Need to fill a hole. Sure Lock is (from what I've read and heard) a bit earlier and smoother than Code X in general. Which ball do you trust as your pin down solid pretending to be an Alpha Crux for a low-rev, down and in shot.

Code X is as close as an Alpha Crux you'll get right now.

I'm already bringing a pin up Idol and Phaze II. I've had good luck at Nats with having at least 1 pin-down solid in the bag, and I currently have none.

Thanks Bonez. I know there's a lot of (possibly deserved) hype surrounding the Code X now, but that Sure Lock's got a proven track record in my book. Sure Lock for the win, gonna punch the ticket.

I will have to add though, that between the Phaze II, Idol, my new Hyper Cell Fused, and the Sure Lock, I think I've got the best arsenal I've had for quite a few years. Now if only the bowler was better....

I've heard that the backends are on FIRE for team, so that could be why everyone is using very dull stuff.

Couldn't agree more with Sunstorm! Just got back yesterday, and it turned out the Sure Lock was hard to control. Much better response with my Marvel S (2k grit) with a big p3 followed by OG Hyroad (4k grit) on both team and d/s. The key point being "when I did what I was supposed to do."
