Storm IQ Tour A.I. Bowling Ball

Layout : 5.5 x 5 x 3 What I like about this ball is it can be used first out of the bag if needed, but what I like most is I can utilize this ball when the lanes break down. The ball is clean through the heads and still has that good controlled pop on the backend when needed. When the pattern breaks down and I need something to get down lane but still go through the pins I can rely on the !Q Tour Ai to do so. I would say if you are looking for something to add to your bag that can fill in that missing piece, this is the ball that can do it. Chris Galler, 900 Global Staff Member

The Storm !Q Tour AI has quickly become my go-to for shorter patterns and lighter oil volumes. It features the AI Core technology wrapped in the tried-and-true R2S solid coverstock, finished at 4000-grit Abralon, which gives it that smooth, reliable motion that the !Q line is known for — but with a little extra modern punch. For me, this ball is all about control. It gives me a nice, round shape downlane — not overly angular, just smooth and predictable. That makes it a perfect piece when I need to keep my angles in check and stay out of trouble, especially as the lanes start to dry out or when the high-end stuff starts overreacting. The combination of the R2S solid cover and AI Core gives the ball a clean look through the front part of the lane, but it still has enough teeth to read the midlane and roll strong through the pins. It's a great option when the pattern is shorter, the volume is lighter, or I just need something that will blend out the wet/dry and keep me in play. If you’re looking for a ball that brings classic control with modern technology and versatility, the Storm !Q Tour AI should definitely be on your radar.

I am slightly speed dominant, rev challenged 220-250ish, low tilt and high rotation. The Storm !Q Tour A.I. is a strong symmetrical hybrid reactive with medium flare potential. I drilled mine 35 x 4 7/8 x 30. My axis point is 4 3/8 over 1 3/8 up. I love this ball for light and medium oil conditions. It gets down-lane creating predictable and controllable ball motion when theres not much oil . This is the perfect league shot ball that allows you to stay right once all the friction starts to develop.

Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: The IQ Tour AI is another entry into the very popular IQ line for Storm fans. This ball is different than any IQ I have rolled to date. The IQ Tour AI is stronger and rolls smoother than the Ruby and seems to carry very well due to the AI core even though I am not seeing big backend angles. I think the AI core is helping the carry in this ball. This ball covers more boards than I expected and I have had customers tell me the same thing. The IQ Tour AI does not go too long and has a nice smooth shape on various patterns and responds nice with predictability when it sees the friction. I would put this ball above my Road Warrior and below my Phase AI in total hook. I do like the emerald green color of this ball. I did leave the box surface on my IQ Tour AI and it works very well. I did not need to alter the surface on this ball but it does take adjustments easily if required. I would recommend this ball to anyone who wants a medium to strong benchmark ball. I am pretty sure we will see plenty of IQ Tour AI balls on the lanes. I look forward to rolling this ball much more in the future. Summary: The IQ Tour AI is a good benchmark addition to the Storm Line. The ball has just the right amount of strength and predictability. This will be a versatile benchmark ball that shapes nicely on the lane. Glenn Wendel Storm Pro Shop Staff gwendel@comcast.net www.stormbowling.com

The new IQ tour AI is everything you want out of an IQ Tour and more. The core starts up early and provides a strong smooth motion coming out of a shiny ball. Prior to drilling I expected it to be more jumpy, but to my surprise it was a much more rounded shape than I expected. I really like the shape and the motion through the pins. The continuation this ball has, allows me to get left as the lanes break down and not sacrifice carry. This ball is making it into the Nationals bag for sure.

!Q Tour AI - Ball Specs Cover Stock: R2S Hybrid Cover Finish: Power Edge Core: C3 AI Core RG: 2.49 Differential: 0.029 Storms newest IQ brings back the Centripetal Control Core now with A.I. Wrapped with the R2S Hybrid coverstock, which makes this ball more than I ever expected. I was expecting this back to be a little on the smoother side with a controlled backend reaction and I was dead wrong. This ball is very clean through the front part of the lane, but really grabs in the mids, much more than I expected. Where it really shines is its pop on the end, its backend motion is one on of the strongest, if not the strongest, I have in my bag currently. On a house shot, because it can pick up in the mid lane so well, I can throw it games 1and just continue to move left all the way through game 3. This ball will be a great addition to anyone’s bag, so do not wait to get one.

Owen Farish (right handed) Storm Staff Member PAP - 5 5/8 over 1 1/8 up RPM - 475 MPH - 16.5 Brunswick Pro Anvilane 43ft House Shot The new IQ AI is Storm's newest addition in the famous IQ line of bowling balls featuring the new C3 AI core and trusty R2S Hybrid Reactive coverstock with the Power Edge Polish on top. I have left the Power Edge shine on my IQ to gain an understanding of how this ball was supposed to roll out of the box. I can confidently say that the IQ AI is one of the more versatile pieces in my arsenal even with the shine. True to the IQ name, I can very easily manipulate the IQ Ai's shape with my hand and ball speed. I am able to play up the lane with a more rolly hand position, and I am also able to shape the lane with a little softer speed and aggressive hand position. The ball responds to both lines beautifully and maintains energy through the pin deck from all angles. I have also drilled this IQ with a slightly weaker than normal 5 inch pin, and I am still thoroughly impressed with the continuation of the IQ AI. This would be a piece to slot right underneath your benchmark solid piece (Phaze ll for example).

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.
