Probably summer release as all the companies put out their dry lane stuff for summer leagues, now that I think about it.
The Future of Bowling: Bowling is a once-popular tavern game played with a heavy ball and ten pins.

April announcement after Ripcord Flight.  Out in May as next release.  Between the Covert Tank and Tank Blitz.  As, I bowl in one house that is light oil with poor lane maintenance less head oil with Kegel Icon poor length wise taper I will be considering the Desert Tank.

Looked like EJ was using it at the WSOB. Thought it was the Jackal till I saw the Tank logo. The gold looks good

I get more excited for the new dry options than anything else these days. Lots of good options for oil across the board... it's a lot trickier for the burn. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.

DESERT TANKDESCRIPTION•The pearl Desert Tankâ„¢ is yet another incredible ball featuring new Microcell Polymer technology, which provides the motion of urethane with the continuation of reactive resin.  •Featuring a pearl version of the Friction+ Microcell Polymer cover stock used on the Tank Blitz, the Desert Tankâ„¢ maneuvers powerfully in lighter oil volumes.  And to help provide an even smoother motion than the Covert Tankâ„¢,the low differential Fluxâ„¢ core design has been deployed to tame track flare.•The cover, core, and the 2000 Grit LSS finish all come together on the Desert Tankâ„¢ to provide a weapon that is dialed in for a controllable motion on high friction lane conditions.Speed-dominant bowlers will really appreciate theperformance attributesof this release

CORE: Fluxâ„¢

I just hope it doesn't hit like a Covert Tank. For me at least my covert tank gave me an amazing motion but hit like a feather
