Venom Shock and Hustle Ink are 2 great balls and would slide nicely under what you already have.

Hard to believe you aren't considering an IQ Tour. I've seen you use one a couple of times and it works well for your game.

I never had an IQ tour, must have been a different ball.  My Rhodman is pretty smooth and almost a similar shape.

Really? I thought you used one at Travis a couple of times. You were killing it with wherever that ball was.

Not sure.  Maybe a gamebreaker.  Or it might have been something Motiv.  Covert revolt was similar smooth motion for me.

Sure Lock
Statement Pearl
Quantum Bias
Vintage vapor Zone
Rhodman
Venom Shock
                 ................. for a six ball arsenal.

You would go with the quantum bias over the idol?  Rhodman and venom shock is what I was thinking.. i was leaning toward the vapor zone but i wasn'tsure about having two Asymmetrical pearls.... But my rebel yell is a bit too long and over under.... From what I've seen the vapor zone is pretty versatile..

I definitely feel you about the Rebel Yell! That is exactly the problem I had with it, over/under like crazy! I guess I could have made a surface change, but it was just easier to pick up another piece!

I like the Idol, don't get me wrong. I just said the Bias to put some separation between that and the Sure Lock. You can't go wrong either way!

Don't the sure lock and quantum bias take the same spot in the bag?

I was wondering the same. My Idol offers a different enough motion than my sure lock that I'll just use the two and keep the quantum to drill up later down the road.

Not in the houses I bowl in! I could get in left and wheel with the Bias, wherein the Sure Lock tends to be a fresh shot ball for me!

Every bowler is different and ever THS ain't the same.....I get it!

Understood.. my sure lock has been a miracle ball for me.. i tend to not do well with asyms.. And even worse with strong asyms, but the sure lock seems to get down the lane for me on everything ive thrown it on and has a ton of recovery.  I have to move at least 5 right and slow down a lot with every other ball i have compared to the sure lock.  Guess i match up well with it for some reason.
