Only show reviews for Storm Tropical Heat Hybrid Black/Purple
Simply put, this ball is a fantastic house shot benchmark. This is not the first time we've seen the Turbine core nor the Reactor Hybrid cover. The other Tropical Heat Hybrid comes in the traditional Storm finish of 1500-grit polish. However, they decided to finish this one in 4000 grit abralon to play a bit more like the solid version which was discontinued.
What you get with this core is a good length, with a consistent breakpoint and strong motion on the backend. The motion tends to be concentrated towards the latter part of the overall ball reaction so it stores good energy for the pins. This ball and core works amazingly well on your typical house shots. I've had a Furious for years which is my benchmark on medium/medium light conditions. I have that ball finished at 4000 plus light polish. Since the Tropical Heat Hybrid actually plays more like a 2000 abralon when new, it likes medium or medium/heavy more. It will not have enough length for medium-light conditions. However, rest assured the cover can easily be adjusted.
The ball was tested on Kegel Main Street (41 ft) THS and 2012 USBC Championship pattern (39 ft). It worked very well on the THS and above average on the USBC pattern.
Really strong entry angle.
