Storm IQ Tour A.I. Bowling Ball

Ball Specs: IQ AI Cover: RS2 Hybrid Reactive Core: C3 AI Finish: Power Edge Scent: Apple Cider Donut Review: The Storm IQ Tour A.I. is a fresh take on a fan-favorite line, combining the classic C3 Centripetal Control Core with cutting-edge A.I. Core Technology to enhance energy transfer and increase pin carry. Wrapped in the reliable R2S Hybrid Reactive coverstock and finished with Power Edge polish, this ball delivers a cleaner look through the front with a stronger, more defined backend motion than the original IQ Tour. It thrives on medium to longer oil patterns, giving bowlers added versatility and confidence in a variety of lane conditions. Visually striking in emerald and black and infused with a unique apple cider donut scent, the IQ Tour A.I. is both a performance upgrade and a sensory experience, making it a strong contender for a benchmark spot in any serious bowler’s arsenal.

Well...I wasn't really into the IQ line that Storm had. I had to try this one though! a..n..d.....I'm glad I did! I did hit it with a 4000 pad after leaving a lot of 10 pins out of the box my 1st set. Then I go bowl a tournament, and 290 out of the gate. This ball with the new AI core, (I love the color and the smell!!! lol) It fits right into my bag. Mine is drilled pin down, im a tweener one handed guy. It fits for me, a little more back end then the Zen25, and a little less that the Equinox. So if were playing "pearls" Harsh reality pearl - Origin - Equinox - IQaI - Zen25 - Road warrior - Lightning blackout. So It fits SO good my the line up for me that I have. I love the way it rolls, I love the way it reads the lane. With the new AI core, you couldn't ask for a great bowling ball to have in your bag. It's a great benchmark ball for me because you see where it fits and...if you need to change balls, then you know.

Ball Specs: Storm IQ Tour A.I. Coverstock: R2S™ Hybrid Reactive Power Edge Core: C3™ A.I. Core (Symmetrical) Color: Emerald/Black Scent: Apple Cider Donut Review: This release is going to be a big one for many reasons. Bringing back arguably one of the most popular IQ balls of all time in the fusion and wrapping the AI core around it is the main one, but the colors and the smell is out of this world. This ball has some major shelf appeal. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). This ball is going to be great for later in blocks or if you love that weak cover/strong core reactions. The IQ tour AI is incredibly smooth down lane (as expected). We bowl back to back leagues with no re-oil so this ball will for sure come into play on that second block when the lanes get a little toasty. This piece will also be great for people with lower ball speed or if you like playing straight up the lane. This ball really fits in any tournament/league arsenal. A must have.

The new IQ Tour A.I. features the R2S Hybrid coverstock and the C3 Centripetal Control Core with A.I. technology. At 15 pounds the RG is low at 2.48 with a differential of .031. This ball comes with the Power Edge factory finish. I must admit, I was very eager to drill this new release, and it did not disappoint! I drilled it with my standard 5 x 5 x 4 drilling which puts the pin right above my bridge. This ball was much more responsive on the backend than I thought it would be. This was a pleasant surprise. This is the most response on the backend of any IQ ball I have ever thrown. It has a much more continuous backend motion than the original IQ Tour. The factory finish makes the IQ Tour AI very clean through the front part of the lane. If it encounters oil too long, it does tend to slide past the breakpoint just a bit, but the backend motion makes up for this in a big way. This is one IQ I can send to the right and not be worried about whether it will make it back to the pocket. I ended up shooting 857 the first set with this ball. I will be getting another one and scuffing the surface just to get it to be a little more controlled and not quite as sensitive to oil. This ball is an absolute beast and a must have in anyone’s bag!

Storms newest addition to the product line is IQ AI. For the first time since the iq fusion we have another hybrid IQ. Using the R2S hybrid cover stock and AI technology wrapped this is the control of the solid with more pop down lane. I drilled mine 50x4x30 with my loft this ball is very clean and really pops off the spot. Extremely versatile and easy to read. This is a great addition to your bag. Stop into your local Storm vip pro shop and ask them about it.

Pattern: 42 Ft house shot Layout: 60 x 4 1/4 x 40 Surface: Box (Power Edge) The new Storm IQ A.I. brings a refreshing look from an already great classic. The IQ A.I follows its predecessor (IQ Tour Fusion) by giving a familiar shape downlane but with an extra zing. The IQ A.I. features the classic R2S coverstock with the added Power Edge finish. Also, the Tour A.I. blends the already forgiving C3 Centripetal Control Core meshed with the A.I. outer shell to enhance the already familiar motion in the proven IQ series. This ball has length, and when it reads the friction, it rolls hard off the spot and finishes with strength into the pocket. This would be a great game 2-3 ball as on the fresh, it went a little too long. Overall, a great transition piece and if you loved the IQ Tour Fusion, you’d love the IQ Tour A.I.

LANE CONDITION Length: 42' Volume: Medium/Heavy Type: Broken down THS from League My Layout: 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 x 1 15/16 Cover Prep: None - OOB Finish COMMENTS Storm description: The Storm IQ Tour A.I. is the latest addition to Storm's esteemed IQ Tour series, integrating advanced A.I. Core Technology with the renowned R2S Hybrid Reactive coverstock. This combination aims to enhance energy transfer upon impact, resulting in a more consistent and powerful ball reaction. My Review: After 10+ games I can clearly see the difference from the R2S pearls. Stronger midlane reaction with continuation at the pins like my Ruby but with the A.I. carry. I believe its the Power Edge polish provides greater friction than Reacta Gloss. I played my usual track area with small moves left to strike with consistentcy. As always you get the trusted shape and readability from the IQ lineup. The R2S Hybrid cover since the Fusion is a welcomed addition since the last releases were pearls. I feel you can add or replace the Ruby in your arsenal for league play. My tournament bag will include both just because I love the Ruby and has proven to be the go to low RG/low diff option when needed. I wonder why this line has such a high retention rate for performance and reliablility on medium oil patterns. Just an overall great addition to any style of bowler in need of a true benchmark ball offering a stronger downlane motion. Lastly: The IQ Tour A.I. is the lastest edition in the famous IQ lineup. It will not disappoint, it successfully blends the proven performance of the IQ Tour series with innovative A.I. Core Technology, reliable reactions with enhanced energy transfer and pin carry. Its versatility makes it a valuable choice for various lane conditions. #stormnation

Storm !Q Tour A.I. Coverstock: R2S Hybrid Finish: Power Edge Core: C3 A.I. RG: 2.53 Differential: 0.036 (14pd) Layout: 5 x 4 x 3 1/2 - 2LS Layout Extras: 2 1/8 Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The !Q series continues on with the new !Q Tour A.I. This updated version of the !Q series features a Power Edge finish to the R2S coverstock. If you have enjoyed the !Q series this is a must have. If you are looking for a great reaction on a variety of house patterns you will want this one in the bag. At the moment, I'm leaving the factory OOB Power Edge finish untouched. In comparison to Reacta Gloss on the !Q Ruby the Power Edge finish provides a nice balance and more controlled reaction. The !Q Ruby for me could be a bit quick off the spot down lane. The !Q Tour A.I. provides great hitting power and did not make me feel the need to get super steep with my angles. In my opinion, the iQ Tour A.I. and the !Q Ruby are different in overall reaction. The !Q Tour A.I. is about 1-2 feet earlier and less whippy off the spot. Both balls fit nicely in the arsenal. Your !Q upgrade will not disappoint. The !Q Tour A.I. is a nice addition for any arsenal and you'll likely find a spot in the bag for most medium/dry THS patterns. The blend of length, overall strength and control provides a lot of options for this piece.

Must have ball which will work on a variety of conditions from fresh to transition. This ball with some surface or out of box provides tons of performance. The IQ AI reads the mid lane earlier than the IQ Ruby and Emerald which allows the bowler to be in this ball sooner than the 2 aforementioned cleaner options. This ball will be great on majority of house conditions and a great step down ball off the stronger symmetrical options like the Zen 25. This ball will be the weakest in my bag for sport conditions and one of the first balls out the bag for transition on house conditions. Scuffed up it is an option on fresh house conditions. Benchmark balls like the IQ AI are imperative selections for a bowlers bag.

Storm iQ Tour AI is the latest installment in the Storms Master Line. We haven’t seen the R2S Hybrid on an iQ Tour since the iQ Tour Fusion and with the enhanced core numbers thanks to the AI being added brings us an RG of 2.48 and diff of 0.031. I drilled mine 4.5 x 4 and I’m going to be quite honest, I haven’t been a true fan of any of the iQ Tours besides the original iQ Tour Solid which I love and still use. They feel very niche to me but this one is different because of the AI. I feel like this one doesn’t miss or go through the spot down lane for me and creates an whole bunch of down lane motion. It is probably about 3/4 stronger than my original iQ Tour with much more motion and continuous down lane. If you loved the iQ Tour and are looking for the perfect ball to use after it without giving away too much of the famous motion it makes or if you are just looking for a little more motion down lane, look no farther than the iQ Tour AI!
