I agree and found the same this past week using the Code X in two leagues, I think one use a 39 foot house shot other is either 40 or 42 foot house shot. In both leagues I used the Code X until the middle of the 3rd game until I had to switch to the Code Black. The Code X works well, with some adjustments to where you line up, in heavy oil and even in medium oil as well.
I agree it is stronger than the Alpha Crux, and has excellent continuation through the pins. If you hit pocket you will strike, even at lower ball speed. I even had some Brooklyn strikes too.
The Code X quite good. Right now my most used balls are the Code X, Code Red, and Code Black.
