It's either the C3 or the gasmask for the most famous cores. As for my favorite... iQ all the way! The Goldie is my old staple and I'm super excited for the ruby!
The Centripetal Symmetric Core is used across all 12lb and 13lb balls, I use the 12lb balls and get my pro shop operator to create different layouts for the different balls I have. My Symmetrics are FATE, Phaze II, Zen Soul, and Zen U.
My favorite ball of all time is the IQ Tour Fusion. God I loved that ball. Been out of bowling for several years but wanting to get back in maybe 2 handed this time.
Bowled with mine for the first time today. Thought I was coming in on a burnt lane where it theoretically should succeed but idk I could not get this thing to come back at all even after many speed adjustments. I'm gonna say the lane conditions weren't ideal. Phaze II ended up being the perfect ball for the conditions I played on today. I do love the IQ Tour Ruby. It's aesthetically appealing, smells great, I'm confident in the core - just hoping I can get some use out of it in upcoming tournaments. Hoping I didn't put too weak of a layout on it though.
Count me as a C3 fan. Every IQ I've ever had has been excellent. First 700 was with the tried and true solid. I haven't tried that many other offerings comparatively, especially from other brands, so I couldn't say it's the best without blind bias, but I'm certainly not going to argue with anybody else that says it is
Could you make the assumption that the hyroad pearl and the Iq pearl are too similar? What would be better to do, drill down the Iq for less flare or change the surface for different shape?
Hi - I have a question. I’m in a Junior bowling league. The ball weight is 14 lbs and I throw it at about 14 mph. The bowling lanes are light to medium with the amount of oil used.Currently I use the Storm Tropical Surge. My question is if I should change to the Storm IQ Ruby, and if not, what would you recommend that I use? Many thanks
Is the Ruby and the Emerald a case of the color pigment separating the two balls? Is color really a consistent cover stock characteristic we can build into a tech sheet?
You're not Barks! Best core? Who knows I'm a huge fan of the Gas Mask Core. I am not a Storm fan since the early 2000's when the only two I ever bought cracked not long after I got them. But this IQ Tour Ruby looks sharp. Good work Jungo! Where's Barks? :)
I have this ball (iq ruby) and can look amazing sometimes but man is it overall way too jumpy and sensitive to friction. Makes it very hard to control sometimes but looks beautiful when the lanes are just right for it. Overall not very versatile. (2 hander)
I demo'd all three balls last week and had a very different reaction. For me, the Fate was EASILY the sharpest downlane and it wasn't even close. The Revenant was the weakest and smoothest. The IQ Ruby was in the middle and surprised me. I was expecting more of a dart like the Emerald, but the Ruby was much stronger than the Emerald. As always, your results may (and did) vary.
thats why i hate the iq tour.. its too neich. You cant really use it on fresh because of the low diff and how far down late it gets, yet its a smooth enough to where its mediocre on burn. never found a use for it
I can answer that. Because that would take the shot outside of the ideal shot line. You want your break point to be near where the oil lightens/ends to give you the most forgiveness. Plus, with the aggressiveness of these balls, you would need to add speed to get them to hold a line right of target. These bowlers are really aiming at their breakpoints down lane but in their minds they're trying to hit targets at the arrows. It's easier to comprehend and much easier to see. Watch Norm Duke. He's targeting 45 feet down the lane.
How does the Ruby compare to the Hustle Wine? The Wine is my house shot ball currently, but the Ruby looks like it has the same shape down lane. Is that right or not? Thanks.
@@brettrobbins2707 It honestly looks like the same reaction, but I think the Ruby may be a little stronger than the Wine. I almost bought a Ruby, but if it’s close to the Wine, I’m okay for now. The Wine has been improving my game ever since I got it. Love that ball.
I have been buying only Storm balls for over twenty years. But I hate the way they smell. I keep new balls in the original plastic bag for at least 3 months so they don't stink up our house.

Completely enamored with Jungo's release. Video suggestion -- can you do a slomo video showing everyone's release?
I second this. His release seems powerful yet its sooooo smooth.
Quite possibly the best symmetric core of all time. The Gas Mask core by Hammer is the best assym.
Or is it the inverted fe core used in the hot rod/road balls and their spin offs?
I agree with this statement
The core in the Hy-Road is my favorite sym. Asym for me is the Radical Incognito core.
I feel the the VEBO is a little more angular than GAS MASK...VEBO is my choice best assym...
It's either the C3 or the gasmask for the most famous cores.

i like the view from 4:41! You guys should show it sometimes, it shows a cleaner shot of the ball path heading down lane!
The cell core and entire cell line has been my favorite, but recently the brunswick quantum have been up my alley
Great review, thank you. I'm surprised the cover and core on the IQ is stronger than what's going on with the Revenant.
I can see you have got Brunswick Crown pins out now. They still sound like Twister Pins for some reason. The Fate was looking nutty as always though.
I’ve got an iq tour nano purple and this looks a great option to sit up on top!
Big question….
!Q Emerald: r2s pearl 1500 grit polish
!Q 30 aniversary: r2s pearl 1500 grit polish
!Q Ruby: r2s pearl 1500 grit polish (reacta gloss)
Whats the difference???? Why Ruby hooks more ???? It’s because reacta gloss ????
The red pigment hooks more. Brighter pigments hook more, watch their gem review for a short explanation.

I've always like the Ikon core in the Idol series.

Where does the zen pearl fit on compared to these 3
Best core of all time????? Close. Also have to consider the Gas Mask, Resurgence, and Gamebreaker cores as well.
I think that the release of so many balls is ridiculous.
I bowl 220 average with my Hammer Bad Ass, Hy Road Pearl, Wreck em, even a Tropical Storm.

i really wish they put a stronger cover on the iq tour solid. Im a two hander and it really jumps off the spot at my home alley because of the cover.
Have you tried surface change? May get it to use a little energy before breakpoint?

I have a question, just ordered an IQ Tour Ruby in a 12. But I own a Phaze V in a 12. Are these balls going to react the same?
What weight bowling ball do your normally use to do a single hand hook?
I have been bowling since 1979, am 66, and weigh 155. I always use 16 pound balls because I don't like leaving 10 pins.
Would you put this 2 or 3 boards less than the IQ Nano?
Can I ask why you move left instead of moving your eyes right off of the first ball?
I can answer that. Because that would take the shot outside of the ideal shot line. You want your break point to be near where the oil lightens/ends to give you the most forgiveness.

A pin down Ruby would be perfect
Update: Got mine pin up 😂

Really close to the same ball, everyone is going crazy about the Ruby when I've been killing it with the wine for 2 years smh

Gas Mask is hard to beat
10 months later. I haven’t seen a single one in person.
Heard jungo pissed off a lot of people this past weekend at the mattingly lol
Man this is the best ball ever hands down! IT SMELLS LIKE TROPICAL PUNCH KOOL AID and paid for its self out the box! 😌
