Title: Which ball
Post by: thewhiz on October 02, 2014, 10:38:26 AM
Which ball would be better for drier lanes?  Cyclone or a tropical breeze.  I have an honor and when the lanes break down the honor is too much ball.  Don't like having to throw it 18 mph.

I use my cyclone for my main ball, as we have lighter oil THS and love it. I threw the Honor at a demo day and was way more ball than I need for THS, but will probably get one for tournaments.

Having both, I'd say the Cyclone is a full notch stronger in oil handling and in hook potential than the Tropical Breeze.

Cyclone is for medium-light to true medium oil. Cyclone has medium RG and strong, high differential. Its cover was for heavy oil when dull 5 - 8 years ago.
TB is for light to medium-light oil (almost). TB has almost no differential; it's all cover with a high RG.

Maybe look into a Roto Grip Scream or Shout.

Cyclone will be the best choice. Place the pin about 1" from your track above your middle finger with the CG in the palm.

new Blur line is an option
As Charlest stated above, the cyclone has a strong cover.
For me, the cyclone is not for lighter volumes, i have other balls for that
Hammer arson low flares
Columbia disruption

The Scream or Shout are awesome for the dry.  You may also want to look at the Motiv Tribal.  The Cyclone is more ball than advertised and is better for medium to medium-light.
