Storm iQ Tour Ruby
« on: March 17, 2023, 07:04:09 PM »
What more can be said about the second longest production ball about the famed iQ Tour. Everyone has either had one or multiple iQ Tours and not just the Solid. iQ Tour Gold & Emerald were super popular among members of the bowling community was well and now with the introduction of the Ruby we have a cleaner shape in the iQ line that we have been missing. I drilled mine 5 x 5 x 3 and my first impressions of throwing this ball is that its a shape in my bag that I don’t have. Now wasn’t a huge fan of either of Gold or Emerald but I absolute love the Blue so I tried to keep the thoughts of the other two out of my head and decided to drill this pin up because I felt the other two were a little more over under for me. I love using the iQ Tour Solid on the fresh on a number of different patterns but when I have to open my angles up it loses some hitting power because of the lower diff in the ball, now with the introduction of the Ruby I am able to keep my angles in front of me a little longer in blocks because of the pearl cover stock so it gives a little more pop off the back end. I believe this ball will be popular among all skill levels of bowlers and you don’t want to miss out!

Storm iQ Ruby
Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout
Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation
Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume)
Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center
Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane

The Storm iQ Ruby continues the legacy of the iQ line.  The sparkling red cover catches your eye then the performance on the lane is reminisce of the ball motion we have all come to expect. The iQ Ruby combines the proven R2S pearl cover with the C3 core.  First impression is a little more hook than the iQ Emerald.  Maybe the red color?  I can see myself going to the iQ Ruby once my Phase V becomes too strong.  I threw it in league last night.  The only negative was it would recover when tugged into the oil; however, the iQ Ruby wasn’t designed for that purpose so not surprising.  My overall impression was the iQ Ruby is a great addition to the Storm line of bowling balls.
