Can’t decide - opinions wanted
« on: December 05, 2019, 04:18:05 PM »
Here’s the scoop - I want to add 2 more balls but there’s 4 I’m interested in. I’ve done a lot of flip flopping and reconsidering so now I just want some straight opinions.

Current lineup:
Code X
Phaze 2
Phaze 3 - ordered
Code Black
IQ Tour

Additional Options: (pick 2 to add to current lineup)
Idol Pearl
All-Road
IQ Emerald
MVP Pearl

Lineup will be used in league and sport shots, wood and synthetic lanes,and  everything else under the sun.
Current Rotation:
PhysiX
Code X
Code Black
Axiom Pearl
Phaze III
Trend
IQ Tour

I don't know, that looks pretty solid to me. No real gap left uncovered, especially with the Phaze III coming in. Depending on how strong your Code Black is for you I could see the !Q Tour Emerald making sense as a control pearl.

The MVP Pearl is likely the step down from the Phaze III if you want that long ans strong burn option.

Not seeing a strong need for the All-Road unless you want something between the two Phaze balls.

IDOL Pearl is probably the best of the bunch. If you're adding something just to add something I would go with that. But again there could be some actual use overlap with the Code Black.

I'm thinking the MVP Pearl will be one. Something to sit at the bottom-ish of my bag. The Code Black is drilled strong and that strong core likes to spin up fast so sometimes its just too much core.

Coorzero, solid choice, but he mentioned that his code black is drilled strong, so therefore, it would overlap more (imo) with the Idol Pearl.  That’s why I think the All-road would be the better fit, with a different shape from his !Q, and the Phaze balls.

Just my .002 cents on it.  I do also agree, that he has his bases covered (With the exception of a low end piece).

IQ Emerald and Idol Pro seem to be honor score in a box for most of the people that are drilling them up.
