- Description: Storm is turning up the “HEAT” with the introduction of the new Tropical Heat series. This new line of bowling balls raises the standard in performance at a value price. The power behind the Tropical Heat is the highly successful Turbine core from previous Hot line balls like the Fast and Furious. This mid-RG and mid-differential core boasts a tighter spin radius for quick revving mid-lane and enhanced entry angle to the pocket. Reactor series coverstock adds the perfect complement to the Tropical Heat. This performance proven coverstock continues to be a staple in the Storm line by delivering the ideal blend of friction and power. Don’t be left out in the freezing cold – Turn up the Heat!

The Pearl Tropical Heat has a lil bit of both its parents.  The smooth motion through the front of the Fast, and the angularity of the Agent.  I drilled my Pearl Tropical Heat with a 5 inch pin under my ring finger, and it so reminds me of my Fast but with more pop in the back.  We have already sold about 5 cases of these balls in our shop, and they roll even better on house conditions.  This is a must have for all bowlers!!!

I have had a lot of success with the Storm Spit Fire and Street Rod Pearl, so I was very anxious to try this ball out considering it has the same cover as the Spit Fire and the same core as the Street Rod Pearl(also the same core that was in the Fast & Furious).

I used a 60x40 dual angle layout with a 4 ½ inch pin. My PAP is 5- ¾ over and 1/8 up. I am left handed.

This ball rolls great for me. It’s easy for me to get through the heads and down the lane, but I still have a smooth motion off of the break point with it. I have used this ball on a 40’ house pattern and a 38’ house pattern and it allowed me to play up the boards easily, but I was also able to move in a it would easily turn the corner as well with a simple change of hand position. I have also used this ball on the Viper pattern(37 ft) and the Chameleon Pattern(39 ft). On the Viper, It was a little more difficult for me to play direct, but I got a strong arc motion from the ball when I moved in and maintained end over end roll. On the Chameleon pattern, much like the house shots, it was a lot easier for me to play multiple angles.

This is a tough ball to beat at this price point and a must have for all bowlers!

this ball totally suprised me. i didnt think it would hook soo much. was looking for a ball to use on the drier conditions and this really wasnt it. for me this ball gets down the lane and then has a sharp angle to the pocket. totally suprised. still i love this ball!
