I don't know if I'm going to love saying this or hate it, but the reaction shape on the lane really reminds me of a T-Road Solid. And that ball was a humdinger baby!!(Dick Vitale voice) - I hope to see the same results on this piece. Good videos Tamer!

Thanks Kenny.  Once people start thinking about bowling season again, there will be lots of good talk about the IQ Tour.  The low differential really changes the ball reaction from the very rolly centripetal core.

Indeed, very unlike the branded "Storm" reaction of long and strong. I like the reaction shape indeed, it will definitely flourish on the tougher patterns. THS wise, it might not be the most "optimal" reaction that generally bowlers would like to see. But in my eyes, I think it rolls pretty beautifully, like the T-Road Solid once did!

Don't be surprised if people have lots of success with it on THS as well.  It's pretty drill friendly as far as I can tell.  In fact, our testers really liked the reaction on the THS.

What I meant by "generally bowlers" is the general population of bowlers that like "to see it hook" or make the ball move! Time and time again the "typical" league bowlers(in my general area) just want to see it go 40 feet and then dead turn left or right. Here, they aren't so wowed by something consistent and smooth and is actually a good piece for establishing an arsenal.

Agreed.  What I was suggesting is that if drilled in a certain way, it can generate a strong backend motion.  It won't be skid/flip, but good pro shop operators should hopefully be able to convince a few trusting souls to take the plunge :-)  They'll be rewarded for it.

Indeed. The avid storm/roto guys will buy it hands down and hopefully the reactions they put out there can show how good the piece truly is. -- To add, any comparisons you can give to the modern marvel?

The Modern Marvel is a bit more rolly.  It still has a good read and reasonable backend response.  It's also pretty versatile.  The IQ Tour was punchier than we thought it would be and probably just slightly more than the Modern Marvel.  The MM has a slightly stronger cover.  The IQ Tour will be a bit more usable on lower volume patterns.  IQ Tour will be more likely to be a benchmark if you generally bowl on medium or lighter conditions, which seems to be status quo these days.
