The Sapphire features the legendary C³™ Centripetal Control Core and is covered with the proven R2S™ Pearl Reactive coverstock. The Sapphire glides through the front of the lane easily, then makes a smooth predictable move downlane. Power Edge™ is over and it pushes more than the original !Q Tour, but also maintains the controllable motion that has made this series a favorite of tournament players and league bowlers alike. The !Q Tour Sapphire is a lovely Sapphire colored scent that smells like Blueberry for consistent performance and stylish looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorm says the !\"The Q Tour Sapphire is an extended, cleaner version of the benchmark !Q Tour. The low RG C3 Centripetal Control Core revs up easily, and the medium differential provides a smooth, controlled amount of flare. The R2S Pearl Reactive coverstock with Power Edge finish clears the front of the lane with ease, stores energy efficiently and has a stronger move off friction than the original solid !Q Tour. It’s a great transition ball or benchmark pearl for bowlers looking for length without losing predictability, as it dominates on medium oil after the heads start to break down. Here are the full specs for the 15 lb benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegendary Centripetal Control Core C3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the heart of the !Storm’s Q Tour Sapphire is their flagship C³ Centripetal Control Core, one of the most successful symmetrical cores ever made. The core has a 2.49 RG and a 0.029 differential (15lb) and allows for easy revving with controlled flare. The ball will read the lane and not be overly aggressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe moderate flare potential makes the Sapphire perfect for bowlers who value accuracy, versatility and confidence on changing lane conditions and keeps the reaction smooth and repeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverstock: Tested R2S Pearl Reactive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is encased in Storm’s favorite R2S Pearl Reactive coverstock, a formula that has been relied upon in many of Storm’s most popular releases. The cover, in combination with the Power Edge factory finish, easily releases off the front of the lane and creates good continuation on the backend when it sees friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sapphire is longer and cleaner through the heads than the original !Q Tour Solid yet still retains the smooth, benchmark style motion that the !Q range is synonymous with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOil Medium \u0026amp; Transition Great\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reaction chart highlights the !Q Tour Sapphire, medium oil, medium-low flare, smooth to moderately angular back-end motion and excellent performance as the lanes transition.

The cleaner R2S Pearl cover has more energy and the well-known C³ core ensures a smooth, predictable and repeatable motion. With benchmark control and modern pearl performance, it’s one of the strongest transition balls in the Storm lineup.
