Which ball
« on: July 24, 2014, 08:39:41 PM »
Considering the black widow legend, iq tour solid and the original Radical Reax solid.  Looking for a great consistent ball fie medium to heavier mediums! Share any thoughts...

I would say IQ Tour Solid. Extremely versatile piece and seems to carry well no matter who is rolling it.

It's going to depend on what you're looking for:   My two choices would be IQ tour solid and Black Widow Legend:  In my experiences the IQ will be more in the mids and less on the back end and the Legend will be more angular

BW legend, hands down
Billy O used this ball for every TV show
he had the best summer swing performance by far because of this ball

Have to agree with Dave81644, the BW Legend looked great on tv this summer.  Plus, the gas mask core is proven. 

My vote would be the Covert Revolt.  Having this ball, it will have similar strength to the BW Legend.  The difference is that the Revolt uses a solid cover instead of the hybrid.  The overall motion will be a little more of an even arc.  However, I have found that it is very continuous, and allows you to chase patterns in a bit more than some other balls on the market.  Plus, the carry is very good with it, and the ball hits very hard without quitting.  Motiv has come a long way and have really impressed me so far.

I have the IQ solid, but am adding the Legend.  IQ is really a control ball unless you keep a lot of surface on it.  Core is much different than the Legend.  I do expect the Legend to polish up quickly from the lane, just as the IQ did.

Asylum! The Hybrid cover can be kept at 1000 or 2000 for oil, 4000 for medium oil, or polished for length. It is a great piece all around and it gets my vote. If you want a good oiler only, the Hyper Cell is one of the 3 strongest balls on the market.
