yea i have no idea its boggling my mind right now haha

ok let me make a guess:

Premier: Heavy Oil Balls
Master: Marvel Series
Thunder: For balls which are more darker colors
Hot: For balls which are brighter colors
Tropical: Tropical Series
Ice: Polyester + Urethane

if i'm not wrong, it's sort of like the ball performance chart of Brunswick balls (pro performance, high performance, etc)..

so i think
Premier=Pro Performance (mainly heavy oil balls)
Master=High Performance (Medium-medium heavy)
Thunder=Affordable Performance (Medium)
Hot=Affordable Performance (Dry-Medium)
Tropical=Entry Level Performance (Dry)
Ice=Polyester (Spare balls)

Martin hit it pretty good, it's like Rotogrip with it's Royal, Crown, Sword and Shield Lines. It's a way to separate the high pro. balls from lower performance ones.

Tropical balls are for dry lanes? O.O

Entry level balls do for the most part tend to lean toward lower cost and for lower volume conditions (remember now dry doesn't mean no oil), and The tropical line is the storm entry level ball line.

What tends to confuse even more people is how varied "entry level" balls can be so varied. Storm's Tropical series carried a perfect scale rating in the 118 area while others are as high as 182 for the same price. again, it's more important to match the ball to your style and the conditions you want to use it on. There are plenty of "good" bowlers who don't even use the high performance balls at all because they don't match up well with them.

i'm trying to practice to get as more rev as possible.. because I think my rev rate is too low now.. hee.. but.. i'll try.. slowly.. been bowling for roughly 2mths with my own ball..

if i remember right. each line uses the same core, but they change other things like coverstock/polish and stuff. everything premier uses the shape lock core, hot uses the N.O.S. core ect
