Stateside - Chad has been teasing about it, so that's my guess.

So i would be assuming a SPEC Hybrid or Pearl then.

R3S Hybrid would be interesting

If not stateside it’s Korean. And it’s GI-20 pearl at 3000.

Ok, I’m interested in this one for a change. I really wanted the Astrophysix, but not with RS2 Pearl. Really hoping this new high end pearl does the job.

The Omega Crux looks pretty interesting. Found some more info as well as a review from Bowler's Rant over here - https://www.bowlersmart.com/2020/01/20/video-review-of-the-storm-omega-crux-bowling-ball/

Compared to the Crux Prime, this ball is supposed to have a sharper entry angle and more hook downlane. Sign me up!

GI 20?! I'm still in shock from GI 18 on the sure lock. This has my name on it.

To be fair basically any cover short of urethane or a urethane mix on that core would result in sharper entry angle and more hook down-lane than the Prime. SPEC doesn't do that.

It will be interesting to see how the Omega compares to the original Crux Pearl. That had the ERG Pearl coverstock on it. Different finish out of the box though.

Anyone else think the Astro Physix or Phaze 3 colors would have been better choice for this ball to go with the Alpha Crux?

I personally am one who would like a series of a core to have similar colors

Come to think of it didn't the original Crux Pearl have similar colors? That was the only Crux I never got a chance to throw. I loved the erg on the byte though.

Close "Black/White/Copper" More orange to the copper and less brown, and a lighter black/grey look.

Wasn't there other GI covers beyond the Sure Lock?  Maybe the Drive? Like a GI-15?

In the US, only the Lock with GI-15 hybrid and Sure Lock with GI-17 solid

Drive was r2s nano hybrid. There have been some overseas balls with other GI covers

Alpha Crux was GI-16.
