Hybrid/Tropical
« on: October 10, 2005, 09:50:33 AM »
I currently have a Brunswick monster slayR and Target Zone.  How do the tropical and hybrid compare to the monster slayR?  The hybrid seems similar, maybe a little stronger because of the cover.  The tropical looks like it might be able to fit between the slayR and Target Zone based on the numbers.  I have fairly slow ball speed and could use something a little more angular to save energy when the heads dry up.

I was just wondering how storm stuff compares to what I currently have for dry conditions.  I have brunswick stuff for fresh patterns, but Big B rolls a little too early for me, especially on drier lanes.  I know that Storm equipment is generally skid snap, so I was hoping I could add one of those two balls to open up the lane more on broken down oil patterns.  The low rg core on my slayR makes it very predictable, but I have basically no margin for error, even on a house shot.  It works fairly well on sport patterns as long as it retains enough energy to kick out the 10 pin.  I can probably get by without another ball, but I haven't thrown any storm products and I was thinking about putting a fairly strong drill on a Hybrid to put it above my slayR or a weak drill on a tropical to put it below the slayR.  Can someone who has actually thrown these balls let me know if they are different enough to justify carrying more than one?
