Punched my FIRST !Q Tour.. WOW
« on: March 05, 2017, 06:27:25 PM »
Never had the solid....Punched it for state and walked away with $650 in side pots and will cash decently in every event. 

I must be stupid for waiting this long.

Forgot to mention I had the nano IQ too.  Ball was also garbage.

The two of them aren't even in the same class

Since we're on the IQ train, what's the overall consensus on the IQ Tour pearl/30?  I personally love my original IQ/pearl great 1/2 punch for me.

Too bad Bill on the nano, great ball for the tough sports shots I see.

Ever drill up a RocketShip? Curious on differences you noted if so.

Rocketship is closer to my oilshined hyroad solid.

I used the tour on sport(housey-sport condition) at the state tournament. All of the my other stuff was super over under and that tour kept me in play all weekend!

Sounds like the shot at Airport might actually be something that should be put down for states. Wasn't too impressed with what was out there in Waterford and Bay City the past couple of years.

Am I the only one who loves the IQ Fusion?
Been trying to track down one to stash but those who do have it, want way more than I will pay.

The reason we stash them is so we can over charge you.  :o ;D

I just finally tried one in January myself, even though I had a fusion that I loved. The Solid has worked out so well, I bought a second one in February.

My house shot arsenal lately has been IQ Tour, IQ Tour, spare ball. Easily the best ball I've ever owned, and I'm seriously considering purchasing a third.

the IQ Nano is a good ball; its just not at nearly the same level as the IQ Tour.

The nano sold because of the name and Pepe winning with his, even though it was shined all of to hell. Lol.

The timeless is going to be the same.  Except belmo behind it which brings more sales. Good for my favorite company I guess.

The tour solid is one of the best balls i have ever thrown.  I got the 30 recently and like it alot, still getting used to it.

I just like the fact that the differential really took over on the sport shot I bowled on. It truly made it easy.  As long as I squared up, the over under I saw with the no rules, respect hybrid and haywire was gone....

Never threw it. The fusion was "aight." But it didn't do the job I expected.

Billdozer you aren't the only one who has never bought this ball. I still don't have one. Now I am wondering?

I've had 2 IQ Tour Solids - one pin down, and one pin up.  I still have the pin up one.

I had some success with the pin down one - winning a USBC Masters qualifier with it.  However, other than that, nothing.  I could never really get the ball to transition from hook to roll quick enough to feel comfortable with it on almost all conditions - most of the time it would just plaque when it would get to the pocket.  The pin-up, with the quicker response layout, has been much more versatile for me.  While it's been better, there are better options for my style of bowling on most of the conditions that I encounter on the left side.

Ultimately, what I have learned from the IQ Tour Solid (and the Gold Ball/IQ Nano/UpRoar) is that low diff balls seem to be condition specific for me.  They work best for me when the back ends are SCREAMING. These balls don't peel off the spot for me, so there is a place for them, just not that often.
