Crux prime or Phase 2
« 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

If you wouldn't mind the money loss of selling the Crux Prime if it doesn't by chance match up and ordering a Phaze 2, I would say try out the Crux Prime.

As they always say ‘ Follow your first mind’.  Phaze 2 all the way, safe choice.

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.

Ordered the Phase 2.   Had great luck with it from various angles on medium and short sport patterns.

I feel like the Phaze 2 is a ball that can't really be beat. Good decision on picking up another.

Now that I have 10-15 games on my Phaze II I really really do like, and it compliments my IQ Tour well (same layout and cover prep). 

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

I said years ago the Phaze II was one of the best balls Storm has ever made, glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves.
