Magnitude 035 solid, hit or miss?
« on: August 21, 2018, 02:58:47 PM »
Any of you who have used this piece, is the Magnitude 035 solid a hit or miss on tournament shots?

Another question: Does the Magnitude 035 compare favorably to the Intel solid, or there is no comparing the two?

I feel the Mag 035 is good, but the Intel is just better in every way. I would honestly take the Intel over any of the IQ Tour esq balls (including the IQ Tour).

I have not thrown the Intel, but the 035 solid has been very valuable for me, especially on tougher patterns when control is paramount.  Enough hook, but not hard to predict at all.

I have both, and I can tell you the Magnitude 035 solid is more mid lane read and smoother than the Intel solid. I like the reaction shape of both, especially on sport, but the Intel is about 2-3 boards more overall hook, and more angular than the Magnitude 035 solid.

I have both! The frigging Intel at box condition was so strong I had to alter the surface. I thought I was getting a medium to light oil piece! Not so at box condition. it is very angular from what I have seen but I still haven't figured it out yet.

My Mag 035 is everything it was advertised to be! It is a medium control piece. Extremely predictable with just enough backend hit! I rate it way above the IQ's of the world. It is also my, "Get me out of Trouble" ball. Long and smooth. Whenever I hit a rough patch, or something that's in between....this is my go-to ball! Never leaves my bag!
