PICTURES AND/OR VIDEOSIt’s rare that I can love a ball this much after only a few games out of the box. I put a 5x4.5x4 (pin under) layout on the Omega Crux hoping to create a rounder, more controlled shape. The Catalyst core tends to produce a stronger and rounder shape. Wrapped with the new GI-20 cover, you get a strong asymmetrical pearl that digs in just a little sooner to create that strong arcing backend that hits like it was shot out of a cannon.
In my 2nd game out of the box I shot 300 in a tournament on a 5:1, 41’ challenge pattern. My strong solid pieces just couldn’t hold energy through the pattern and my strongest pearl pieces were leaving me pinched and blowing through the break. Started a new shift on fresh oil and decided to put the Omega Crux to work. After striking 20 out of 24 frames, it started getting some attention.
This ball is for real. Very versatile. A day after throwing on that challenge pattern, I threw a practice session on my wood lanes and house pattern. I had no problems lining up and seeing that same smooth, strong and dependable motion.
