Best solid ball out as of today for a THS
« on: October 13, 2014, 12:17:29 PM »
Trying to get some opinions on what you bowlers think is the best solid ball out as of today for a THS on synthetic lanes. I have a Fusion and a Hyroad Pearl but would like to add a solid to my bag. Throw mostly Storm now but would consider a different brand depending on what I hear. Close to buying a Hy Road Solid but want to make sure it doesn't just sit in my bag. I am looking for a nice solid ball that I can use on my house shot to start the night. Would like to use for 3 games but tough to do on today's patterns. Can drop down to my Fusion or even further down to my Hy road pearl. I hate to buy a ball and then regret it later. Nobody can guarantee the ball will work for sure but I just want to get some more info before I decide.

The 900 Global All Day is a great first ball out of the bag. I also like the look of the Covert Revolt from Motiv. Hysteria looks super good too.

HyRoad Solid, Hysteria, IQ Tour Solid, and Wipe Out are great choices from storm/roto.
Outside of them:
900G All Day
Radical Grease Monkey Pow
Radical Yeti Untamed
Track LX05
Ebonite GB2
Hammer Arson
Hammer Absolut Curve
Brunswick Melee Cross
Brunswick LT-48
DV8 Rude Dude

It's hard to go wrong with all the options. Just remember that surface is a big factor

It's not a Storm ball, but the Venom Shock kills on a THS.

Northface-  Will the Hysteria give me a similar reaction as my fusion? You got me thinking when you said I have to much stuff shined up. I agree. That is why I am looking for a dull ball. Hysteria looks great but it comes with polish. I know I could dull it up but was just wondering how you like it polished. Thanks

You might be right.  Tough to argue with success. Hy Road Solid looks really similar in over all motion. Disorder, Hy Road solid, Hysteria or IQ Tour Solid. All look great.

hyroad solid is a giant turd, and the hysteria is very oil sensitive.  1500 grit with polish OOB is very jumpy. 

IQ tour solid is really the answer.  If you don't like it, ill buy it from you.

lol   I was all set to get the Hyroad Solid until I did some research. I have the Fusion and IQTP so why not get the Tour solid. I will be in touch if it is a dud. How did you like it OOB?  I see a lot of people with polish on it . Not sure why when the fusion and IQTP comes polished. Thanks for making me laugh today.

don't mess with the cover.  adding polish is gonna take away from that nice continious controllable solid shape that i assume youre looking for.  Give the ball 20 games and it will have an oil sheen on it.  no polish necessary.

If price means anything IQ Solid must be a great ball. $30.00 more than a Hyroad Solid or a Hysteria. Hopefully I get what I pay for.

The Hysteria will give you  different motion than the Fusion. I throw mine at 4000 and its a beast

Bought the IQ Solid today. I should get 4 different looks with my balls I currently own. IQ Solid- Fusion- IQTP- and Hyroad Pearl. And I love my Super Natural for 10 pins. So much more forgiveness than when I used plastic. I haven't hit a super dry condition yet but when I do it should hit better than plastic.
