SON!Q

Tracing its roots back to the Storm IQ series which has been a staple of the Master line, the Soniq brings a new ball motion to such a classic and iconic line with a higher differential Centripetal HD Core. This new core iteration brings more flare to the IQ line, sending shockwaves through your opponent's resolve. Storm brings back the classic R2S Pearl Reactive coverstock with a delightful Blue/Bronze/Gold coloration paired beautifully with the fragrance of Gingerbread S'mores. Don't let this comforting fragrance fool you, the 1500-grit polished cover allows this ball to skid easily through the heads to make its angular dash down-lane.

Centripetal™ HD Core: The Son!Q is the progeny of one of the most dominant shapes in the Storm lineage: the
Centripetal™ Core. Since its inception, the evolution of the design can be traced across the
Centripetal™ Low Flare Core, C3™ Centripetal Control Core, and now the Centripetal HD Core.
At first glance the Centripetal HD Core may look familiar, but deep down is where the magic truly
happens. It is the densest core of any Storm ball to date producing an RG value of 2.47. Storm’s tester for the project, Alex Hoskins, said “The Son!Q created a unique shape down the lane. The cover kept it
clean through the front, but the core kept it predictable off the end of the pattern.” The results yielded the
perfect blend of continuation and control from any angle he decided to play. When a ball makes impact and
doesn’t have a direction of motion that is in-line with the centers of gravity of the pins, some of the energy
that would have been available for the post-collision pin velocity will be lost to rotation and friction. Because
the Centripetal HD Core’s center of gravity is extremely low, it consistently impacts the pins at the perfect
spot every time maximizing carry.

R2S™ Pearl Reactive Coverstock: The engine is important, but we can’t forget about the part of the ball that’s in contact with the lane. R2S is
synonymous with the Storm name. Consistency breeds familiarity, and familiarity breeds confidence. You can
be confident that R2S Pearl will give you everything you’ve come to expect from it: easy glide with the most
consistent dry-lane friction of any coverstock ever. It’s been Storm’s benchmark shell for 10 years and counting.
