Today we are comparing my personal favorite ball ever the Storm !Q Tour Solid to the new kid on the block the !Q Tour Ruby!
Storm IQ Tour Ruby Bowling Ball
In many cultures, ruby is considered the traditional gift for a 40th wedding anniversary. Since Storm began manufacturing bowling balls in 1991, we know that your relationship with us hasn’t hit the four-decade mark yet, but that’s okay. You’ve been good, so we’re going to give you your ruby now. With that, we’re proud to present your next love in bowling, the !Q Tour Ruby.
Powering the !Q Tour Ruby is the proven C3 Centripetal Control Core that has made the !Q Tour line the industry’s go-to option for predictable, benchmark reaction. In the !Q Tour Ruby, the C3 Core will provide a combination of power and forgiveness that simply can’t be matched. This will allow you to maintain control of the pocket at all times without sacrificing the hooking motion and hitting power needed to put up big scores and stay ahead of the competition.
The original !Q Tour became famous with R2S, and the !Q Tour Ruby will be no exception. The !Q Tour Ruby will feature R2S Pearl and will come in a 1500-grit polished box finish that will make the one-color ruby pearl cover simply shine. But good looks are just the window dressing. On the lanes, R2S Pearl provides the highest coefficient of dry lane friction of any coverstock we have to offer. That allows the !Q Tour Ruby to easily glide through the front of the lane on most conditions before charging back to the pocket with all the carrying power you’re ever going to need.
