Figured this was the ball Chad McLean has on IG after looking at the approved list.

Ehh I'm into it personally. Save the 2 or 3 colors for a new fusion release.

It’s not even really the color of the ball but the brownish orange logo just don’t work. I would have gone with a gold, red, or maybe blue.

Storm is infamous for their pours on certain balls coming out looking nothing like the rendering. It'll probably look and roll well.

Nano covers handle oil and friction a lot differently, so while you may not see much difference on a standard house shot, they're likely to be quite different in other situations.  With the IQ line being designed more for tournament bowlers and less for your average league bowler, the application for both of these should offer some solid diversity on tougher patterns.
