Title: Fun decision to have to make.. thoughts?
Post by: AlonzoHarris on November 01, 2018, 05:11:05 PM: So I have a fun decision to have to make, just donâ€™t know what to go with. I won $250 in pro shop credit through a benefit raffle. I just added the Hy-Road X to my bag, I love it and plan to put some mileage on it. But might as well get another toy.. or two I can just pay the difference. Based on the line up in my signature and the choices Iâ€™ve listed, what would atleast make some sense? I bowl both THS and sport shot.

Choices considered:
PhysiX
Code X
Idol Pearl
Winner
Winner Solid

A few points about my current bag. NRP is probably out. A stronger faster response to friction Marvel Pearl type ball would be useful. Sometimes the Phaze II doesnâ€™t quite have the backend torque on sport shots (38+ft) but everything else is usually too clean down the lane first few games.

Haha..It's probably the best choice.

I see the Idol Pearl being my Marvel Pearl. PhysiX would be the better option of the CodeX I think and then would make having both a bit wasteful. Winner would be a bit more of a novelty I guess as I have the Hy-Road Pearl for the times I would toss the Winner. I will say the Winner Solid intrigues me a bit, especially for the price. I liked the Rocket Ship, but I thought it could have used just a touch more overall to it. I don't know though if the Winner Solid is that ball or not.

Post by: CoorZero on November 01, 2018, 09:48:10 PM: I'd worry about the overlap with the Winner Solid and Phaze II. It's going to be a strong ball, no doubt about that. Likely in that Phaze II range for strength. Probably not early/chuggy either.

My guess is the Idol Pearl will be more along the lines of the stronger, faster response Marvel Pearl you want. To me the Physix offers more that you don't have though.
