Bummer. My 3 IQ Tours have made me a lot of money across a variety patterns. Just led a house shot tournament with one two weeks ago.

IQ Tour with a 5” p2p is an absolute house shot killer for me. IQ Tour with 3.5” p2p is a fantastic starter ball on sport shots.

Oh well, time to find a new favorite!

Looking at storm’s website, it’s stull in production, as well as remaining to be sold on numerous bowling currently; But eventually it will bite the dust and something else (hopefully something special also)  will fill its shoes.

I might have jumped the gun. It was off the site, but I see it is there again...

Coming around on mine but its still no Venom Shock at least for THS.  Storm will probably bring it back in the future regardless with a new color scheme and something that doesn't smell like apple pie.

It like the Hyroad isn't going anywhere for a while, no rumors at all.

Between my Covert Revolt, !Q Tour, and recently purchased Hustle Ink, I have pretty much all conditions covered (Luke, you were on point about the performance of the Ink).

I'll have an Ink ready next week. I'm pumped for it!

Sadly the Ink would be a dry ball for my style and don't see much dry these days (my poor Path Rising is collecting dust).  Really looks like a winner at that price point for majority of bowlers and is a great ball down for the transition.

It is a great ball for the price, it is too bad you don’t have space in your arsenal for it.  Alonzo, enjoy as is hard for me to take out of my hands, it’s that good.

Looking at your arsenal Alonzo, it will FIT right between your !Q and your black hammer also.

Any word on the Torrent?

Not as of yet...... Torrent is such a UNDERRATED ball.

Agreed. Just picked one up a few weeks ago and it's already made me money. Definitely want to grab another. Literally feels like a solid Hy-Road for me (more teeth and midlane with the same continuation). I'm really scared of what Storm will do next in the Thunder line. Don't really know why it hasn't sold better.

so IQTOUR or INK? What would be better for the burn?

Hustle Ink for sure; Just used it this past Thursday, and it’s one of the predictable, even rolling light oil pieces that I’ll ever throw.  To me, it’s a benchmark for light/med oil as Luke describes it, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

As mentioned, I wish I had room for a torrent, but the slot is filled already.  ☹️

Yep. It's like an early 2000's Honda Accord. You know it'll get the job done, but I mean....

For the masses, yes, it was an awesome ball though.

Yeah, Torrent will likely be discontinued soon but just because it has zero shelf appeal.  It's actually one of the top 3 balls in the line right now in my opinion.

I just put my Torrent in my donation bin.  I have tried multiple surface adjustments and just can't get it to work for me.
