Very informative. I’m 72 and still looking for ways to improve my game. This is a big help. Thanks!

Thanks for all your info, very helpful.

Excellent video Chris! Like how you threw the ball at different speeds. Explained the layout and the surface changes. Then compared the reaction by throwing other balls. Very informative. Appreciate it and keep up the good work!!

Making this ball look like a cheat code from every spot on the lane hahaha

It looks like a Pearl Aftershock, I'm in! :-)

As somebody who uses low-pins often, seeing this is nice

Reminds me of my old Red Melee

Someone on my bowling league gave me an iq emerald, and a roto grip daredevil. And the iq emerald might be my favorite ball.

The tactician from deep!

This is just a little bit stronger than the Hustle Wine right? Im just getting back into bowling after a 20 year hiatus and its great to see that my favorite bowler (Chris) from when i was a little kid is still crushing.

great review i am brand new to Arsenal building. so i am trying to understand why people would want to have some of these balls in bag like hustle USA and Revenant. Right now the only ball i have is Hy-road pearl i dont know if i need 3 balls only or 6 since im new

If could only have the solid or the ruby which would you recommend?

I think some of the reason I struggle on a typical house shot in league is because I’m always throwing the latest high performance release at the time…..I’ve learned that in league play, balls like this are more than suitable….won’t over react or burn up early and somewhat controllable….kinda reminds me of old balls such as a green messenger or a red alert danger zone….not to say that Mr Barnes, I’m sure can throw an old rubber house ball and make it look good. If it wasn’t for a few stone 8 and 9’s, Chris would have about 35-40 titles, there’s no doubt in my mind…he is just that naturally gifted and when you throw all that practice on top of that….best bowler I know is from 300 Bowl in Waterford, Mi (and actually looks like a cross between Chris Barnes and Randy Pedersen), he’s a Michigan Hall of Famer, and as great as he is, after the few professional events he participated in, said that you cannot fathom how good these guys are out on tour until you actually see them up close and personal….Mr. Barnes is one of the greatest to have ever played the game!!

Any overlap if I already have a Hustle Wine?

when Kent (from Real Genius 1985) comes out and rolls a ruby .. enough said here .. lol

I just pre-ordered the Ruby IQ, I am tempted to put the Gold, Emerald, and Ruby IQ all in the bag at the same time :)

i did preorder. after losing a tornamet to a senior using the gold one on burned lanes. You needed to sneak tight to catch oil and then hope it could finish and not leave 10"s. If you got outside just a hair too much , high head pin, left lots of 6-10 leaves. He lays this gold iq on the oil with some revs, long it goes and never leaves a 10 pin. so smooth.

Pin down on certain symmetrical weight blocks, such as all the IQ's, makes it read the midlane a bit more. Thus smoothing out the backend

@@steveboone1498 pin down balls mean the ball is weaker, therefore retaining energy on the backend, and pin up makes it reed sooner and be overall more ball. For example ive had a few Phase II's, and the first two were standard layouts for me, then I drilled a lot weaker one. Its overall less ball but extremely noticeable how much more energy it retained, therefore creating more backend.
