The new Tropical Breeze Black Cherry uses the same Camber core as the previous three Breezes. This latest offering surrounds the high RG, low flaring core with a hybrid version of the Reactor coverstock. This Breeze Black Cherry offers more length than the Breeze Solid and less than the Breeze Pearl.

The tamer ball reaction matched up nearly perfectly with our dry test pattern. All three testers had more than impressive reaction on this pattern....

Performance Ratings

Torque
(1-10)
6.5
The hybrid formulation of the Reactor coverstock is quite strong when it sees some dry boards. This one is more responsive to the friction than the Solid or Pearl Breeze.
Length
(1-25)
16
The 1500 grit polished box finish allows the Breeze Black Cherry to easily glide, even on drier conditions. Bowlers who need less length can remove the polish with Abralon pads.
Back End
(1-20)
15
The Breeze can make up some area in the back end of the lane. It is not a  ball to stand left and throw to the gutter. Squaring angles up through the front will allow for decent recovery down lane.
Total Hook
(1-100)
43
The total hook is low in comparison to other entry level balls and that makes it an excellent choice for bowlers in need of a dry lane ball. This ball offers as much hook as the Breeze Solid and more than the Pearl Breezes.

Strengths: Length, length, and more length. This might be one of the best balls on the market for the drier conditions. The hitting power is unbelievable for a ball with a core with minimal dynamics.

Weaknesses: Oil. Plain and simple, the Breeze does not like volumes of oil. Use it on broken down and shorter patterns.

Overall Summary: The Black Cheery Breeze completes a foursome of Tropical Breezes. This latest addition is the first using a hybrid coverstock.
