Its awfully hard to make that statement, i'm sure Storm did extensive testing to decide what they wanted to do with the Breeze and exhausted options to find a happy medium of what will give a mild reaction but still be enough to allow the ball to be an entry level piece that will sell. 

While many of us would love something really mild there isn't a huge market for that and the companies aren't going to get away from what sells.

Well, since the hot rod was a pretty good ball(I have two) core and cover matched good, going to a ball with less flare but the same decently strong cover like storm just did with the tropical breeze is a mistake.... That's why I said storm should of brought back the curelyon cover or accu-tread to put on the breeze. It would of blended the core and coverstock a lot better. But oh well...lolz!!

Bowling is fun, enjoy it, don't hate it

Then why did soo many people not like the original tropical storm? Storm did lots of testing with them too, but still, if we look at the balls today especially with the entry level and lower performance balls their covers and cores match up really well. Theses balls don't have too strong of core or cover and it shows in the reviews. 

 

We just have to do the best we can with the current stuff out there or hold onto older balls that still work well...lol!
