I feel like this ball will be everything we hoped the IDOL Pro would be. If the video Schlemer and Malott did a week or two ago is any indicator this ball is strong off the spot. More motion than the IDOL Pearl. Which is good just so there's some differentiation in the line.

The Synergy shapes like an Idol, but it backends like a Phaze 3 or Astro.  Pretty crazy good, but I'm biased of course . .

I haven't seen any of your videos for a while and was surprised to see you bowling as a south par. Were you injured and forced to change or just changed.

Could this one be considered a true baby Nuke? I just got the latter last week and have only thrown it 4 games so far, but 38 strikes later... I'm impressed. Seems like the Idol core is more forward off the spot like the Nucleus core and that peaks my interest.
