!Q Tour Pearl 2018 Remake
« on: April 21, 2018, 07:47:19 PM »
Over here in Oz I have been informed by my distributor that storm are bringing back the !Q Tour Pearl as a limited edition.

Has anybody else heard heard the same? As I haven’t heard from anyone overseas saying the same thing yet.


Looking forward to having the nugget back in the bag, I’ve missed it!

This would be the 3rd version of the ball in 5 years. Dumb if you ask me.

stop discontinuing it if the numbers are good. Why remake it 3 times if they drop?

I thought that was the SONIQ.

At any rate; On one hand I think it’s a bad idea and would rather see the Centripedal 3 core wrapped in R2X like on the Marvel Pearl, yet on the other hand I will be trolled and covered in gasoline for saying such a thing so I’ll go with the remake.
Son!Q is much more front to back. Requires more oil and not as flippy (even though it has a good response to friction).

 1st iteration was a gimmicky, quirky gold ball. I think it sold mostly because of the color, and was dq’d pretty quick because the demand wasn’t that high yet.

 2nd iteration was a 30th anniversary special edition, just to celebrate a short time event, and once that event was over, the ball was dq’d again, because demand was underestimated.

 3rd iteration was another special edition to celebrate the PBA’s 60th anniversary, which was only done as a small run, pro-am only ball. They started selling online for $300-$500 dollars.

 Maybe Storm took notice of that?


 The demand for a good, lower flaring, pearl with a good cover and a Storm label on it could be more than people think. I know about 5 guys who are waiting for this with great anticipation.

This is where I chime in and say the HB is the best gold ball since the gold Quake.

Son!Q core has waaaaay different numbers, specifically the differential. The two don't act similar in my opinion.

Luke - Can we expect a 2 month report card on the Son!Q or has it been given away?

the Gold ball stayed in service for over a year. It lasted a good while for today's market. But they could have kept it rolling like the solid if they wanted too. Now, they are playing the consumer and making money doing so. As the ball shouldn't cost more than a Hustle, but consumers will pay double because... well... it smells...
