Iconic Benchmark: the !Q Series The !Q Tour series has earned its reputation as one of the most iconic benchmark lines in bowling. A benchmark ball is more than just the first ball out of the bag. It is the standard by which every reaction is measured, giving bowlers a clear read of the lane and the confidence to make the right adjustments as conditions evolve. For years, the !Q Tour has been that trusted reference point, delivering the smooth, reliable motion bowlers build their game around. |
R2S™ Pearl Reactive Coverstock The legendary R2S™ Pearl Reactive coverstock continues to prove why it remains one of Storm's most trusted formulas. Known for creating easy length through the front of the lane while generating dependable friction downlane, R2S delivers a clean, controlled motion that blends wet/dry conditions with ease. Finished with Power Edge™, the coverstock provides just the right amount of traction in the oil before producing the smooth, continuous backend shape that has defined the !Q Tour line for years. |
Ball Maintenance Over time, lane shine can alter your ball's original factory finish due to oil absorption, friction, and repeated use. To refresh your Power Edge finish, resurface with 500 and 1,000-grit pads and reapply Power Edge Polish as directed. Regular surface maintenance helps preserve the intended length, backend motion, and overall performance your ball was designed to deliver. |
