Title: Crux prime or Phase 2
Post by: avabob on March 18, 2019, 12:19:29 PM: Looking to replace a hole in my sport arsenal since I got rid of my Phase 2 last year. Was thinking about trying Crux Prime, but I didnt really like my alpha crux. Phase 2 was very unique for me. I could play mulitple angles including way out on short high volume patterns. I love my Hyroad Nano, but it is too angular coming off the end of the oil to play out. After Dark and Urethane won't handle flooded heads like you get with the Wolf.

Bottom line, I am leaning toward another Phase2 but the Crux Prime has me curious. Any suggestions

Pretty much what I posted earlier but deleted (didn't think knew enough either way). Saw the Crux prime for first time today when an older lady on the lanes next to mine struggled to keep it right of the head pin. If had to guess would say the Phaze 2 is probably going to be more controllable being symmetric and all but could be wrong. Still any ball willing to buy again must be pretty good.

I see what everyone is saying about the cover being high maintenance but it's all good.
