Right out of the box The Idol Synergy was calling my name, absolutely beautiful ball. I drilled the Synergy with intent of bridging the gap between my Axiom Pearl and Phaze 3. I have with the same layouts on each. On the medium length oil patterns I am able to start with the Axiom Pearl and when I need to ball down I can go right to the Synergy. With a small adjustment I am able to stay in play and stay in the same area. This really helps me stay to my game plans and see my arsenal much better. The key for me there is using a couple core layouts on different bowling balls to allow me to have better cohesion with in my bag.

Layout: 55 x 4 7/8” x 75
Pattern: 39' Sport Shot (2:1 Ratio)

The Idol Synergy provided enough length through the fronts and middle part of the lane with a nice strong backend.  Overall, the motion is a 3-1 more aggressive than the Idol Pearl, but provides a better continuation through the pins. 

The Idol Synergy will give the iQ Tour Emerald a run for its money in my bag.  With a slightly higher differential in the Synergy, it have a greater potential of flare and being more angular than the iQ Tour Emerald.

If you wished that the Idol wasn’t as early, provided more length and was more angular, or the Idol Pearl was a touch too clean, then the Idol Synergy is the ball for you.  The Idol Synergy as a whole, is versatile enough that any style of player could throw this ball.
