Title: Need help of completing the bag
Post by: djgook on March 20, 2019, 09:26:46 AM
Hello Bowling Family,
I need help rounding out my bag. As you see I have a lot of pieces(I will list them),but I do not know how to put it together. My one two punch is the IQ Tour(drilled as a controlled piece,what ever that means) and the Timeless (drilled aggressive).I also carry a plastic ball. I need to know if I already have a ball that will fit or just go buy a ball that fits (doesn't matter of ball company). Currently these are the other pieces I have that I keep changing out for the third piece:
Hammer Black Urethane (drilled aggressive)
Hammer Gold Widow (aggressive)
Hammer Gauntlet (aggressive)
Storm Drive (aggressive)
 I really do not know much about drilling, so I mainly go with aggressive. Me being a two hander this might not be the right thing to do. I do not have a thumb hole. It would be cheaper just to get it plug and redrill if I already have that missing piece. I was told to really stay away from all these Hook monsters (got the Gauntlet for 45.00 brand new could not pass it up). I am looking for my bowling fam to help me out on this one. I bowl on all conditions except sports pattern unless I go to a house and that is what they put down. Thank you ahead of time.

That arsenal should cover most conditions.  Might just be a little top heavy if you have decent revs.  Only hole I see is perhaps a reactive under the IQ Tour like say a Hustle Ink or Vibes whose price is hard to beat.

Well I definitely think you have the right idea. I would continue to use the IQ tour as a control piece / benchmark ball, and I would assume you probably switch to the timeless once they open up. I would continue to slot out the third ball.

The only real gaps I see would be at the very top in terms of an oil ball, that would be something like a Crux prime or Halo solid. And then something in between your urethane and your timeless.... Like a match up, winner, hustle ink, or maybe a white hot badger.

Other than that, you got it covered with some good balls!
