I would think the deranged would not be weaker.  Maybe a little different shape but not weaker

The Deranged is roughly equivalent to the IQTP; so I don't think that's your answer.

While the Freakin Frantic, if drilled very weakly might come close, if you wanted to stay with Storm (the Tropical Breeze is too weak), I've found the RG Shout (solid) and the Scream (pearl) to both be good steps down from my IQTP. They have strong coverstocks but very weak cores.

When the lanes get too dry for the IQTP and I want to go 2 - 4 boards deeper, I can switch to either Shout or Scream and stay where I was or even more back a board or two.

Suggestions could be:

Hyroad Pearl (with a flare decreasing layout, but I find this ball naturally 2-4 brds weaker)
Frantic (1-3 weaker than ^)
Shatter (2-4 weaker than ^)
Shout (4-5 weaker than ^)
Scream

I'd advise the new Scream/Shout are stronger overall compared to the older pieces

Lights Out would fit nicely under the IQ Pearl as well.

Wrecker, the hybrid cover will smooth out the reaction....its one of the few balls that I get excited to ball down to.  My team knows were going to win when the wrecker comes out!

My Wrecker is more ball than the IQTP. I am sure it has more to do with cover and drilling than anything else.

Bowlbelow,


100% agree

I have a Wrecker pin above middle (no hole), it handles relative volume as well as a low(er) rg pearl and has far more direction change than both the IQTP I have (pin down + hole, and pin up + hole).

Id go with the Roto Grip Scream if i were you. It isn't aa weak as advertised. However, it is definetly weaker than the IQ Tour Pearl.

Lights out for sure. I have both and this combo along with my spare ball will be perfect on any league pattern.
