Tropical Storm
« on: November 26, 2007, 02:34:12 PM »
i just picked up a tropical storm not even 2 hours ago and going out right now to test it out. im very excited since this ball has sedimental value to me, but im curious on what i should expect? i have the pin just above my fingers in the middle. what should i expect from this?

I don't have one but I have been really thinking about getting one too. As I need something for when the lanes start to dry out...btw, they say its a dry/light oil lane ball but not a reaaaaaal dry lane ball as you would need a plastic for that

I have one, Ball goes SO long, Ball can be played from anywhere left of center...

Have thrown it on game 6 on the cheetah, and I have thrown it on game 10 with a 39  ft.  pattern...

I have a long pap and above the bridge equates to about 5 1/2 inches away ball

Ball skates forever and just gives a little flip off the end, the biggest determiner for back end reaction wood lets me play more outside, synthetic tighter, but they always get to the pocket,

The only complaint I have is the small flip makes it tough to play deep angles, its almost alway straight up the boards thus I leave more 10 pins then I thought humanly possible

alright so i just got back from the alley and man... the tropical storm was... not what i expected. the house i was at was known for medium to dry conditions. that ball did what rabbit said and only had a small flip towards the VERY end.  im talking end as in, in the pin deck area. in order for me to hit pocket and somewhat carry, i had to play standing on 5 board throwing at around 8-10. my widow was hooking very nice though. so i see a big difference in these balls which  is what i wanted. must be great on dry conditions, or when the lanes totally break down.
