The Tropical Breeze is a great dry lane ball. The Breeze with the pearl reactor cover and low differential of .009 allows this ball to get down the lane with the greatest of ease.
But still has plenty of hitting power on the backend. But the good thing is the Breeze doesn't overreact to the dry back-ends.
The Breeze is great choice to bowl on wood lanes and or when the heads are hooking and you are having a hard time to get the ball to push down lane.
I've have used the Breeze on 3rd games in our one center when the volume of oil is on the low side. It allows me to stay further right and near the track which
helps my carry greatly. When the natural or natural pearls start hooking too early drill up a Breeze ! The heavy handed players will be able to grip it an rip it
with great control of the lane pattern. A great dry lane ball from Storm.
