The beloved name is back! Alpha Crux
Right Hand - 15.5 mph down lane, 335 +/-, PAP 4.75, 1/2 up, layout is 4x4x2. I have only used it on a house shot at Bowlero Edmond, OK. The new Storm Alpha Crux seems to live up to the hype and brings back one of the most beloved names in Storm's lineup. Designed for heavier oil conditions, the Alpha Crux combines the proven Catalyst A.I. Core with the new GI-26 Solid Reactive coverstock. It creates a strong, predictable motion that reads the mid-lane exceptionally well and continues hard through the pins. On the house shot, the Alpha Crux didn’t overreact off friction; instead, it created a smooth, powerful shape that works great on the fresh . I think the strong mid-lane will make it ideal for league bowlers and tournament players and I feel it will be a reliable ball to start a block or utilize on heavier volume patterns. Even on missed shots, the ball seemed to maintain energy and drive through the deck. I believe it is a great option for players who prefer a strong asymmetrical ball that doesn't quit down-lane. The ball also does well against lane shine. However, I feel this is a first ball out of the bag but could see it be too much ball for house shots that tend to player dry, especially for higher-rev or speed/rev matched bowlers. I do plan on adding Power Edge to the ball to see what motion it will create. I will reported back on that process soon. If you are looking for exceptional traction in heavy oil with strong predictable midline motion with great continuation, this is the ball for you! Although, I feel it is just under my ION Max, it will stay in the tournament bag. Mike Walker Anne Marie Duggan’s Pro Shop Edmond, OK
Customer Questions & Answers | Reviews
Question:
how strong is this gonna be compared to any other storm related balls?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Storm Alpha Crux is going to be your first ball out of the bag for heavy oil, fresh-lane. Compared to more versatile benchmark balls (like the symmetrical Bionic) or clean, angular balls meant for lane breakdown (like the Ion Max Pearl), the Alpha Crux is when you need absolute predictability and maximum hook potential on high-volume oil patterns.
Question:
I still have harsh reality and a hyperdrive as my strong piece. How would alpha crux fit in my bag (or will it fit at all)? Thank you.
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
You might not need the Alpha Crux because your current lineup already has heavy oil completely covered. Your 900Global Harsh Reality is your ultimate maximum-traction, solid asymmetrical ball—perfect for dominating fresh, heavy oil just like the Alpha Crux would. While your Roto Grip RST Hyperdrive is also a heavy-oil asymmetrical solid, but it's designed to give you a slightly cleaner look through the front of the lane and a sharper change of direction off the breakpoint.
