This is one of my new favorite balls. It has a good balance of length with a little mid lane read for me and has plenty of energy left at the pins. Would love to see more of this coverstock

I love it! To break out of the box and shoot a 700 series in its first 3 games and didn't have to adjust much. I see an 800 series in the future. Smooth down the lane and I can roll it hard in the pocket. Great job Storm!

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.

The !Q TOUR NANO PEARL is easily one of the best bowling balls Storm has come out with! Very clean through the fronts and then BOOM! Huge back end! I left mine at box finish. Second set off the drill press I shot 256-300-300 for my highest set ever of 856! Highly recommend getting this ball. It has worked on every house pattern and tournament pattern I have bowled on so far.

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.

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!
