Getting through the heads
hitting power on broken down shots

Dislikes
When on fresh shot ball tends to slid to far and hit like a pumpkin.

I was thinking about the Tropical Storm also. How is that ball? Does it carry well? Thanks

tropical storms aren't made like the desert heat. the tropical storm is nothing compared to the desert heat. the desert heat kills on light...

The Desert has a core, while most other "dry" lanes balls are just a pancake core and thus why they hit weak sometimes. The Desert for the money is tough to beat!

FWIW, the Tropical Storm has the least "pancake" core of the entry level balls.  Unless you start factoring the Vibes from Hammer I suppose.  Hmm...

The Desert heat is plain and simple the best dry lane ball I have ever used.

The Tropical Storm does have a core in it (not a pancake). If I could get a Track Heat for less than $70 that would be great, because drilling is $40. I haven't seen a Heat on ebay.

When I was talking about other dry lane balls, I did not name a certain ball as I was not talking about a specific ball, thus why I said MOST and didn't even name a brand.

Pin, sometimes you get what you pay for. If you knwo what I mean
