My first release day ball. It's like an angry IQ Tour!

“Angry IQ Tour” is now my new favorite way that someone has described this ball lmao

I switched from vacu-grips (does everyone call them that?) back to normal fingertip inserts and averaged 16 above my book over 12 games on a burned heavy house shot. All the early read of Physix with the predictability of IQ Tour, it's a great ball. Can't wait to roll it for league next week. Doesn't hurt that it smells great, too!

360rpm, 16.5mph at the the pins, ~40° axis rotation, ~5° axis tilt. Pin slightly out and over my ring finger, just like the Physix back there.

You don’t see too much overlap with the PhysiX? I thought about getting one but it seems too close. How different is the shape? Do you have the original Soniq?

There's overlap, yes indeed. Physix left a lot of 9 pins for me so I switched to this one to shallow out entry angle a bit. I favor symmetricals anyway, they are just easier for me to understand and I find them to be more forgiving. I don't own a Son!q yet, I've been thinking about snagging one through summer ball league.

Okay that’s what I figured. Man that looks like a good ball I just don’t really see the need for one since I already have a PhysiX and a Soniq with the polish knocked off. Have fun with that ball man!

Marketing materials and opinions of others didn't factor into it for me. I know the coverstock and the weight block from my other equipment, and so far it has matched up just as I hoped. Sometimes you just have to try something out.

I love you, outcast person. You are heard and your take is valid. I invite you to expound this comment so I may learn. Please humor me and start from the most basic principles forward, as I am likely considered a pupal novice in comparison to your experiences, research, and accomplishments. If you would kindly provide diagrams, audio, and video for my benefit, I am prepared to allot my remaining afternoon to study. Though I would prefer these materials in English, I understand if a different language is necessary and will dutifully accommodate.
