One of the houses that I bowl at seems to have lowered their oil volume, as such I am starting league using the bottom of my bag (Hustle INK at 4K polished). I want to create a new bottom of my bag and I was thinking of either the VE or IQ Tour Pearl.
My current bag: Phase 2, Code Black, Hustle INK
Potential new bag: Phase 2, Hustle INK, VE or IQ Pearl
I believe the VE has a fair amount of games on it (bought it used) because it doesn't seem as strong as it once was. The IQ Pearl has never been a ball that I have matched up well with (I don't get the same strong reaction that everyone else gets) and I thought maybe using it on drier conditions, instead of fresh, might produce better results.
Thoughts?

Low diff, Pearl ball on the fresh, what could go wrong? Of the two I’d go with the IQTP.
-
2nd the !Q pearl.

Have I told you that it's been lonely around here without you?

I’m here, just lurking.

Thank you for the advice...I will be going with the IQ Pearl.

I don't really see the VE working if the CB isn't....
I realize it's old too.
I'd be buying a match up hybrid or something, or Hyroad X (just cause I heard it's smooth)

Normally that would be my first choice, but I had a few balls on the donation pile and pulled one from there instead. It was cheaper & easier to have a swith-grip outer sleeve installed than purchase a brand new ball.

I have tried them all except Hustle Ink. Take a look at after dark solid. I can get square on a lower volume of oil than with ither dry lane balls. It will still over under, but you can get better reaction while keeping your projection angles tighter

Mind if I ask how your IQTP is drilled?

Basically its the same layout as the balls used a matchmaker/demo day....pin over bridge with CG straight down.

And your pap?

Not sure, I have never asked my PSO for a specific number(s). Whenever I am having a ball drilled, prior to getting it, I think about what I want from the ball and then talk with my PSO for their opinion about layouts.

Is most of your other stuff drilled "Stronger"?

My layouts vary a little. In most layouts, I put the pin directly over or under the ring finger (CG stacked or kicked out) and occassionally a 4x4x2 layout with the CG stacked or kicked in.
