Our verdict

A urethane bowling ball for players who want a smooth, predictable reaction. The listing does not say whether it is drilled, and it gives no core or finish details.

ASIN: B0CLSBKM8NModel: IQ Tour 78/UCategory: Bowling Balls

Overview

Rolling an even, controllable reaction down the lane is the stated aim of this Storm ball. The cover uses a new urethane compound, a polyurethane material in crimson.

The new urethane is described as producing a reaction different from current urethane options. It is also PBA compliant. The limitation is how sparse the specs are, with no core, surface or drilling details.

Who it's for

Adult bowlers who want predictable motion over a hooking reaction on lanes that suit urethane. Players who need a drilled ball or published core specs should check with a pro shop first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Smooth predictable reaction
  • Unisex adult use
Cons
  • Drilling not described
  • Core details absent
  • Weight shown only in the title

Performance notes

A urethane cover grips the lane differently from other cover materials, which makes the reaction smooth and predictable instead of sharp. The description credits the new compound for a reaction unlike current urethane options. Ball weight and drilling decide how it fits a particular hand and release.
