seen a lot of idol reviews. I had haywire and wore it out. Several 700 series with it, almost a couple 300's. I was told the idol would be a good replacement. It never was. when I first got it, it would finish hard but was way too continuous motion for me. Several people bought idols after watching mine. The slow rev speed challenged players got rid of their idols. Constant 10 pins when the lanes carried down. Once this ball gets lane shine or carry down, better be able to make 10 pins. I would adjust to get rid of 10 pins, but then leave solid 9, sometimes 8-10, or get it tighter and leave 4 pin. I could string strikes with it, but had to find the shot and not miss by an inch. The haywire had a 4-5 inch margin, idol maybe 1 inch. I tried all kinds of surface prep, the best was 500 pad for a big move. Tried a polish shine, did get more snap. But that would last 7-8 frames. I bowled against a real good bowler who was throwing an idol pearl. several 3-4 pin buckets left and washouts on the same conditions I was throwing my idol solid. I could at least get to the pocket, but if I swung it too far out, solid 10 pin. A lot of good reviews done by very good bowlers here, but in the real world average bowlers, the idol is a flop. I almost put mine on a pole in the yard. I am trying one more layout to see if I can get it to face up better to the pocket. Overrated ball.
Loved my haywire, just lost it's performance over the time I had it. Usually throw it on short patterns otherwise it doesn't have a use these days. Wish I had another, I'm still on the hunt for one!
Quick Ball Review I would but I heard the horror stories of the idol's cover soaking up fast so I've been hesitant on getting one. Heard a lot of good things about it as well, though.
njs300800 Sorry man I got one back in November, must've sold out. Im not surprised though considering how good it is. You might be able to find one on bowlingball.com though.
I have a Haywire that is the nuts right now it's hook set motion is crazy good right now. I dont cover as many boards as the tester. Which allows me to be firm more up the back of the ball. My carry from those angles is really good when the Haywire is in play.
when you have a rap 10 or miss any corner pin, its not the ball its the shot, the entry angle, any ball can leave corner pins, its the entry angle when hitting the pocket so its not a correct shot when leaving the corners, not the ball's fault.
1 out of the 20 or so shots, lol?? We don’t show only strikes on this channel, If you’d like to see that there are a 100 other channels that show it. Thanks for tuning in.

was a great ball no doubt, glad that you still have a use for it! I would try an Idol if you wanted to test it out :)

I recently bought a Haywire for my dad. Hopefully he will get a 300 with it.

I have the haywire but it was unpredictable
