Tornado vs Tornado Warning
« on: January 11, 2007, 10:56:49 AM »
I see from the Ebonite website that the fundamental differences are that the Tornado has a puck and the Warnings do not. However the core numbers on their site are identical. I also note the covers have different names, so I figure their must be some difference here.

I am looking for balls for typical WTBA championship short patterns (in the 32-35ft range) which often have screaming backends. I already have a blue regency urethane (which I love, at 500 abralon) which is supposedly an original blue Gyro re-grind.

I just wanted some peoples opinions and experiences of these tornado balls. I guess not many people will have thrown them and defintely not many on non-THS shots but I'm willing to hear everything.

Thanks

Try Visionary Blue/Green Centaur, Storm Tropical Storm, AMF Orbit Extreme, or Dyno-Thane Crisis Solid. They have more dynamic cores, handle a good deal of dry very well and still hit hard.

Tornado is just too strong; Warning's pancake core sort of kills a ball, in general, in my opinion.

Closest, dryish lanes hitting Ebonite may be the original Ice, but it still hooks more than the balls mentioned above.

Thanks Charlest. I was thinking of getting something else pancake as the Gyro has served me quite well, but I've no idea whats inside it...
