The new Incross coverstock contains a navy blue solid reactive material and a forest green reactive pearl that allows the New Breed Crossover to get down the lane easily, while still having enough traction to handle medium to heavy house patterns and carry down well. Designed to replace the recently discontinued New Breed Solid, this ball will have a similar ball motion, and cover the same type of lane conditions. Factory finished to 2000 Abralon, the Incross cover is very durable and takes to surface adjustments extremely easily.
The New Breed line is equipped with a slightly asymmetrical, dense center core design with a cap and a lighter wrap. This allows for a quick revving ball that begins to roll in the later part of the midlane while the pronounced cap provides more flip and a sharper break than the Gladiators. The “wedge” on the side of the core creates a mild mass bias for fine tuning the balls reaction.

Serpentine Core |
The New Breeds utilize the Serpentine core (an elongated core with a pronounced cap and a side wedge) in combination with several different coverstocks. This line of balls will get through the front clean but offer a stronger and sharper break than the Gladiator line. Designed to handle virtually all house conditions. The New Breed Crossover will cut through the oil, while the pearl provides more length with a sharper break, and the particle pearl will blend out wet/dry lane conditions. With similar but improved characteristics – anyone who likes the Gryphon line should love the New Breeds

Miscellaneous Information
The Crossover is my Bench-mark/Go to ball. I’ll start with it on most lane conditions. I like the way it rolls up at the break-point. It makes a strong move towards the pocket. It has good continuation through the pins. This ball does not roll out and it keeps the pins low.
League - Bowl four games on fresh oil, 43' THS. Four man teams. To compare it to other balls I use, I’d say it is the easiest to get a good read of the lanes.
The Crossover is the first ball out of my bag.I would recommend the Crossover to my friends. But, not to someone that I have to bowl against in league.
