Storm crux pearl vs hyper cell skid
« on: March 10, 2015, 03:51:22 PM »
Hi guys new to the forum, I am extremely curious in the new hyper cell skid and crux pearl. I have a few questions though. I'm wondering as to which one is a better ball overall in your opinions. Also which ball is stronger and more aggressive? I am just wondering the differences to be able to pick the best option for myself. I had the original crux but wasn't a fan at all (too strong), and I've never experienced a ball with the nucleus core.

Depends on lane condition...

The Crux Pearl can handle more oil...Yet goes long and turns hard...

On lighter patterns...The Hyper Cell Skid may work better for you...

I see about 2-4 boards more with the Crux Pearl over the Optimus...And I see
about 2- boards more with the Optimus over the Hyper Cell skid...

And then it's time for the IQ's...lol

I'm confused on what I'm voting on as I don't know your game or the conditions you bowl on. 

Add a 3rd option of "correct ball for the conditions" and I'd go w/that.  I'm with jls in that the Crux Pearl is the stronger of the two, but "better" ?  They each serve their purpose.

I was mainly just asking for anyone who has thrown both and to see if anyone can give an opinion on which is better overall. I ended up getting a skid and I absolutely love it. I've heard from a lot of other sources the hyper cell skid is stronger. The core has stronger numbers than the catalyst of the crux. I've seen some crux pearls out now and in a crankers hands it was devastating but for a tweener it didn't impress me. I'm a cranker throwing on league which is a 42ft modified kegel bourbon street pattern that they use at our alley.
