With three exciting colors and innovative fragrances, the new Tropical Breezes are sure to appeal to bowlers of all skill levels. They all feature a proven Reactor reactive coverstock material that glides easily through the heads yet reacts down-lane to provide optimum pin carry. The Camber Core's inverted light bulb shape has real substance. And as it provides more predictability and control than the Tropical Heat, it's the perfect complement to the Tropical line.

Comments about Storm Tropical Breeze Kona Blue/Silver:

I love this ball, for beginners at a fingertip great primary. For experts, amazing backup. It is my secondary, but if I need to it can be used as my primary. It is just a five board adjustment from my normal house conditions, and it will go pocket if you are consistent with your throw. For me it is also an amazing 6 pin, 9 pin, 3 pin, or 3 6 9, 6 9, 3 9, any right side shot (for a right handed bowler, excluding 10 pin.) Overall a great ball, the ball return will mark the cover stock but that can be washed off with name brand, certified ball cleaner/ or a wash in the sink.

The Tropical Breeze is a great dry lane ball. The Breeze with the pearl reactor cover and low differential of .009 allows this ball to get down the lane with the greatest of ease.
But still has plenty of hitting power on the backend. But the good thing is the Breeze doesn't overreact to the dry back-ends.
The Breeze is great choice to bowl on wood lanes and or when the heads are hooking and you are having a hard time to get the ball to push down lane.
I've have used the Breeze on 3rd games in our one center when the volume of oil is on the low side. It allows me to stay further right and near the track which
helps my carry greatly. When the natural or natural pearls start hooking too early drill up a Breeze ! The heavy handed players will be able to grip it an rip it
with great control of the lane pattern. A great dry lane ball from Storm

Comments about Storm Tropical Breeze Kona Blue/Silver:

Hello all and thanks for reading. Here is the link for Kona Breeze by Storm:[@] First of what a great clean rolling ball for yet another hit by Storm. This ball is very clean through the front part of the lane and maintains great even roll through the breakpoint. This ball does not over react even in shorter oil patterns and lower volumes. Great if you are looking to control a ball on a higher friction lane surface such as wood or a used HPL surface. In the video you can see I am much further toward the outside part of the lane trying to stay within the track area to allow the ball to roll evenly toward the pocket. Comparing the the Heat with the Hybrid coverstock you can plainly see how much further inside towards the heavier concentration of oil I am throwing with that ball than with the Kona Pearl. The Kona Pearl is a great choice for heavier rev players trying to control the lane and also for entry level players who's main focus needs to be accuracy and consistency while practicing. Great all around lower end lower volume oil ball that will surely be a hit for many games to come.

Comments about Storm Tropical Breeze Kona Blue/Silver:

Layout- Pin under ring, cg swung positive with a hole down by the thumb, medium width/depth.

I'm not sure how optimistic I would say I was about this ball when I first heard about it because I tend to have so many issues with weaker balls (especially the older weak Storm stuff) being too poppy off of the spot, but I was pleasantly surprised with this ball. It was angular yes, but it didn't jerk once it made its move. It was angular but relatively smooth at the breakpoint. This ball is a far more useable piece than I had imagined and is a great compliment to my Roto Grip Rising Star- if the Rising Star gets a little to flat on the back to carry the 10, I switch to the Breeze (and likely move a couple boards right) and out the 10 goes. It looks pretty cool too and smells just like Old Spice deodorant….. Yum? Well my wife doesn't complain I guess…
