Core Technology\n\nAbout the IQ Tour A.I.\n\nThe Storm IQ Tour A.I. takes everything you love about the original IQ Tour and elevates it with A.I. Core Technology. It keeps the legendary control and versatility that made the IQ Tour a staple in arsenals worldwide, then pushes performance to the next level with an enhanced core and a hybrid cover, the benchmark, reimagined.\n\nThe IQ Tour A.I. pairs the symmetric C3 A.I. Core with Storm's proven R2S Hybrid Reactive coverstock at a Power Edge polish. The A.I. Core optimizes energy transfer at impact to expand the strike window and turn near-misses into pin carry, while the hybrid cover delivers clean length with a strong, dependable backend on medium oil.\n\nUnderstanding the Storm C3 A.I. Core and Storm R2S Hybrid Reactive\n\nStorm built the IQ Tour A.I. to be a smarter benchmark. Specifically, the symmetric C3 A.I. Core revs up just as effortlessly as the original but now delivers a more efficient release of stored energy, expanding the strike window for more consistent, more powerful pin action, while the R2S Hybrid cover at a Power Edge polish gives clean length and a strong backend. As a result, it keeps the trusted IQ Tour motion with a next-level advantage. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.\n\nThe Benchmark C3 Core, Enhanced for Energy Transfer and Pin Carry\n\nAt the heart of the IQ Tour A.I. is the symmetric C3 A.I. Core, the proven C3 Centripetal design enhanced with A.I. Core Technology. At 15 lb it measures RG 2.48 and a .031 differential, numbers that produce a smooth, controllable, workable motion. The core revs up just as effortlessly as before, but the A.I. enhancement optimizes energy transfer at impact, expanding the strike window for more powerful, more consistent pin action.\n\nThat upgraded core is exclusive to the IQ Tour A.I., and it keeps everything that made the C3 a benchmark, workability, forgiveness, and control at the breakpoint, while turning near-misses into carry. As a symmetric core, it reads the lane predictably and repeats the same shape shot after shot, the trusted IQ Tour motion with a next-level advantage.\n\nA Proven Hybrid Cover for Clean Length and a Strong Backend\n\nThe IQ Tour A.I. wraps that core in Storm's proven R2S Hybrid Reactive coverstock at a Power Edge polish. A hybrid cover blends the early traction of a solid with the cleaner length of a pearl, and the polished surface adds length on top of that, so the IQ Tour A.I. gets through the front of the lane cleanly and still reads the mid-lane honestly.\n\nWhen it reaches the friction, the R2S Hybrid makes a strong, controllable move to the pocket, the dependable benchmark shape with a touch more length than the solid IQ Tour. Leave it polished for clean length on medium oil, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier, stronger read when the volume increases.\n\nIQ Tour A.I. Specs\n\nRG and differential vary by weight. Specifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Ball Is Right For\n\n✓Tournament Players: A modern benchmark with the trusted IQ Tour read plus an expanded strike window for more carry\n\n✓League Bowlers: Clean length and a strong, dependable backend on medium oil, an easy one-ball or benchmark piece\n\n✓Strokers and Tweeners: The workable C3 A.I. core rewards control players who want a forgiving, repeatable read\n\n✓Arsenal Builders: The next-generation reference piece, the smarter benchmark your Storm bag is built around\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Ships polished: The Power Edge (Polished) finish runs clean and long out of the box. For an earlier read on heavier oil, take the surface down at your pro shop.\n\n·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.\n\n·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.\n\n·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Where the IQ Tour A.I. Fits in Your Storm Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nIn the Storm lineup, the IQ Tour A.I. is the modern benchmark for medium oil. It reads the lane with the trusted IQ Tour control but clears the fronts a little cleaner thanks to the hybrid cover, so it slots in just above the solid IQ Tour for a touch more length and below your strongest traction pieces. As a one-ball setup or the heart of an arsenal, it is the reference shape the rest of your bag plays off of.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe Power Edge polish gives the IQ Tour A.I. clean length. Take the surface down with a lower-grit pad for an earlier, stronger read on more oil, or re-polish to restore length. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nWipe the R2S Hybrid cover with an approved reactive ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. Keeping the cover fresh preserves the clean length and dependable backend that make the IQ Tour A.I. a modern benchmark.\n\nEarn points on every Storm purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program.
