Tropical Breeze comparison

Thinking about the Tropical Breeze for dry lanes.  How would this ball compare with the Ebonite Cyclone?

Very comparable.  I believe the Cyclone is a little stronger.

The current Cyclones, mostly pearls, are much closer to the Ride & Joy Ride than to the Tropical Breeze.

My Tropical Breeze Hybrid is weaker than my original Cyclone (Black/Orange/Yellow) and and than my current Cyclone (Fireball, a pearl, I believe).

Thanks Charlest.  I don't run into much Storm equipment in the leagues I bowl in and I was not familiar with the Tropical Breeze until you mentioned it in another one of my posts. 

I am trying to find a ball that's a little stronger than the Blue Hammer and weaker than the Cyclone.  I noticed that the Breeze had been discontinued but I think I can get my local pro-shop to order one.   

Thanks again.

It's looks like the new Tropical Storms coming out at the end of April are pretty much the same as the Tropical Breeze. At least they have the same cores and coverstocks listed, so I wouldn't worry too much if for some reason you can't get a Tropical Breeze (although I can't imagine why your pro shop wouldn't be able to get one).
