I was planning on using a Halo Vision or Sync (both at 2000 and 4x4x1 layout) for S/D, but after seeing clips from the 300's shot this weekend, I'm thinking about making a ball change.  I'm thinking of dropping one of the above and replacing it with an IQ Tour Solid with the same layout and surface prep.

Thoughts? 

Are we talking team or singles and doubles.  We had one person that threw three gutters in team.  But it could of been more.  Fortunately he wasn’t playing a lot of swing.🙄🙄

Thanks pinbuster, that’s exactly how we saw it. Although one member of our doubles group still managed to throw a few in the ditch, but you really had to miss it bad.  I see scores really going up for the house hacks.

But it’s the same for everyone.  Think usbc softened the shot on purpose to give everyone a chance to have a good time.  No reason to sit out a year and pay $200 to shoot 120’s.

Just talked to some friends that were out there the past few days and bowled well.

Said they felt like the patterns are very similar to previous years, just less volume, and team has some friction outside right off the get go, thinking it might be a bit softer ratio. Urethane is usable, but probably not the best idea on team. D/S they mentioned the lane surface on the pairs they were on felt like there was a track built in 8-10 area to use as a breakpoint, and just chase in. Be interesting to see how big scores get, as they said it's playable right away, but lack of volume had transition happening extremely fast despite lack of traffic on a pair.

I'm looking forward to bowling this year, we are out there June 1-2, i'll be there a few days before and after if anyone wants to try and meet in person.
