Question:
Would this ball fit in between a storm trend and a roto grip mvp?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Yes, this would be a nice fit between those options and would help you transition into medium oil conditions when the Trend is a too strong and when the MVP is not quite strong enough.

Question:
Would this ball fit between my Storm promotion and Trend?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
I do not think this would fit between the Pro-Motion and Trend. This is an upper mid performance ball and the other two are both high performance so this would fit under both balls. It has good length so it reacts more similar to the Trend but it will be less hook potential than the Pro-Motion and Trend.

Question:
How does this ball compare to Storm Axiom Pearl
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball will be very similar to the Axiom but reads just a little earlier due to the Hybrid coverstock. The Idol Synergy actually would closer match to the Phaze III.

Question:
Would this ball be a good fit between the Proton and the Iq nano pearl
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Both the Proton Physix and IQ Tour Nano will have duller finishes. The IQ Tour Nano does have a pearl coverstock which will give it a little more length than the Proton Physix but they will both still read earlier than the Idol Synergy which has a polished finish out of the box. Also, the Idol Synergy is rated mostly for medium oil while the Proton Physix is heavy oil only and the IQ Tour Nano was more for medium to heavy. I would not see this ball as fitting between the Proton and IQ Tour Nano. I think this would be an option for when the IQ Tour Nano was reading too strong or too early and then you could move to this as the lanes break down some.

Question:
I roll a hard backup would work for me
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Yes, you will just need to tell your driller to drill the ball for a backup roller and they can get a layout that will help this ball work for your style.

Question:
How does this ball compare to the HyMax
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Idol Synergy would go longer on the lanes because it has a hybrid coverstock with a polished finish and the Hy-Road Max has a solid cover with a duller finish. Also the Synergy is an upper mid performance compared to the mid performance Hy-Road Max so the Synergy has a stronger hook potential

Question:
how close to the idol pro is the roto grip synergy
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Out of the box the Synergy has a hybrid coverstock and a polished finish which will give it more length and a sharper backend than the Idol Pro which has a solid coverstock and duller finish. They have the same weight block but the cover and finish are the big difference.

Question:
How does the synergy compare to the 900 global reality
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
These bowling balls will have a very different reaction. The Idol Synergy is an upper mid performance ball with a hybrid cover and polished finish to give the more length with a bigger backend hook. The Reality is a high performance ball with a solid cover and duller finish to read the lanes earlier for a smooth arcing hook. The Idol Synergy is better in medium oil while the Reality is more for heavier oil conditions.

Question:
How does this compare to the Storm Hyroad?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
They will be very similar but the Synergy would be just a little stronger since it was in the upper mid performance class and the Hy-Road was more in the mid performance class. They will have similar length on the lanes and both work well in medium oil conditions.

Question:
How would this compare to a Phaze II?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball would actually compare closer to the Phaze III. The Phaze II is a solid reactive cover with a dull finish to help it read earlier on the lane for a smoother arcing hook. The Idol Synergy has a hybrid cover and polished finish to go down the lane and break more on the backend with a sharp hook.

Question:
much difference between this and the incite ?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Out of the box the Synergy is a polished finish which will give it more length compared to the Incite which has a duller finish to read earlier on the lane. The extra length on the Synergy will also make this ball work more in medium oil and the duller finish on the Incite help it work more in medium to heavy oil.

Question:
would this ball be a good compliment to the Omega crux?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Yes, this ball will work better in medium oil while the Omega Crux is more designed for heavy oil. Also the Idol Synergy will give you a little more length than the Omega Crux to help it finish later on the lanes which is good as the lanes are breaking down.

Question:
Will this ball fit better with a Storm Virtual Energy and Rotogrip Winner? My son in law has problems bowling in our house lanes, light to medium oil esp on game 3 of weekly league.
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball would actually be a little stronger hook potential than the Winner so if you needed something to move to in lighter oil and the Winner was too strong you may have to move down into something like the Hustle line or even the Tropical Surge line to work in light oil

Question:
How would this ball fit into a bag with the trend and Astro physix?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Idol Synergy would help you in your more medium oil conditions but it may read just slightly earlier than the Trend and Astrophysix. The Idol Synergy is an upper mid performance ball so it was not as strong as the high performance balls but this can help it work a little better in medium oil as the lanes transition.

How does this ball compare to the motiv coral blue

The Idol Synergy is going to have a higher hook potential. It is rated as an upper mid performance ball for medium oil while the Blue Coral Venom is a mid performance ball for medium to lighter oil. They both have hybrid coverstocks but the Idol Synergy has a polished finish to give it more length and a sharper backend than the Coral Venom.
