!Q Tour AI - Ball Specs Cover Stock: R2S Hybrid Cover stock Finish: Power Edge Core: C3 AI Core Layout: 65 x 5 x 35 RG: 2.49 Differential: 0.029 Review The !Q Tour AI is the newest addition to the !Q line series. For me the !Q Tour AI is one step above the !Q Ruby pearl. The R2S hybrid cover stock paired with the proven C3 Core with AI technology allows me more forgiveness when playing straighter on the fresh and deep inside on the burn. It feels like a stronger !Q Ruby. I tested this ball on a 42 feet typical house pattern. As mid to low rev player l was able to stand right of center on the fresh and as far left as the 30 board on the burn without losing any carrying power. This ball will be in my bag for league and tournaments. Order one from your local pro shop today! My ball review videos are posted on YouTube channel Stanley Waite.

I think the answer is simple- they build success from success! And the new Storm !Q Tour A.I. is an excellent example of that philosophy. Storm has taken their proven C3 - Centripetal Control Core, combined with their score-rewarding R2S Hybrid Coverstock, and combined them with the striking power of Storm's A.I. Core technology. The result is the new !Q Tour A.I., another long-lasting ball to fit any straighter player's arsenal! So, let's take a closer look at what's behind the success of the !Q Tour A.I. The C3 –Centripetal Control Core has always been a smooth, rolling, predictable core. In the past, as a straighter player, I could count on the C3 to deliver a smooth, predictable, and controllable motion for my straighter game. In the new !Q Tour A.I., I was pleased to see those same score-propelling attributes deliver the same consistency I look for in my straighter game. However, when you surround the C3 with A.I. Core technology, the new !Q Tour A.I. becomes an explosive striking machine, especially for my low–rev, straighter bowling style. The !Q Tour A.I. has an intense amount of striking power because of the A.I. Core Technology. And with that added boost to the C3 Core, I found outstanding continuation that kicked out the corners on my weak hits and tripped the four on those I came in too high. So, the C3 A.I. Core inside the !Q Tour A.I. is an excellent fit for my straighter low-rev game. Storm couldn't have chosen a better coverstock than the R2S Hybrid to surround the !Q Tour A.I. The R2S Hybrid delivers some of the most consistent and reliable results; any straighter player would love them. I liked how R2S cleared the front part of the lane with ease. Following that ease, I liked how my !Q found smooth traction in the mid-lane, making my !Q Tour A.I. consistent and predictable all night. The R2S Hybrid Coverstock gave the !Q A.I. a clean turn-off of the pattern. And with the crisp response the R2S has with the factory Power Edge finish, I enjoyed a backend motion that was strong and predictable yet allowed my !Q Tour A.I. to unleash a significant amount of energy as it made its way through the pins. So, I found the R2S Hybrid Coverstock with the factory Power Edge finish makes the !Q Tour A.I. a ball any straighter low-rev player would love. In closing, Storm has done an outstanding job creating the !Q Tour A.I. I found the !Q Tour A.I. to be an excellent combination of Storm's proven success of the C3 Core and R2S Hybrid Coverstock and combining it with Storm's new cutting of A.I. technology. Straighter players and those who are rev-challenged will find the !Q Tour A.I. a fantastic ball that gives you consistent and predictable motion you can depend on and the striking power to keep you scoring. So, stop at your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and see how the new Storm !Q Tour A.I. will fit into your arsenal! The !Q Tour A.I. is well worth the investment!

The newest ball from Storm is the IQ Tour AI! When you hear of a new IQ bowlers get excited. My personal favorite of bowling ball of all time is Storm IQ Tour Pearl (Gold Ball). So I have always been a big fan of the IQ series. Plus this new IQ Tour as the AI core technology which is huge plus! I drilled mine 4.5x 4 x 1.75 pin up. I have drilled all the IQ tour and to me the IQ Tour AI is the strongest down lane. With the R2S Hybird Coverstock and the AI this new IQ is just one of those ball you put your favorite drilling on this ball and go strike! For me I really can't miss too far right and not hit the pocket on the house shot. When the medium balls start to bog down a little like the Idol series, Rock Star, and the bigger asymmetrical balls it is perfect time to switch to IQ Tour AI. Plus the IQ Tour AI has great shelf appeal with the green and black colors! The IQ Tour AI has a chance at Ball of the Year its that good!

The layout on my ball is 40 x 4 1/4 x 65. The !Q tour series has always been my favorite line, especially with a medium-low differential. But the motion of this !Q A.I. is absolutely phenomenal! For this ball to have a pin down layout, this has such a dynamic downlane motion. I wanted this layout to keep my angle closer to the pocket, while still retaining energy for the pins. This ball does absolutely that. With the R2S coverstock, it provides a great amount of skid, and with the new A.I. core, the differential has increased to give you a little more downlane motion, a little more “pop” off the friction and provides a great continuation through the pins. The !Q Ruby gives a more rounder yet continuous shape. This is the first !Q that I have seen that provides a more dynamic downlane motion off the spot, and for this to be the first hybrid that has been seen since the !Q Fusion, this ball DOES NOT MISS!

The !Q tour is back, this time with a hybrid twist! Introducing the brand new symmetrical Storm !Q Tour AI. This is Storm’s first !Q hybrid ball not seen since the !Q Fusion. The legacy of the C3 core returns, this time with AI technology, and tops off with a Power Edge finish that guarantees eye-catching appeal and impressive on-lane performance. With the RS2 hybrid coverstock, the !Q Tour AI is designed to elevate greater control and surface longevity. Ball layout: 75 x 4 ¾ x 40 (same as Optimum Idol Pearl for comparison). I tested my !Q AI at my home center of Cortlandt Lanes in Cortlandt Manor, NY. Contested on its 43ft THS, I found the AI to be quite impressive with the transition later during the session. While it wasn’t favorable in the beginning on the fresh, the ball gave me more length and control in the backend. Ideally, I waited until the transition started to open up and could move across the boards with my feet and give it a little swing. Once I progressed, I started to get an earlier read, more midlane control, resulting to a smooth backend finish just as you would see in the infamous !Q line. Like some symmetrical pearls I have laid out, this ball allowed me to stay in the same line most of my shots, and not causing it to over hook in the track area. Comparing it to my Optimum Idol Pearl (same layout), I saw the !Q to be a little cleaner downlane, whereas the Idol Pearl would read a few boards earlier. With its Power Edge finish, I would ideally see the !Q AI being used later in game blocks, preferably a game 2-3 ball once the fresh dries out, on medium lane conditions, as well as those THS patterns that have less volume. As a fan favorite of the !Q tour series, I would definitely recommend this ball for all bowlers. Be sure to stop by your local pro shop and drill up an !Q Tour AI, you won’t be disappointed with this great piece!! Thomas Coco (storm staffer)

Cover: R2S Hybrid Reactive Core: C3 + A.I. RG: 2.48 RG. Diff.: 0.031 Finish: Power Edge Fragrance: Apple Cider Donut Storm’s new IQ Tour A.I. is a Hybrid Symmetrical piece that is good for Medium Volume patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers and CG kicked out 1” from the palm. I threw this piece on Chemeleon pattern. Out of Box ball motion was clean through the fronts with a strong backend reaction through the pins. I compared this to the IQ Tour. IQ Tour was 2-2 Right. IQ Tour started earlier In the mids with a smooth motion on the backend compared to the AI. IQ Tour AI will be good to go to after the IQ Tour starts to burn up in the fronts. This piece will be good for all types of styles. This is a good compliment to the OG IQ Tour. Check Out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: https://youtube.com/shorts/lrISMyDPNQg?feature=share

I drilled the new !Q Tour AI 4.75x4.5x2. This layout is one of my favorites as it gets the ball to change direction quickly for me. This ball features the famous C3 AI Core inside the equally famous R2S Hybrid Cover. This re-make of the !Q Fusion is more than likely going to be the most popular release of the year! This ball gives me a clean motion through the front and the middle of the lane, retaining enough energy to have that patented !Q motion down lane. This ball fits in the ball 3-4 range for me in a tournament bag. I highly recommend picking one of these up!
