Fused: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TNEFsjFQIk

HYB (including Easter eggs, where are they???): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hg5Zqja2Ug

I watched the videos, and thanks for posting them.....very entertaining!

I was not overly impressed by the reactions of either of the balls, but having said that I could not figure out why you were swinging the Hustle HYB. Clearly, the way you have the layout set up, a down and in shot should be the use for this ball.

Not very dynamic; not a lot of hoopla, just down and in, straighter consistency.

ARe you sure your not a undercover comedian? I LOVE how you quote things as far as you expression your thoughts, views, and opinions as well as you assessing said ball.

Very informative and entertaining; Keep em coming.

Really dig the honesty and humor in the Opinion videos. The Ink has really started to take off locally, the local house is a higher friction lane surface and not a ton of volume house pattern and the Ink looks great, really have been intrigued by the HYB. Sure a few will get them.

Be interested to see how well the Fused does on the flatter stuff, the No Rules Pearl and Motiv's Trident Quest seem to to be the only asym pearls people use in my neck of the woods on anything.

Luke - Do you see this ball splitting the difference between an NRP and Code Black?

Nah.  The Fused is the sharpest and strongest of all 3.  I'm not sure I could fit a ball in between the NRP and Code Black if I tried though . . they're both pretty smooth and the NRP has it by a couple boards in hook, but those two were a deadly pair at tournaments for me last year.  I'd go Trick, NRP, Code Black as I chased the shot inside, I found the switch from the NRP to the Code Black to be pretty seamless.

I like your assessment. Sport shot tournament this weekend I didn't do so well in. Found a line with the NRP too late. Tried the IQTS with surface for game 1 and it gave zero miss room. Game 2 I tried the INK. I had more miss room but some ugly leaves. Game 3 I realized I needed more core but not really overkill on the cover and the NRP was it.

If you had zero miss room with a IQT with surface, you had to have been missing right, by a country mile.

Oiled 35 feet low volume and flat 12-12. All the oil was 1-12 on either side and 44 feet. Misses in hooked early and misses out floated to the 3-6 or further out. Playing up the oil line with IQTS worked unless I missed in it grabbed the dry and roll early. Misses out it didn't have the diff to get back up to the pocket. INK gave a little more shim if I pulled it and had a little extra backend pop if I missed out. The NRP had excellent length to play right on top the oil and enough ass to get back to the pocket. By playing on top of the oil instead of the shim I had 3 boards miss room either side versus 1-2. 40 people and the cut to 16 was a 172 average.
