Hey i've been a long time viewer of this forum without posting. Figured it was time to post a question. I am looking to build an arsenal around a Storm Hyroad. I am looking to go under first (girlfriend is buying me a ball for xmas

Anyway I throw about 15 mph and would consider myself a high end tweener. I've been having trouble with the house shot lately and figured a new ball was in order. I usually start around 20 to 25 playing out to 10 at the break point. So you can imagine 2 or 2 and a half the lanes r pretty dry. I was thinking a Tropical Heat Hybrid so I would still have a hybrid ball and then I could update the arsenal by getting a Prodigy when I get the money. But with all that I've heard about the Tropical Heat it really isn't a dry lane ball. Would it be something I could use after my Hyroad becomes a bit too much?

Thanks,
Kevin

I'd also consider a simple Trpoical Storm, drilled weak, because it has a high RG that pushes the ball well down the lane and saves energy - better than a Tropical Heat with its true core. The Reactor cover is pretty strong, though, the ball could be flippy and responsive to dry areas.

Another valid option is the Natural. Weak, smooth cover, but still with a core that gets the ball into a roll. Maybe use a label layout for an arcing motion and good mid lane read, and from there tune length and traction with surface changes.
