Started my summer league in a new house I played a total of 5 times since I knew about it (synthetic approach and synthetic lanes which I hate, always get stuck). And with the A/C out which made my life living hell, I switch to a very slick sole and

So I got my iQ tour back and I couldn't really get a good read on it because the thumbhole was just way too big. I don't know how that happened or where the mix up was. But I had them re-slug the ball for me and that was a little better. I was still
