Storm IQ Tour Nano Bowling Ball Review

This May Just be the Benchmark Nano…

First Impressions With the amount of hook the Storm IQ Tour Nano offers, this may be the “hookingest” bowling ball to use the Nanotechnology cover.

Our Testers: Tester #1 Shaun English – 230 avg Power Stroker: 405 rpm PAP: 4 5/8 & 1/4 up Axis tilt: low-medium Axis rotation: >45 degrees Layout: 30 x 4.5 x 75

Tester #2 Eric Erb – 230 avg Power Player: 450 rpm PAP: 4 3/4 & 1 up Axis Tilt: low Axis Rotation: ~45 degrees Layout: 30 x 4 3/4 x 60

Tester #3 Sean Jensen – 230 avg Power Player: 375 rpm PAP: 5 1/8 & 0 up Axis Tilt: low Axis Rotation: 30-45 degrees Layout: 30 x 4 3/4 x 60

Keep in mind that coverstock accounts for 70% of ball reaction, but the core creates the dynamic shape of the reaction. Your driller will alter the shape to suit your game.

Test Patterns: 41ft THS, 12:1, 24ml House: 222 Dutch Lanes, Ephrata, PA

Value 8.5/10 The IQ Tour Nano represents a heavy oil symmetrical ball with strong backend motion. It offers decent value as it sits in the Master Line for Storm. Versatility will be limited due to the aggressive nature of the ball but gains some due to having a symmetrical core.

Specs The Storm IQ Tour Nano combines 2 proven entities to form a new ball motion for Storm. This ball uses the NRG™ Solid Reactive Nano which was originally used on the Virtual Gravity Nano and Marvel-S. The now popular C³™ Centripetal Control Core is used un this ball. The RG is 2.49 with a diff of 0.029 for a 15 pound ball.

Overall 8.5/10 The Storm IQ Tour Nano offers a very aggressive motion overall. The NRG Nano cover actually offers decent length. However, this ball really stands up and trucks to the pocket. For a typical house shot, all 3 bowlers found the shot pretty quickly. However, the ball is unnecessarily strong for each of them. They all had to get fairly deep but none had any trouble carrying whatsoever. Tester #1 Shaun was playing very deep. He’s got good axis rotation and can wheel the ball from pretty much anywhere. The ball never labored for him despite attempting to loft the gutter cap. You can see in the video just how aggressively the ball turned over for him. You really don’t worry about this ball reading the midlane which is a major benefit of aggressive balls. On the flip side, he couldn’t really play from further outside 16 at the arrows. The ball was simply too aggressive for him. He could use the Storm IQ Tour Nano on Heavy to Medium conditions with excellent carry. Tester #2 Eric Erb plays a bit more direct than Shaun due to his more end over end roll and higher speed. He has a slightly higher rev rate. Eric had to be slightly more accurate and avoid the outside part of the lane. With the higher rev rate, the ball simply burned up in the mids when he lost it outside and it would not recover. He has this issue with balls that have highly aggressive covers. However, again, he can get in and wheel the ball. For Eric, between the 3rd and 4th arrow was the sweet spot. For the higher rev rate and lower tilt, the ball is better for Heavy to Medium/Heavy conditions. Tester #3 Sean Jensen had a very good look with the IQ Tour Nano, just about as good as Shaun. He has a slightly lower rev rate than the other 2 guys but is more end over end than either of them. Sean had very good forgiveness (read “room”) and excellent carry. He can throw it straighter than the other 2 bowlers but also get into that 4th arrow zone without losing hit at the pocket.

Highlights The Storm IQ Tour Nano is a strong ball that’s very punchy. With the lower diff of this ball, it allows for a potent move off the backends. Adding this core to the NRG cover means this ball really stands up past the midlane. Nobody saw the ball labor to transition whatsoever. The lower the rev rate, the more versatile this ball will be for you. I love balls that stand themselves up without the bowler having to do much. The low RG and low diff are a perfect match for the NRG cover. This ball is stronger and more aggressive than the Zero Gravity. The Zero Gravity is smoother off the spot. The IQ Tour Nano is a symmetrical compliment to the new asymmetrical Storm Crux.

Storm IQ Tour Nano

9 years ago

The IQ TOUR line has been a mixed bag for me: the SOLID was not very good for me, the PEARL is one of my all-time favorites, and the FUSION was sometimes great and sometimes not. 

The key seemed to be how C3 Centripetal  core  (a symmetrical) and cover worked together — the R2S Solid of the IQ TOUR SOLID was not a good match for me, as I noted in my review  here , while the R2s Pearl of the IQ TOUR PEARL was a great match for my moderate speed and revs. 

It’s always fascinated me that two of the most popular and successful Storm balls of all time — the HY-ROAD and IQ TOUR SOLID — just didn’t do much for me, despite numerous  surface  tweaks and re-drillings.

I always tell people that different balls work for different people because everyone throws it differently. And I always point to my experiences with those two mega-successful balls as perfect evidence.

Meanwhile, the VIRTUAL GRAVITY NANO was a ball I had some great success with, most notably in the last two games of our winning team event at the 2011 USBC Open Championships.

But, of course, that very strong NRG solid cover with the very strong asymmetrical Shape-Lock HD  core  made it a ball suitable only for heavy oil for me.While I hoped for a more versatile version of the NANO at some point, the NANO PEARL wasn’t it for me — it was one of the toughest balls for me to throw, though I know some people who had success with it. It was just a solid 9/weak 10 ball for me, somewhat akin to the IQ TOUR SOLID.

When I heard the IQ TOUR NANO was coming out with the marriage of the NRG solid cover and the C3 Centripetal  core  I was intrigued, but not overly excited.

After roughly a month of use, I would describe myself as excited, or at least extremely satisfied, with the IQ TOUR NANO: It appears to be the perfect marriage of cover and  core  for me.

We know that coverstock is by far the most important factor in ball reaction, so I knew the IQ TOUR NANO would mostly be an oil ball for me.

What has more than pleasantly surprised me is that the C3 Centripetal core has given me what I wanted when the original VG NANO came out: a more versatile version of that ball that I could use on more than heavy oil that wasn’t too broken down.

At the WSBT Over 40/Under 40 Doubles on Thanksgiving weekend, I used my IQ TOUR NANO the entire day on a lane pattern a little softer than a Sport pattern, other than the couple of shots with the OPTIMUS and a couple of trial shots with a Storm CRUX.

I won the tournament with Andy Mills – details are in my blog here .

And the first weekend of December, I bowled the GIBA/SSBT Over 50/50 4-Man and Doubles tournament at Cadillac Lanes in Waterloo, Iowa and struck a ton all weekend on the wet-dry house shot using the IQ TOUR NANO more than 90 percent of the time.

Over the two weekends, I played from around 10-board at the arrows to nearly 25-board at the arrows, with both fairly direct angles and opening up the lane (by my geezer standards).

In all cases it rolled strong but smooth, rarely squirting in the oil, but not jumping off the end of the oil line either. The only way shots squirted for me is if I got it in AND missed it, and the only way they jumped high is if I got it right very early.

And this was on a pattern PBA Tour champion Tom Hess, who I bowled with, struggled mightily with over/under reaction all weekend.

When I threw it well, my carry was outstanding both weekends.

This is exactly the kind of ball motion I need at age 52, with ball speed of maybe 17 miles per hour and a rev rate probably under 300.

I drilled my IQ TOUR NANO basically the same as my Roto Grip HYPER CELL, with the pin fairly high above the fingers and a strong drilling angle of 60 degrees.

My re-measured PAP numbers are 4 inches over and 5/8 up, and my IQ TOUR NANO ended up 4 1/4 pin to PAP, 3 3/8 MB to PAP, and 2 1/4 pin buffer.

I left the 4,000-grit cover untouched for the Over 40/Under 40 weekend and it lane shined plenty in nine games, but that actually worked well because the lanes also were breaking down.

For the 50/50 weekend, I used a Turbo Sandbagger with a 1,500- and then a 2,500-grit pad before both days. That gave me plenty of grab in the heavy oil of the house pattern, but no issues with early hook.

Compared to Storm’s other recent release, the CRUX, the IQ TOUR NANO is much smoother in motion, which is much better for me. The CRUX I would definitely call stronger and absolutely more angular than the IQ TOUR NANO. My CRUX review is here .

That will make the CRUX better for some than the IQ TOUR NANO … and there definitely will be times when I go with the CRUX over the IQ TOUR NANO. But there is no doubt in my mind that the IQ TOUR NANO is going to get far more use for me than the CRUX and probably will be my go-to starting benchmark ball on all but low-oil conditions for the foreseeable future.

I also compared the NANO to the Roto Grip SINISTER, a strong asymmetrical as the CRUX is, and would estimate that the IQ TOUR NANO hooks maybe 3 boards more than the SINISTER, again with a smoother motion. It may not be quite 3 boards different as my SINISTER cover was not as rough as the IQ TOUR NANO, but I definitely think it’s a little stronger — and it absolutely is a smoother motion.

Did I say how much I like powerful balls with smooth, controllable motion?

If you’re a young pup with high ball speed, or you just want to see the ball make a big motion on the back, you will want the CRUX over the IQ TOUR NANO. But if you’re at all like me and prefer your power to come with some control, I’d recommend the IQ TOUR NANO.

The CRUX is a good ball to have in your arsenal as it makes a move the IQ TOUR NANO can’t match, but I think the IQ TOUR NANO will get more use.

I can almost guarantee you I will be drilling a low pin IQ TOUR NANO before the 2015 USBC Open Championships.

controllable, smooth and a great midlane read

Amazing ball for almost every shot, house, challenge, sport.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best reactive resin ball ever made!

Storms best make no doubt about it, thinking of getting it? Just do it!!!

Strong mid-lane reaction, smooth and consistent back-end finishing power

Medium to heavy oil

Great baseline ball

Four 300's, two 800's ... Storm's best kept secret. They would have sold twice as many of these if it had a flashier looking coverstock.

Flawless Surface

Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments

IQ Tour is best bowling ball ever made!

Probably the best ball ever made. I have gone through 4 of these since it came out. I use it in local leagues, regional tournaments and state and national events. It's performance is predictable, and always my go to ball. I recently shot 866 (300,266, 300) in a league and never changed balls and got great length and consistent carry all night. Every bowler should have one in their bag.

Flawless Surface, Great Weight

Flaws In Surface

Storm IQ tour

I like shopping at bowling.com iv been a great customer for years

Control And Power

First ball out of the bag

Replaces Exhausted IQ Tour

Great ball. Strong down lane with control. Easy to use during transitions. First ball and often the only ball used during a league session.

Local Bowling Alley

the ball rolls nice

Attractive, Flawless Surface, Great Weight

300 in recent tournament!!!

I use this ball from league to tournaments. For me it is a great ball for the drier house shots and shorter tournament patterns as I have mine polished. Has plenty of energy to get around the corner from deep inside angles and doesn't over react off the misses outside. My son wants one now after watching it perform in last tourney.

Attractive, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Great Weight

Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade

Excellent move!

Wanted a ball that is a bit more aggressive and also work in heavier oil. I have had to stand a few more boards left of my usual place but the ball works well from there. I really like it.

Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Great Weight

great piece

What can I say,this ball is a benchmark that is very predictable and hits like a tank.The ball motion of this ball is phenomenal, very strong without that skid/snap reaction.Storm always produces great bowling balls and the IQ Tour is just another in a long line of solid Storm products over the years.

Attractive, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Very controllable

I used this in league the first day I bought it and went 300. For a ball with surface it is super strong on the back until it gets oil in it then it seems to calm down.Dont plan on using this ball on fried conditions. On fresh you would kill with this ball . You dont have to work as hard...just get it off your hand. Great price!! Nice ball as a first out of bag piece.

Excellent Benchmark Ball, Reads Lanes Reliably

Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments, Upgrade

Amazing Ball!!!!

This ball really performs. It has a tremendous "feel" and has increased my confidence. I feel like the pocket has opened up for me by 20%. This ball has really excelled (for me) on medium to heavy oil conditions. I don't know if it is the core, coverstock or the combination of the two that gives it such a consistent feel. It hits like a freight train, the pins stay low, and they just keep falling. My strike / game ratio has increased from 5.2 to 6.8. This has resulted in me averaging 221 (I carry a 196 average) over the last 2 weeks. I am left handed and often have the left side to myself. This ball does not seem to eat up or push as much oil as my other balls and I have not had to make as many adjustments as I normally do. This was an excellent upgrade that I feel is giving me the confidence to take my game to the next level.

Great Scent, Smooth Reaction

Storm IQ Tour Review by Daniel Mareina

The Storm IQ Tour Edition is the C³™ Centripetal Control Core, with the R2S solid coverstock. This ball gives an unparelled smooth reaction, with the hitting power of most Premier Line balls. I drilled the IQ Tour with a 4 3/4" pin, 5 1/2" MB, and a 4 1/4" pin buffer. This is a lower flaring, smoother layout for me. The orginal coverstock comes at a 4000 grit finish. I used the ball for around ten games with this finish. I found that the ball read the lane really early, but didn't overreact. It resembled the reaction of strong urethane balls of the 80s, but still has power through the pins that the current Storm bowling balls are known for. This ball will be perfect for medium to heavy oil conditions. Due to it's very early read, and extended continuation throughout the whole lane, it should make adjustments really easy to make. I was able to see what part of the lane was drying out, and adjust accordingly much easier than with other bowling balls. Because my house shot is light oil, I polished the coverstock with a heavy coat of Storm Step 3 polish. This stopped all of the early read on the lane, and allowed the ball to clear the heads, and only have a light mid-lane read. By not using any of it's energy early on the lane, it multiplied the downlane power. I was able to move 10 boards to the right, and play almost straight up the boards. The ball still made a smooth reaction, albeit much later on the lane, and drives through the pin deck harder than any ball I have thrown to date. Amazing that a solid coverstock could be shined up, and still work as well as sanded. I flat out love this ball!

IQ Tour 60 x 4 x 75 Pin Down Let me first by saying "WOW" about throwing the IQ Tour. The IQ Tour uses the fast-revving symmetrical C3-Centripetal Control Core with a low differential of .029 in 15 pounders. The Tour uses the R2S solid coverstock (4,000 Abralon box finish). The IQ Tour should be nickname "midlane". The Tour is a ball that is hard to throw through the breakpoint. This is a ball that just reads the lane the correct way. Leaving the ball at box finish, I bowled on the Kegel Turnpike pattern and had great control of the pocket. This pattern doesn't have a lot hold and swing, so it was hard pattern to consistently hit the pocket. But with the IQ Tour strong midlane I was able to create a little miss room and score very well on this pattern. For league I applied Storm Step 2 Compound as our local houses are on the dry side. This gave me some added length but still gave me great control of the breakpoint. I could play up the lane or I could circle the lane with the IQ Tour. If you remember the Special Agent, the IQ Tour is very close. Even with the low differential I was amazed with the good hitting power and carry that it delivered. This is a ball that every tournament bowler should have in his or her arsenal. Great product from Storm! PAP 4 up 1-1/4

Very predictable motion

Tournaments

IQ Tour Review By Tony Reynaud

Lane Conditions: Many Typical Conditions: Variety of Shots: House, Stockholm,Dick Webber Type of Lane: All Synthetic Weight of bowling ball: 15 Surface of bowling ball: Factory/Box What grit was the surface of the ball? 4000 Likes: Very predictable motion going down the lane Dislikes: Other bowlers can use it also! My layout: 65 x 4 1/4" x 35 My PAP: 4 3/4" over 1 5/8 up The IQ Tour is an incredible bowling ball. I have used this ball on a variety of conditions, low scoring as well as high scoring. The IQ Tour gets through the front with ease, then reads the mid lane, and then continues through the back in a motion that is very smooth and predictable, yet very powerful. This is a combination that really fits my bowling style well. I feel it is very important for any serious bowler to have a ball in their ball with a very predictable motion like the IQ Tour. It is a lot easier to read lane conditions as well as the transition when you ball isn't doing tricks as it goes down the lane. I think bowlers tend to make more quality shots when they are lined up. The IQ Tour adds up to more consistency and higher scores. In closing I had a lot of tournament success with the IQ Tour on a variety of different shots. The ball reacted great in tournaments on a house pattern, modified house pattern, Dick Webber, as well as Stockholm. The angle I played was out as far as 2-3 and as deep as 17. The ball performed equally great on all these conditions at a variety of angles. The IQ Tour is the first ball out of my bag in every tournament!

Attractive, Flawless Surface

strong mid lane ball, smooth backend

dull strong midlane smooth backend 3000 grit w/polish more length still strong midlane and backend improvement

IQ Tour Edition

Lane Conditions: Medium-Heavy Oil Typical Conditions: Variety of Shots Type of Lane: All Synthetic Weight of bowling ball: 15 Surface of bowling ball: Factory/Box What grit was the surface of the ball? 4000 Likes: Midlane read and strong change of direction off the spot. Dislikes: None so far. My layout: 65 x 4 1/8" x 30 My PAP: 5 7/8" over 1/8" The IQ Tour edition combines the C3-Centripetal Control Core with the R2S cover finished with 4000 abralon. I have used this ball primarily on a 40' heavy oil house shot so far, aside from a couple of games this past weekend when I needed something to step down from the IQ to in order to clear the front of the lane a little better but still handle the volume of oil in the midlane. This ball handled both just fine. What I saw this ball do on the house shot prior to shooting a demo video was insane. The ball literally struck from everywhere on the lane. One shot that I completely threw out the window recovered and struck. This ball will without a doubt help most bowlers open up the pocket. Storm says "Since we built the IQ Tour Edition to be the foundation of your arsenal, you can be confident in the fact that this ball will be consistent across a variety of lane conditions." I see no evidence to contradict this statement. I see the IQ and IQ Tour being a great 1-2 combination in anyone's bag. The IQ Tour when a sharper reaction is needed off the spot and the IQ when you need an earlier read and smoother backend reaction. Storm Bowling Products enjoyed much success on the PBA tour this past season and that doesn't seem to be changing with Rhino Page winning in the South Region on June 17th with the IQ Tour Edition. http://www.stormbowling.com/news/2012/06/3740 For more information on the IQ Tour Edition, visit the following page: http://www.stormbowling.com/products/balls/iqtouredition

will the weight of the ball change the performance of the ball, say from 15 to a 14lbs

Hello! Yes, the weight does affect the performance. Lower weight generally means you will get less pin carry. However, choosing a weight that's comfortable for you is very important to make sure you will be able to control the ball and that you will avoid injury.

can i return the ball and get a 15 lb ball, if i dont open the box

Hello! Here is a link to our exchange policy: https://www.bowling.com/service/returns/#exchange

Is the iq tour and iq 30: a very similar ball

Hi. The Storm IQ is a solid coverstock and the Storm IQ 30 is a pearl coverstock. So they are gong to react differently.

RG is the abbreviation for Radius of Gyration. This is specifically to determine the overall effect that the weight block can have on the performance of the ball. The lower RG numbers are then the more the mass is toward the center of the ball and the higher the RG numbers are the more the mass is toward the cover of the ball. Low RG revs up quicker and High RG revs up later.

Is the IQ close to the virtual gravity

Hello! The Storm Virtual Gravity will be a more aggressive ball than the Storm IQ.

Does the 12lb is tour edition work as well as 13 lb

The 12lb ball will have a modified weight block which will increase the RG slightly, giving the ball a little more length compared to the 13lb.

I was curious if the iq tour works well for low rev players. I mainly bowl on old wood lanes. I guess I'm worried about traction on fresh oil

Yes, this would be a good ball for that.

I roll the ball about 14.5. Pin down be good choice , I like arch

Hello! You can request for this information under the weight selection tab in the blue box that says "click to request pin or top weight".

Does 13 pound have same core as 14 pound?

The 13lb ball will have a generic core.

what is pin/top weight when ordering a ball

Pin Placement can be Out or In. A drilling term that is relative to a bowler's track designed purposely for creating more ball dynamics. A Pin-in ball (when the pin is located within two inches of the Center of Gravity) is excellent choice for control and less hook; a Pin-out ball usually can be made to hook more and flip more dramatically than pin-in balls; they often give the driller more options. And the Top Weight is for drilling of a ball so that there is more weight above the label than there is below; it is considered a positive weight.

Is this ball like the rotogrip idol?

The IQ Tour will be more aggressive than the Roto Grip Idol, for it will have a 4000 grit finish whereas the Idol only has a 2000 grit finish.

Would this IQ ball help my Bowlind avg bowler

The Storm IQ Tour would be a great upper-mid performance ball for medium-heavy oil lanes!

If I am bowling on heavy oil lanes should I take the shine off the ball so that it will hook more.

Yes, if you wanted to dull the cover down to a lower grit finish that will help the ball grip more to work in heavier oil. It will also make the ball ready a little earlier on the lanes so you may have to adjust for ball starting to hook earlier.

Is this ball good for short patterns?

This ball would not be ideal for shorter patterns. The ball is rated for medium to heavy oil conditions and the 4000 grit finish would possibly grip a little too early on short patterns. You may prefer to go with a ball that has a pearl coverstock and/or polished finish out of the box to help get down the lane better on shorter oil.

How does this ball compare to the Storm IQ Nano Pearl?

They are very close in comparison. While the IQ Nano Pearl has a Pearl coverstock which gives it more length, it also has a duller finish than the IQ Tour so it evens the reaction back out some. But I would still say that the IQ Tour reads a little earlier and smoother on the lane than the IQ Nano Pearl which goes just slightly longer.

Is this still available. I have scene it on here forever. Been wanting one ,but I figure it’s discontinued…?

We do still have this ball in stock and available in most weights.

I have the Nova, DV8 collision and The DV8 DG Verge. Would this ball fit in there? Or would a ball a little stronger like the phaze 2 be better?

This ball is going to be very similar to the DV8 DG Verge. It has similar strength but the IQ Tour will have a little more length than the Verge to give it a little more backend hook. Since this fits so closely to the Verge you may prefer the Phaze II which is stronger than the Verge but not quite as strong as the Nova or Collision.

Would this ball be a good step down from the phaze 2

Hi Mike, the Storm IQ Tour would react later on the lanes and have less hook potential than the Storm Phaze II.

Will any of the IQ's work with a 13mph bowler?

There are a lot of factors to still consider which may make one IQ a better fit than another. Lane conditions and rev rate would also help to determine which IQ would be best for you.

Will this ball be good for someone who throws 13mph

This ball can be used by just about any bowler. If you are a rev dominant player then this ball may work better in heavier oil. If you are a speed dominant player then this would work better for you in medium conditions. If your rev rate matches your speed pretty well then this ball should work as advertised for medium to heavy conditions.

Can you explain why there is different iq tour solid colors.Some of them have a brighter blue

There are a few different factors that could cause one to look a little brighter than another. First, there are going to be just varying degrees of the color when Storm is pouring and mixing the color and making the ball. They should be pretty close however so I could not say that is a big factor. Another factor could be the finish of the ball. Out of the box the ball comes with a 4000 grit finish. If anyone adds polish to the ball it could make the ball look a different shade of blue than if someone sanded the ball to a duller finish so there could be differences depending on the surface. In that same situation a ball that has been used for a while will tend to get darker over time due to the lane oil build up in the cover so that could also make some look darker than others. Lastly, Storm has found that some bowling balls will have phasing where the color looks lighter if the ball is maybe not used for a while or if the ball changes temperature maybe from being in your air conditioned house to a car or from your car to the air conditioned lanes. Sometime this can effect the color of the ball. I hope this helps explain how there may be different colors for the same ball.

Storm IQ Tour Nano Pearl Bowling Ball Features :

The IQ Tour Nano Pearl is the next pairing of the C3 Centripetal Control Core with a proven coverstock from the Storm library. The NRG Pearl cover was used previously on the Virtual Gravity Nano Pearl, while this symmetrical core was used most recently in the  IQ Tour Emerald . The IQ Tour Nano Pearl comes out of the box sanded at 3000 Abralon, allowing it to start up strongly in the midlane. The pairing of the smoother coverstock and lower flaring core design offers a tremendous combination of control and power.

We’re just like you. We’ve never been more excited about the game’s latest equipment. We can’t wait to toss every core, cover, and finish to create something unique to its own. The !Q Tour Nano Pearl is one of those balls that made it through our rigorous scrutiny that’ll be a game-changer for you. We know it. We tried it. We’re just like you.

Workable and forgiving, the C3 Centripetal Control Core is a design that revs up quickly, providing a smoother change of direction downlane. This shape is beneficial for players requiring control at the breakpoint. Used only in the !Q Tour series of balls, this core is precisely designed and manufactured using proprietary technology.

With the cover that was first introduced on the Virtual Gravity Nano, NRG nanotechnology is essentially manufacturing with atoms. It gives bowlers increased oil traction due to the micro-dynamic enhancements of the surface.

Here to talk a little about my IQ tour nano Pearl,what can I say another great release and great step up for the original iq tour.First thoughts when I threw this bowling ball for the first time was wow very close to the original one but a little earlier motion and control ball reaction down lane.i did hit the ball with fresh 2000 pad just cause I found ball was little skidy at times with the original 3000 ab finish.You can tell with the nano cover it helps a lot ,for sure a ball in my bag every where I go great for patterns that are fresh and great ball to control backend reaction.I really like the colour choice for this ball black pear,but looks little more grey in pics,still I thing a ball every bowler could use in there bag.

Layout: 30 x 4 1/8 x 45 The Storm IQ Tour Nano Pearl is a very versatile ball that has a unique ball motion within the Storm line. It has a ton of midlane roll that is very continuous downlane, and harkens back to the particle pearl type bowling balls of the past. I used a stronger layout on this ball than I normally do, which helped to make this a ball that is better used on fresh medium-medium heavy oil patterns for me personally, in the box finish. It has enough push through the fronts to still be good on medium oil, but I find that it has too much midlane traction to be used on lighter conditions. Bowling balls such as the Electrify line or the Trend are great companion pieces to this IQ - Mike LeViner.

Posted by dvd-nl on Dec 2nd 2020

The IQ Tour Nano Pearl is a great compliment to the IQ line. This version gets down lane a little easier with more backend than the original IQ Tour, making it, for me, more suitable for house shots than the IQ Tour. When comparing the two, I am normally about 3 boards with my feet left with the IQ TNP compared to the IQ Tour. The Pearl cover stock does its job on getting the ball down the lane and a little more responsive at the breakpoint while to 3000 finish makes sure it still reads the mid-lane just right. In my bag, it fits perfectly after the RG Wildstreak and before I go to a polished pearl. PAP - 4-3/8 Right & 3/8 Up RMP - around 300 Speed - 14-15 mph

Posted by sappman069 on Nov 30th 2020

What can I say other than it's the great qualities that the IQ series gives you. The Nano Pearl isn't as far down lane as the Emerald but still gives incredible length. Drilled mine 4×3x2 and hit it with 1000 abralon so o could blend out the lane in the middle of the tournament blocks when the bigger balls are too early. IQ Nano Pearl is a great addition to any tournament bag or even a great ball to just use on your typical house shot.

Storm IQ Tour Nano Pearl Cover: Nano Pearl Reactive Core: C3 Centripetal Control Core Layout: 60 x 5.5 x 70 I find the IQ series of balls to be pretty strong. I like this longer pin down layout on the IQ series to kind of calm them down a bit. The shape is pretty familiar to IQ Tours I have drilled but the Nano Pearl is a bit earlier and smoother out of the box. You just can't go wrong with the IQ line of balls if you are looking for a ball to cover a variety of patterns. They look good with lane shine, surface, and polish depending on your style of play.

Posted by stormroto on Nov 26th 2020

The new ball in one the best lines in the marker today is the Storm IQ Tour Nano Pearl. Storm took a very successful core in the Centripetal Core and put Nano Peal Reactive coverstock on it. Even with the lower diff core of .029 with the nano pearl cover the IQ can handle more oil up front. I have drilled a couple for my shop customers. I added a little Storm Step 2 and the results were impressive. It gave him a little more hold and smooth backend reaction. The carry with the IQ Nano Pearl is amazing. Definitely stronger than the Original IQ solid and Emerald. IQ Tour Nano Pearl great benchmark ball for anyone's arsenal. If your looking for control and consistency this is the ball for you!

The !Q Tour Nano Pearl takes some familiar words from the Storm lexicon and makes them into a new release that looks great and rolls even better. It feels unmistakably like an !Q with the same control and predictability that we've come to expect... but somehow provides a bit more traction in oil PLUS more downlane motion when compared to an !Q Tour Solid. If your Phaze II or Axiom feels close but you need something to not flare as much but still punch downlane, the !QTNP is going to fit in VERY well as a middle-of-the-bag type of option. Get yours today!

Posted by mancstorm2 on Nov 22nd 2020

A similar reaction for me to the original solid. The newer stronger cover allows me to use it on tighter conditions while still getting the unbelievable reaction of the solid. It's great out of the box. It gets better with a little oil in the cover.

Storm IQ Tour Nano Pearl 3000 Nano™ Pearl Reactive Weight Block C3™ Centripetal Control Core The Tour Nano Pearl is the newest addition to the IQ nameplate, adding to the combo of the Tour Solid and Emerald. The Nano Pearl plays stronger than the Solid. I get a few more boards of overall strength from the Nano Pearl. It is nice to see a stronger option with the versatility of the IQ ball motion. Now I can open up a new angle with an IQ, getting more left knowing it will get down lane enough and still be strong enough to make it back. This is great for me playing on a heavier house shot my league uses. If you like the Emerald and would like a nice step up in strength, polish up a Tour Nano Pearl and you are set.

Posted by TBenner300 on Nov 15th 2020

For the latest IQ release, Storm combines the highly successful Centripetal Core with the Nano Pearl coverstock. The Nano cover on this IQ makes this ball a better option for me on the tighter lane conditions than the original IQ Tour. The overall ball motion is very similar to the original IQ Tour, however this version digs in a little sooner and has a stronger backend ball motion than the original. For me, the Nano pearl version does not lane shine as quick as the original. Just as the original IQ, this ball is a must have for the tournament bowler facing those tough oil patterns where you just need a ball that will keep you around the pocket. It is also a must have for the league bowler looking to blend out the typical wet/dry house shot.

Had a chance to get back on the lane's and try the latest addition to the IQ line. Very smooth and a great fit between the IQ Solid and Emerald. With my loft the box surface really helps me when the Emerald pushes too long for me. I would recommend this ball for league or tournament and it'll be one of the first balls out of my bag!

StoRoGlo2020

Posted by StoRoGlo2020 on Nov 4th 2020

The August addition to Storm's Master Line was the !Q Tour Nano Pearl. The !Q Tour Nano Pearl uses the Centripetal Control Core and is surrounded by the Nano Pearl Reactive Cover Stock. The combination produces powerful control throughout the lane. I was surprised by how early the Nano Pearl wanted to start to hook but did not stop hooking very continuous and controllable. The motion was very similar to the !Q Tour but stronger and more aggressive at the break point. The layout that I used was pin over the ring finger with cg kicked slightly out or 5 X 5 X 2.5 or 65 X 5 X 45 which is based off my axis point of 5 5/8 over and ¾ up. The !Q Tour Nano Pearl is a very versatile bowling ball and will handle most medium oil patterns. It does not have that drastic boomerang backend motion but the backend is consistent and powerful. The reason I went with this layout was to be able to play closer to the dry and play the oil line. I under estimated how aggressive the !Q Tour Nano Pearl was in the mid lane and this was not going to work. It was not all bad because my ball speed is a touch slower and slow hooking became a very good option. The !Q Tour Nano Pearl allowed me to open up the lane with moderate launch angles and had no issues or over under. The !Q Tour Nano Pearl is a great compliment to the already stellar Master Line by Storm.

Ball Specs: Storm IQ Tour Nano Pearl Nano Pearl Reactive 3000 Grit Sanded C3 Core Layout 55 x 4-3/8 x 40 Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5" Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: This is probably my favorite IQ ball. The Nano covers always read the lane very well for me. I liked the Match up Black Pearl with its sanded finish and this IQ Tour Nano Pearl Sanded to 3000 is an upgrade. The IQ line seems to have a predicable motion and control at the break point. Even though The IQ Nano Pearl is not hockey stick angular it has a nice back end motion and hit. We have drilled many of these now and it works well for all styles of play. The ball also polishes nicely giving it more length while maintaining control. The polish also brings out the underlying good looks of the color. I have used this ball on multiple patterns over 4 houses and it was easy to line up no matter the differences in the shot. I would consider the IQ Tour Nano Pearl to be a strong benchmark ball. This ball will be a nice addition to any arsenal. The IQ Nano Pearl fits between my All Road and Axiom in total boards and hook. The motion also seems to split the difference of those also. So far I am really enjoying this ball! Summary: The IQ Tour Nano Pearl rolls great on many conditions. The Sanded Pearl finish makes it a unique ball. The control and carry is top notch.

I am so glad I decided to get this ball as it is absolutely amazing. This ball is a great addition to the IQ line up. This ball is very smooth and has a punch on the back ends. The IQ Nano Pearl will definitely be a ball I take to league and tournaments with me. I am able to move my feet left as the night goes on and this ball still has that punch on the back end. With where I live we do not have much play on the lanes during league at the moment as we are only allowed 4 to a pair. I have not come across too much transition during league but there is some dependent upon where the others are playing the lanes compared to me. This ball lately has been the first ball out of my bag on league night. It gives me just what I am looking for at the start of the night. For the first three nights of league I have been using this ball for the first 2 ½ to 3 games. Then once there is a little bit of transition I can move my feet left or might have to change balls depending upon where others are playing the lanes. I have been having wrist issues and just did a fit change. I do not feel like my rev rate is where is what with adjusting to my fit, but regardless of my rev rate this ball still give me that punch on the bank end. I have been bowling in a sport shot league on Sunday afternoon. We are two weeks in and have been bowling on the 2011 US Women's Open pattern. This ball has been the first ball out of my bag during that league as well. It gives me just what I need those first couple of games before maybe having to make a ball change. I have not bowling in any tournaments yet this season but I cannot wait to see what this ball gives me in tournaments at other houses. Sabrina Groves Storm Amateur Staff

I drilled my !Q TOUR NANO PEARL (ITNP) with a slight variation of my normal go to layout of 55 x 4.5 x 30. I hit the box surface with a 2000 abr pad and have smoothed it back up to 4000. I also drilled a 2nd one to play with a "short pin" layout with specs of 90 x 2.25 x 45. I have left this one at box finish to see what the buzz about short pins are. The ITNP is a great extension of the !Q series. The !Q line is typically marketed as control pieces with versatility available in the covers, tunability with surface adjustments, and lower powered cores that preserve energy at the pins. The ITNP fits right into those statements as Storm keeps hitting home runs with there recent releases. I put my ITNP up against my IQ TOUR SOLID and IQ TOUR EMERALD. As expected the IQ SOLID was just a bit earlier than the ITNP and EMERALD. If I hit the ITNP with 2000, it was right on par with the SOLID and maybe just a bit more on the back than the SOLID. I went back to 4000 on the ITNP to give it some separation from the SOLID !Q. The EMERALD was a perfect step down from both of these balls as it got thru the burn spot effortlessly and still had a similar shape. The ITNP "short pin" has a place all of it's own and will be a niche ball for me. I used it on a 37' pattern on a surface that has friction near the edge. This "short pin" was smaller hook but still good hitting power. I will give the "short pin" ITNP a try to control the early hook of short patterns until the lanes carry down some and I need to open my target. Perfect time to break out the other ITNP and work it until the EMERALD is eventually in play! Put this one if you liked the !Q series and don't be afraid to try the short pin layout once in awhile for smaller hook/control on tougher patterns where keeping it in front of you is a good play until the lanes develop.

Spec: C3 Centripetal Control Core: Nano Pearl Reactive cover stock : RG 2.54 and diff .034 (14lb.) 3000 grit factory finish. Layout I used: 30 x 3 1/2 x 35 Findings: The !Q Tour Nano Pearl did not disappoint me at all, having legendary C3 core and having the Nano Pearl cover added to it was a match made in "Strike Heaven". The core allows it to rev up quickly, but the cover allows it to go a little bit longer download but without producing the normal pearl "hockey stick" reaction on the back end of the lane. Very usable on wood lanes. synthetic lanes like SPL and HPL. Used the ball on all three types of lanes and 3 various house patterns and found the !Q Tour Nano Pearl to be the best all around ball for the conditions in all three centers. Benchmark ball for all levels of bowlers.

How can you not love an IQ?! The IQ Nano Pearl (IQNP) filled a gap in my bag perfectly. I drilled mine 4.5x5x4 which put the pin under my ring finger. I love slower response symmetrical balls, but sometimes it's hard to find the right ball to switch to when the front of the lane starts to hook too much but you still need a slower shape. Well, THAT is where the IQNP is perfect! The Nano pearl cover really does a great job getting length but still has that grippy texture, so you get length, but the ball still slows down. I think the IQNP should be in every tournament bowler's bag. This ball is special!

Posted by dstewart16 on Oct 22nd 2020

Introducing the IQ Tour Nano Pearl! The IQ Tour Nano Pearl features the Nano Pearl reactive cover stock wrapped around the Centripetal Control Core. This ball is very versatile and, has a smooth motion. This will allow all different style players to throw this ball and, have success. I fell in love with this ball the very first time I threw it and, shot 805 (247-279-279) my first 3 games out of the box. This ball compared to my IQ Tour Solid is much smoother and, more controllable with a more continuous motion down lane. The IQ Tour Nano Pearl to me is another benchmark ball that Storm created that can be used on multiple oil patterns successfully

When you put IQ on the ball the expectations are normally high. This ball stacks up as the strongest of the 3 and gives bowlers a little extra that the og iq tour doesn't have. The nano technology makes this ball 5-7 boards more then the original tour and can make it a game 1 ball! Go to your local pro shop for this bad boy.

Posted by chadhauser on Oct 7th 2020

When you say IQ, everyone is going to pay attention. One of the best balls in the business and been around for a long time. As most people have a IQ TOUR or more than one, now you have a great compliment. The Nano cover gives this ball a but more punch still maintaining the consistency. The IQ Tour Nano Pearl has mutiple traits of smoothness, arcing and now with the added punch at the end. There is no quit in this ball. It felt as if I could find the pocket from anywhere on the lane. I have drilled mine 50 x 4 1/4" x 45 which gives it a medium flare and great arcing motion. Storm has had some great benchmark balls and must have balls for tournaments and travel, and this is another one to add to the list. This ball allows you to keep your lines tighter if needed or open up the lane and have no quit. Regardless how you drill this ball you will like it. Awesome ball which will stay around for a long time. Order yours now, you wont be disappointed!

Length:42 Volume: High Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc):THS Rev Rate: 450 Ball Speed: 17 mph PAP: 5 1/16 x 3/4 up Introducing the IQ Tour Nano Pearl, the newest release in the Master line. The IQ Tour Nano Pearl uses proven C3 Centripetal Control Core and is wrapped with the NANO Pearl cover. The layout that I went with was 4 x 5 x 1.5, this layout puts the pin up and out a good amount and places the cg right under my ring finger. I was surprised at how smooth and controlled of a motion I got from the IQ Nano Pearl. The IQ Tour Solid is by my favorite bowling balls and the Nano Pearl has quickly joined its ranks. This is a great addition to an already staler lineup! Earon Vollmar Roto Grip Amateur Staff

The next great !Q Tour bowling ball! If you enjoyed any of the past !Qs then you will really enjoy this one.. Mine is drilled 4 1/2 inches away from my PAP. The pin is right above the bridge. For me, this ball fits perfectly right in between the OG !Q Tour and the !Q Tour Emerald. If the OG !Q Tour starts to burn up a little bit, or just isnt turning the corner, then throw the new !Q Tour Nano Pearl! It will get down the lane more, and turn the corner when you need it to. It's not super flippy on the backend, it's nice and controllable, but it still has that much needed power. Also, for me, if the Emerald is too flippy on the backend, then I can go to the !Q Tour Nano Pearl. It will be a tad sooner than the Emerald, and a little less flippy. I would highly recommend checking out this ball. It's very versatile, and you will be able to throw it on multiple different patterns!

Introducing the Iq Tour Nano Pearl bowling ball, the newest addition in the Master Line! This ball is a very smooth motion that a lot of styles will be able to throw because of it being such a versatile piece! The Iq Tour Nano Pearl features the Nano Pearl Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Centripetal Control Core! My Iq Tour Nano Pearl is drilled pin over my bridge which is about 4 1/2 inches over from my PAP! I am personally in love with this ball simply because the Iq line is so good and Storm came out with this piece which is actually smoother than an Iq Tour which is impressive! I can definitely see players be able to throw this on multiple patterns for a smooth controllable shape! Get yours on 8/7/20 at your local Storm VIP Pro Shop!

Hey everyone, this is storm staff member Josh Shoemaker here with another ball review for the IQ tour nano pearl. As always, I would like to thank storm for providing the equipment I use every time I step out onto the lanes and logo infusion for making sure I always look good no matter what! Today I will be bowling on a pretty standard medium volume 44' house shot. The IQ tour nano pearl featured the proven C3 centripetal core found in all the previous IQ tour balls, but is now wrapped in a pearlized nano cover. Although this ball does have pearlized additives in the cover, is it far from your typical quick response ball. Many people have asked me what I compare it to and I have told them imagine you're back in 2012 and just drilled your first IQ Tour. The nano additives in this version increase the overall traction and slow down the response time of standard R2S solid providing a very similar reaction to 2012 on today's heavier oils. This produces an extremely user friendly, super controlled benchmark reaction that any league or tournament bowler will love. When compared to the IQ tour emerald, the IQ tour nano pearl is a zone earlier and much slower to respond to friction downlane. The IQ tour nano pearl is now available for purchase at any storm VIP pro shop today! Review Video: https://youtu.be/zqYbY-xna_Y

Posted by JoeZibrin on Aug 28th 2020

Drillings 70x5.5x40 and 55x5.5x55 rev rate 450 ball speed 17 PAP 3 ¾ right 1 up So I love the IQ series and I decided I needed a pin up and pin down option. Using the same layouts I used on tour solid and iq tour emerald for the new Nano tour pearl is a beast! In the pin down I see just as much midlane roll with about 3 boards more hook downlane out of the nano tour pearl than the tour solid with the same drilling and for the pin up I see about 4-5 more boards overall hook and much better midlane out of the nano tour pearl than the emerald pearl. Now against each other the pin down is just the berries starting its motion about 3 or so feet sooner than the pin up but overall the difference is mostly in the mids. Both layouts are strong through the pins and handle medium oil very well, I keep my nano tour pearls at 3k instead of the box finish!
