Surface - Polished with some magic shine.

Reaction
The reaction of this ball was a great surprise. I was thinking it would be the ball I play at 15 to like 8 and back and it would be nice and smooth. Yet when I played that shot it went so long and snaped so hard that it miss the pocket. I loved that I had to move more left. I had to play more of laydown on 22 send to 15 at the arrows and end up at 7 befor its move would start. Rating 10


Readabily
I could see it being able to a benchmark ball if you have the right surface to it. Yet I also know it has some over/under problems to it. So I would not recomend this ball as a benchmark ball. Rating 9.5


Versatility
I can see this being no stronger then a mid condition ball. I dont think it will be able to handel the heavy amounts of oil. Not at all. Rating 9

Hit
This balls hits great. Just like all track balls. This is probly the best lowend ball that gives the low hit on the pins that lets them mix around. Truely a great find. Rating 10

Overall comments
I love this ball. I dont get to use it much because I dont drop from my 5.0 to fast. Yet I can see me using alot more in tournaments and big league nights where I need the strength it gives on the lighter shots, right before I have to go to the sppEX or desert heat. Rating 10 and a additional 2 for my stupididy of not using it.


Overall rating
10 for reaction
9.5 for readability
9 for virsatility
10 for hit
12 for overall comments
Overall rating = 9.998

The Crunch Time is one of the best balls track has ever put out. I have had two. Both have had the label layout. If u can find one nowadays I suggest you pick one up, It is so choice.

I've had this ball for about 4 years now. It has a 3-4 pin stacked above the ring finger. It is my favorite ball of all time. The hit from this ball is unlike any other. I have had it resurfaced about 3 times in it's life and it still has a good look on the lanes. I roll with more current stuff now, but I thought I'd dig it out and roll with it tonight in leauge. I wish I could find like 10 of these things. I wouldn't have to buy another THS ball for another 20 years! If you can find one, get one, or let me know and I'll gladly pick it up. Super great ball!!!!
