    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.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    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.
