I need something in between my GP2 and Triple X.

lol......You will get a Tsunami answer in this Lane 1 forum and an Arsenal Reactive answer if you post in the Track Forum. Both are good balls. I've heard nothing but positive about both balls.

Haha thats the problem I can't pick. Ok lets try this...
Why should I pick the Tsunami over the Reactive?
-
prettier colours? lol!
I don't know much about Lane1 products, but because the Tsunami is highly polished, that would mean it'll handle lesser oil than the Arsenal Reactive, and it'll have more backend than the Arsenal Reactive.
I guess it depends on your needs and wants. The Arsenal Reactive would be closer to the GP2 in terms of reaction and oil handling capabilities, and the Tsunami would be closer to the Triple X in terns of reaction and oil handle capabilities. Whichever ball you choose, you can always play with the surface to get a desired reaction!

The Triple X being a pretty strong ball for a resin pearl is likely to overlap with the Tsunami H2O a little too much, unless you haze or slightly rough up the surface. The Arsenal Reactive being very strong for a resin half-solid/half pearl (on the order of the Absolute Inferno) is likely to fit, in box condition between the GP2 and the Triple X better. It'll handle more oil thna the Triple X, but less than the GP2. It'll go longer than the GP2 but grab the lanes earlier than the Triple X.

I disagree with the fact that the tsunami has more backend. I own an arsenal reactive and it's polished with magic shine it has one of the biggest backends of any ball I have ever seen. I seen the Tsunami in league and it does have a big backend but not anymore the the reactive.
I feel the tsunami is more versatile than the AR because the AR is so strong that it can only be used on med and up. The Tsunami from what BTM says can handle light oil as well as heavy but works best on med.
