IQ Tour Fusion
« on: February 22, 2014, 10:23:32 AM »
Got to see the IQ Tour Fusion in action yesterday. Guy bowling against us had one and only used it maybe 5 or 6 times in the two weeks he had it. Said he shot 789 with it out the box.

We were bowling on medium oil with soft backends. This guy was speed dominant with low revs. The ball looked good....read the mids smoothly, predictably, and consistently.
Great hitting power at the pin deck.

This guy comes out with the front ten. (Two of the ten were Brooklyn) finishes up with a 286 game. For the day his set was 761. Not too shabby.

Also, in more skilled hands this ball has multiple 800's written all over it!

I can't wait to see future position rounds where guys are not only battling fiercely on the lanes but battling at the ball returns trying to figure out whose ball is whose when the IQTF's and Masterminds Geniuses start dominating play.

I'm already ordering one. Has anyone else seen this piece in action?

PS.  Fig jam...we still beat them 3 out of 4 , even with that nice set he had. Lol!

Yes. I have one and 4 buddies have one as well.

I shot 300 day after I got mine at local tourny and my friend shot 300 the following night at league.

It is by far the best match I have ever rolled. Everyone who has this ball loves it. It is a can't miss!!!!!

Reads mids better than Hyroad but finishes so well too. IMO a better ball!!!!

Everyone needs one!

I am not a fan.  Perhaps I am using the ball on the wrong condition, but a ball that is supposed to be a benchmark piece of my bag should not go left as hard as it does.  Not much reaction shape difference compared to my Wrecker drilled same way.  I think I am going to sell it and get another Marvel-S and add polish.

Using on 45ft medium volume pattern, somewhat flatter condition.

Surface is 3000 abralon, drilled 45x5x70 P3 hole.

So, you are rev dominant? with slow speed? I would never have added that P3 hole if you are.

No I have a nice balance between speed and revs
400 rpm- at 16.5 mph+

I have a slightly inverted hi track which can cause the ball to get grabby.

I have had my Fusion for a couple of weeks and finally decided to adjust the surface. Went with 500/1000 Bean's Sauce. Started with the Mastermind last night and shot a dismal 157 first game. Decided to move in and try the Fusion. I ended up with a 203 the second game and and 238 the third game, chasing the oil inside 4th arrow. The good thing was that the ball had no trouble kicking the ten out,  although I rung a ten pin in the first pitch of the tenth in the second game that cost us the game. No doubt if I was firm with it at the bottom and gave it room, ten in the pit.

Fusion definitely shows promise.
