What is the most controlled ball on the heavier oil? Vivid, IQ, modern marvel?
And also on lighter oil? Shout, tropical breeze pearl, tropical breeze hybrid, scream? By the way, anyone know about the upcoming releases in the summer from storm/Roto grip?

Vivid for me for heavy oil.  Got a pin down with a hole down on it, typically never over reacts or is jumpy
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid
Coming soon...???

I know this may sound weird,
But how dumb would it be to get a virtual gravity nano pearl, drill it to lower the flare a lot with a weight hole at p1? Anything too cleansing just kick hard on the backend. I don't really want to change the look I have in the Critical Theory, but still need something to use more energy earlier. My hy-road was an excellent benchmark, but arcs too much to move in, yet too early to play tighter. This was the gap I was looking to find before it backfires later. Any thoughts on the aggressive cover low flare layout?

This idea came from the comments stating how strait the vgnp is compared to non particle covers for the backend. That critical theory is definitely not reading the front part of the lane to tame it's backend down. And I just really don't have anything that has ever had such a motion as the Critical Theory.

Control can be had in two forms, layout or surface. Layout route, you would use large angles and a shorter pin to pap, lets say 2-3 1/4". Surface route, lower grit step up surfaces (500,1000,2000) and light coat of polish. A Nano Pearl in your hands would be decent with surface. The key is not to get caught up in balls but in filling a need. If you have a reaction that doesnt fit what you're looking for change it with surface before you plop down money on a new ball. If you try it and it doesnt work out then fill that need.

Ok you're right. Although I'm starting to wish I had bought the nano pearl now. What a stupid decision I've made. But now I'm stuck with it so I hope it rolls better with a surface change. Well I guess I'll never make that mistake again. Anyways, I guess I'll just grind with my hybrids for now. Really disappointed in my stupidity that I should have learned the first time with the virtual gravity (hype). After seeing Belmonte throw that lucid and why, I really felt like an idiot. Well I'm still 15 years old so i have time. But what should I look into next time? Definitely don't need another backend monster. And don't say the iq TOUR solid. Nothing benchmark-like.

Lol! I remember tell you this before. Dont beat yourself up, the game is about trial and error. A lucid in your hands would be pretty sweet if you were willing to work with it. A lot of high rev guys love the !Q Tour Solid, it gives them a ball down on sport patterns. Heck you saw Wes Malott throwing it well, its just a really good ball. Like I said, you have the ability with your rev rate to throw just about anything successfully with the right layout and surface.
