I'm trying to find a reason to justify adding a Hyroad Pearl or Deranged to my arsenal. I'm concerned about overlap with my IQTP and Tribal.

IQTP is 70 x 5 x 45 with hole on my Val and Tribal is 60 x 4 1/4 x 40 p3.

Any help is appreciated.

Not sure about the Tribal, but the Hyroad Pearl or Deranged will not overlap with an IQTP. Both balls are way better choices to get in with.

I've said it since its inception, the iQTP is an awful choice when you have to get In and wheel the lane, the diff is just too low. When you move into the oil, the ball just doesn't pick up but if you get it to the dry too soon, it slows down to quick.

In summary, iqTP is better on the oil line or going straighter through the front or when the lane has blended.  Hyroad pearl and deranged are much better when opening up your launch angles.

Stats: 350/375 revs, 18 off hand, 5-10* tilt, 45* rotation.

IQTP is way better for me on fresh and/or playing straighter.

Tribal is more versatile than IQTP if I move in but also has a more defined breakpoint playing outside.

Thinking 50 x 4 x 50 or 50 x 5 x 50 on a hyroad pearl or deranged to read the mids a touch more but be more of a hard driving finish.

I had a Disturbed I absolutely LOVED for around 30 games 50 x 4 x 50 p3 until it lost its bite. Tried several surface changes and never got it back. I couldn't throw that ball thru the breakpoint no matter what. Kind of looking for that same motion with hyroad pearl or deranged.

Can it work?

I tried to soak as well. Just couldn't get it back. Who knows?
