Got the approval to add a ball to my arsenal around an OG Hy Road and Hy Road X. Had hit the HRX with a 2000/4000 pad and have been loving it but wouldn’t mind restoring the polish if it made more sense filling a gap my next ball could fit into.  I was looking at the IQ tour but I’m sort of lost as to what my needs are. My goal is yo really be equipped for league play down the line.

- RH with med revs and 15-16mph speed.
- 10-12 board midlane and a breakpoint at 5-6 downlane.

Good information bowlingfordonuts; To add to it, it also depends on what conditions you bowl on. You certainly may need something that picks up earlier and smooths our downlane ( the hyroads push far down lane, reading later and sharper).

So if you see more oil, a hyroad nano would fit the bill also, lighter oil, bowlingfordonuts nailed it.

Provide the conditions you see to help out more.

I would go Phaze 2 or Idol (if you see the volume). Would not recomend the IQ Tour as I feel the Phaze 2 is the better tournament ball. Ask the pros or check Storm's latest Facebook live video to see what I mean.

Thanks for all the awesome feedback and advice.

I ended up opting for the idol and I absolutely love it.  I put the shine back on my X as well to bring it back to box as close as possilble.

Definitely let's me play a bit more left on the THS and I can play off the X when it starts to dry up.

Probably will add an Ink to the mix eventually when I can convince the wife to buy a bigger bag
