This is Motiv's newest Microcell polymer ball. It features the strongest cover of the three microcell polymer Tanks, but with a smaller core that allows this ball to get further down lane than the Blitz, and shape more like a traditional urethane ball than the Covert Tank. The desert tank is best suited for shorter patterns when urethane is in play, but what is unique about this ball is the fact you can move in and shape it without the loss in carry you'll see from traditional urethane.
I have personally found this ball to be quite versatile on house patterns. I can play up the track area at the beginning of the night and migrate inside without carry issues once the transition starts happening. The cover + core combination on the Desert Tank allows to play a variety of shots without issue.
If you are looking for a traditional urethane motion with more versatility, the Desert Tank will suit your needs. It fills a gap in my arsenal to where I don't have to use traditional urethane, and can still strike with ease.
