The Rocketship, so what ended up being the overall reception on this ball, now that it's been out for awhile?

I'm real happy with mine. It's one of those rare balls that can be effectively used on most everything but the extremes. On medium to longer volume PBA/sport patterns, it can easily be the best choice for the second ball out of your bag. In many ways it's a better IQ Tour than an IQ tour.

Awesome..something I was hoping to hear!

The Rocket Ship for me is easily 6 more than my IQ Tour. With the added Diff, you're getting more flare and more potential. Mine has stayed in the bag lately because the lane conditions have played drier and once I get deeper in and start targeting inside of 3rd, I can't get the ball to slow down enough to kick the corner out. Overall I'm extremely impressed. However, I feel like this will be one of those balls that are underrated so it'll go by the waste side. Overall to me, this one is the best of the 3 in the Rocket line. The most versatile and usable solid outside of the IQ Tour.

Are you guys saying you find the Rocketship stronger than the IQ Tour?

yes, by a lot.

I don't doubt what you're personally experiencing. But based on my experience with two balls (I have both), 6 boards seems extreme.
 
The Rocketship and IQ Tour share the same R2S coverstock. They're both slotted as medium oil control balls. The difference is the RG and differential of the cores. The IQ Tour has a lower differential, but still has the same 5" flair potential as the Rocketship.
 
Based on the respective drills, I get different hook shapes from the two balls but about the same overall movement. Maybe they can be set up different enough to get the difference you're seeing.

Anyone compared this to the Phaze II yet?

Rocket Ship is a ball down option to the Phaze II, but it doesn't cover as many boards or rev up as fast.

Rocketship is an EXCELLENT ball. And I agree, it's at least an arrow more than the IQ tour. I have both, new, drilled the same. More motion, more flare out of the RS.

It's a ball a lot of the better bowlers in my area have. Meanwhile you see donkeys show up with a Lock, No Rules, Alpha Crux and a spare ball but that's another conversation.

Northface and Righty,

Do you guys see this ball as your more offensive version of the IQ Tour? Some people feel like they are playing defense when using the IQ Tour. I personally liked my Victory Road Solid more than the IQ Tour because it allows me to be aggressive.

Haha yes!

I need one of these ships then. Loving the feedback.  I need to retire my hyroad solid!
