Our Thursday trio bowls on a somewhat shorter and flatter house pattern, and at age 66 with arthritis symptoms in my joints my ball speed isn't what it used to be. I needed a ball that I can get down the lane to the breakpoint without a lot of muscle. My pro shop guy Ryan Wilson hooked me up with a Tropical Surge, which is exactly what I needed. Thanks Storm!

Wish this had been my first ball back in high school when I was first starting to learn

I am a stroker/tweener type player with slower ball speed and lower axis tilt. Dry lanes have always given me trouble, I needed a ball to handle drier lanes and burned up patterns. The Tropical Surge Carbon-Chrome Pearl fits the bill perfectly. With the high RG (2.58), low differential (.024) Surge core, I wanted to lay the ball out to flare as minimally as possible so that I can play further right and straighter on drier lane conditions. My layout was 120 x 3/4" x 75. So I basically mapped out the Tropical Surge Pearl with the no flare layout. This ball gets through the front super clean and doesn't overhook. I was very impressed and delighted with the ball reaction. This ball was going even straighter than my Pitch Purple!!! So if you want the perfect dry lane ball that is very clean through the front and doesn't overreact, the Tropical Surge is that ball!
