    I bought an Uproar this year to ball down to when conditions changed. I'm loving it right now and will like it even more once it gets more games on it and takes a bit. It hooks quite a bit right now but I can control it. I typically start with a Totally Defiant in one particular house and will ball down to the uproar. It has been a great combo for this house so far. There have been a few nights when it wasn't ideal, depending on where the rest of the guys are playing.

I had the thumb oval opened side to side a little bit last week, but it still seems like most of snugness on my thumbhole is coming from the sides and not top to bottom. I also know that a span that is a little short could cause this issue, but I will have my PSO have a look.
    Nice ball, I play with several guys that love this ball!

    Glad you like it. The IQ Tour Edition was one of my favorite balls. I got my Tour, Uproar and a few others used. Won two here and one at the center's raffle. For awhile I stopped buying new due to disappointment. Then I learned how to interpret the specs and found a PSO that would GUARANTEE I loved a ball or he would drill up a different one for FREE. That's how my relationship with PBA50 pro Bob Kelly began at Golden Approach pro shop inside Capri Lanes in Kettering, Ohio

    Since going to Bob I not only have learned even more about balls, layouts, drilling but have met a lot of good people in the industry either through Bob or Shannon.
    Since February I purchased from him a Motiv Venom Shock, Motiv Octane, Motiv Venom Panic, Motiv Covert Revolt and Motiv Tag. Bought an Ebonite Cyclone online that we drilled RICO.
    The Revolt I picked up and bowled our State tourney at his center. Out of the box and cashed. Is now my all time favorite ball.

    My IQ Tour finally came in and I got it drilled yesterday. I ised it in league last night. Very clean and seamed to have some much energy left for the backend. Drilled pin-up (between middle and ring). Also had my span adjusted longer which was much more comfortable and ended up giving me more revs. I didnt have my other equipment plugged/redrilled to match as I wanted to see how I liked this fit first. I missed my plastic ball terribly. I was missing my right side spares all night. Tried to flatten out and break my wrist with the IQ, but I have grown accustomed to the plastic. I tried to throw it a couple of times, but after using the new span on the IQ, I couldn't help but squeeze on the shorter span of the plastic and couldn't get comfortable. I have a fem small changes I want my PSO to make to my slug and perhaps go up a size on the inserts in the new ball - but after I get things just right I'm gonna get my other stuff plugged and drilled to match. Either way, loved what I was getting from the IQ - should be a great ball for me.
