2 balls on my watch list for this season.. Showoff and Ink.  Look forward to your vid.

Im excited since my green Shout cracked, this looks right on time to be a great replacement. A really good ball for the patterns when the backend of the lane is really clean and you don't need the jerk off the spot. Kinda like the Solid Loco but stronger.

I'm guessing you didn't get a Match Up Solid. I'd like to see a comparison between that and the Ink.

Second this.

Dude how do you NOT like the Tour? LOL

Maybe because no one wants to shoot single pins 80% of the game?

Without question.

I have 3 IQ Tours with different layouts surfaces that often ALL come to the alley with me for tournaments (even on house shots), entirely because my carry is so ridiculously good with them. Start with the 3000 grit one, switch to the 1000 or polished one depending on where I need it to get started.

I'd be lying if I said they worked everywhere (they're not magic, after all), but they keep making me money. To each their own, I guess.

Idk what Tour youre throwing lol just kiddin I know matchups are key but the only time that ball doesn't strike for me is at 4000. It just makes it go too long, but that is a ball I can literally drill backwards and strike. That and the Hyroad. I think people didn't drill them strong enough though IMO. its really smooth so you have to drill the ball 4" pin to PAP or less or if longer use flare increasing holes and surface. The Tour was my go to in our areas scratch league when all I had to do was adjust surfaces from Pattern to Pattern.
