The pearl Desert Tank™ is yet another incredible ball featuring new Microcell Polymer technology, which provides the motion of urethane with the continuation of reactive resin. 

Featuring a pearl version of the Frixon+ Microcell Polymer cover stock used on the Tank Blitz, the Desert Tank™ maneuvers powerfully in lighter oil volumes.  And to help provide an even smoother motion than the Covert Tank™, the low differential Flux™ core design has been deployed to tame track flare.

The cover, core, and the 2000 Grit LSS finish all come together on the Desert Tank™ to provide a weapon that is dialed in for a controllable motion on high friction lane conditions.  Speed-dominant bowlers will really appreciate the performance attributes of this release.

    I chose to put a short pin layout in mine ( 1 ¾ )…and at first I thought I made a mistake. This ball with this new cover will surprise you on how quickly it can read the lanes…but once I made a small tweek to my release in order to weaken it up a bit…BINGO. I was able to play right up the lower volume oil line on our house shot ( where there is more friction ) and I went on to throw strike after strike without the worry of early read or over hook on the end of the pattern.
    If you like to throw straight or need something when the volume is low or burned up…this is the ball for you!!

    Desert Tank.

    The Desert Tank definitely rolls like traditional urethane. I really need to tighten up my angles and slow my roll considerably for this ball to be effective. When the lane gets tighter and I need to keep the ball in front of me and not go crazy sideways of off the friction down lane the Desert Tank is right choice. I would highly recommend this ball to anyone looking for a cleaner more consistent urethane motion. I have more area with the Tank Blitz and Covert Tank however those 2 balls create more back end reaction. The Desert Tank fills a gap in the micro cell aresenal.

    Desert Tank

    The Desert Tank is absolutely amazing. I drilled mine 50-5 ½-70. For me the Desert Tank bridges the gap between the Tank Blitz and Covert Tank. The Desert Tank is cleaner through the fronts than the Blitz but smoother downlane than the Covert Tank. This ball will be great on shorter patterns along with medium patterns when you want to need a controllable motion. This ball will definitely be in my bag at all times.
