IQ Tour Pearl coming out in December...
« on: October 30, 2012, 12:34:43 PM »
Sometime in December Storm will be releasing the IQ tour Pearl. Ball will have the R2s pearl cover stock. Ball will be Gold in color with blue writing (think Gold Rhino) and smell like butterscotch.

The IQ Tour "Gold" as I call it, is ultra sideways downlane (compared to its counterparts). It is IMHO what the Fire Road should have been. While arguable, the F-Road is tame after the breakpoint (not saying that is bad or good, for me personally its a unique reaction that I personally like since I have higher axis tilt and med ball speed in general)... But the IQT Gold is long like most Road series of balls (minus the Vic Solid), doesn't roll as slow as soon as the Marvel Pearl, but has the bounce off the point similar to most of the other newer "Road" series of balls (I'd say its like combining the Vic Pearl/Marvel Pearl and Grav Shift).

Storms been doing a good job of making their pieces unique in ball reaction that fit slots, while filling voids of other pieces in the line...

I agree with this.  I tend to use more master and thunder line equipment than premier on most patterns.

Threw the IQ Tour Gold in league last night. Ball is as sideways as the Vic Road Pearl, wow!!!!

Clears the fronts obviously as easy as some of the mid-lower line Storm pieces, recovers similar to the Vic Pearl but the traction of the Marvel Pearl and IQ Tour combined. Interesting piece for sure.

I'm guessing it would enter the pins less sideways with a grazing of 4000 abra...

More to come after this weekend, i'll try to throw it at a tourney...
