A Review from Dustin S. of bowlingball.com.
Pin to PAP(6 3/16" over 1/2" down) - 6 1/4"
PSA Layout - 6 1/4 x 6 3/8 x 3"
Balance Hole - n/a
Surface Preparation - Out of Box (4000 Grit Abralon)
What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
After looking at the core numbers and the fact that it's called the "Tour (http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/Storm/10351/IQ-Tour.html)", I was expecting something predictable, smooth and versatile. I also was expecting a ball that wouldn't be overly aggressive.
On tough conditions you want a ball that is easy to read and something with a controllable reaction. I was expecting exactly that from the IQ Tour (http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/Storm/10351/IQ-Tour.html).
What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
I got half of what I expected from the IQ Tour (http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/Storm/10351/IQ-Tour.html): predictable, smooth and versatile. What I wasn't expecting was for this ball to hook the way it did! The Tour was more aggressive than it's IQ brother with very good length for a matte finished, solid coverstock. The IQ Tour (http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/Storm/10351/IQ-Tour.html) has an easy-to-read but strong backend reaction.
This ball reminds me of one of the Top 3 favorite balls of all-time, the Storm T-Road Solid, Ball of the Year for 2007. Not only is the color almost the same, but the reaction is almost dead on! If you ever threw the TRS, you know how amazing it was. To be able to have that reaction in my bag again makes me very excited!
This ball is a guaranteed winner. It isn't the most exciting looking ball, but the scores you put up will be. Get one in your hands!
