New ball to complement Storm IQ Tour Pearl???

[MICHAEL]

Okay...this is rare...but I'm agreeing with DHoff twice here in one afternoon...I guess the Lights Out is the biggest step down (and probably most affordable $$$). I guess I'd still recommend the Hy Road ONLY because if I were to "step down"...I'd hate to step down "too far". But, if the OP knows what he's doing...and knows how much of a drop he needs...I guess the Lights Out or FreakNFrantic (same level) would be good choices.

I am still having a hard time fathoming needing a "step down" given my inability to make the ball hook...but thats another story.

I purchased a Lights Out for my oldest son's birthday this last June. He is brand new to bowling at 40 years old, but he is doing 600's now almost every week! Its puts good revs on the ball, and has to move before his second game!

A lot depends on YOUR speed, Rev's Hand positon and relase as to how to you control your hook! I have an IQ Pearl, and it gave me my first 300 back in April this year. I would classify it as a medium hooking ball compared to others I have, like the Virtural Gravity nanno pearl! A ball can be VERY different with the ball surface, and HOW IT IS DRILLED!

So a lot goes into the equation of how to get Less Hook! One guy I know has two of the same brand and make of bowling balls! One drilled weak, the other strong! Lots of ways to attack your situation! (

I went ahead and ordered the Lights Out. From everything I've read and the videos I've seen comparing it and the IQTP I think it is going to do what I want. I will most likely have it drilled similar to how my IQTP in hopes that it will react the same but just have less grip on dryers lanes or when they start breaking down. I should have it next week so we will see. Thanks for the input guys.

Good choice!
