all day.  I just bowled a flat 45' foot pattern with randomly added oil using a ketchup bottle...Lol... Nothing hooked.

Keeping the ball in play for spares and a few strikes was key.

Got 5th, 156 203 187 192 (738)

Missed first by a mark or two.  757 won for 4 games.  Lol pretty tough stuff!!!

181 average cashed!!! IQ baby...

Forgot to mention I had the nano IQ too.  Ball was also garbage.

the IQ Nano is a good ball; its just not at nearly the same level as the IQ Tour.

The nano sold because of the name and Pepe winning with his, even though it was shined all of to hell. Lol.

The timeless is going to be the same.  Except belmo behind it which brings more sales. Good for my favorite company I guess.

Nano...I had to shine the dogshit out of it to be halfway decent.. As you've found out the 1st iq tour is money...lol. Also excellent at 2000 grit

I concur... when I am able to use it, it's exactly at 2000, probably the most consistent, predictable ball you'll ever use, on the RIGHT conditions will always keep you in the game!!!

Couldn't disagree more. I have 2 IQ Tours, and it's the best carrying ball I've ever had. 9s have only been a problem when playing very very deep.

I'm high speed high rev, but slightly speed dominant. IQT has been MUCH more versatile for me than my Hyroad.

We're all different and we all match up differently.  I respect that for you the IQ has been the best carrying ball you've ever had.  However, I agree with the others.  When I see someone lining up with an IQ Tour Solid on a wide-open THS, I know that person is at a disadvantage from a carry perspective.

I never carried much with my IQ on house shots but has been very good for me on flatter short to medium length patterns that allowed me to play out.  Incidentally, the IQ 30 may be one of the most under rated balls out there.  Nothing like the gold pearl.  Super smooth of the end if the oil like the solid but a little better continuation that allows me to get a little deeper than I can with the solid.
