Yes, that is correct!

The Storm Crux Prime will hook more than the PhysiX for it has a solid coverstock and is meant for only heavy oil. The Crux Prime will be more aggressive.

The Storm Sure Lock will have the same hook potential, lane conditions & coverstock as the Storm Crux Prime.

The Storm Alpha Crux will have the Same Hook Potential, Lane Conditions & Coverstock as the Storm Crux Prime.

There is nothing wrong with the ball. That is just the top weight that the ball came with.

They will be very similar.

The Jackal Ghost will have the Same Hook Potential, Lane Conditions & Coverstock as the Storm Crux Prime.

This ball is meant for heavy oil conditions only so it may react a bit differently on a house shot.

I am not sure there is much that is offered stronger than the Crux Prime. It is high performance and one of the strongest balls on the market. Just below the Crux Prime you could go to an upper mid performance ball that is more suited for medium to heavy oil if you want a small step down or maybe go down to medium oil for a wider range between the two.

The Storm Crux Prime will be much more aggressive than the Storm Match Up for the Match Up is a mid performance ball and the Crux Prime is a high performance ball meant for heavy lane conditions only. Anything less than the Match Up will be an entry level ball.

The Storm Crux Prime is meant for heavy lane conditions only.

You can just use the 2000 pad to put back on it.

Yes, this would be an excellent choice.

This ball should be excellent for you when it comes to really heavy oil.

Looks like the only difference between the two will be the lane conditions. The Code X will be for medium-heavy lane conditions and the Storm Crux Prime will be for heavy lane conditions only.

The Storm Drive is a hybrid and the Crux Prime is a solid. The Crux Prime will break sooner than the Drive.

This would be a stronger ball yes. If she is used to throwing a solid coverstock, I would stick with that.

The 13lb ball will be asymmetric.

It will be a solid coverstock.

It will have a solid coverstock.

Yes, it will!

The Pro Motion will have the Same Hook Potential, Lane Conditions & Coverstock as the Storm Crux Prime.

If you throw straight this ball will go straight. This ball requires the correct spin to hook so if you throw this ball straight it will go straight. You can get a much less expensive ball if you want the ball to go straight. There are straight bowling balls on our website as low as $44.99 at times so I would not recommend this ball if you were just needing a straight ball.

There are different kinds of reactive coverstocks. Solid reactive coverstocks tend to read the lanes earlier for a more gradual hook. Pearl reactive coverstocks tend to read the lanes later with a more angular hook on the backend. Hybrid coverstocks are a mixture of of solid and pearl coverstocks and read in between what a solid and pearl would do. There are also different levels and strengths to the coverstocks so depending on the performance level of the ball, the reactive coverstock could be stronger or weaker. This ball ( Storm Crux Prime ) is a high performance ball so the Solid Reactive coverstock on this ball is very strong and will hook a lot. But a Solid Reactive on another ball like the Storm Hy-Road X for example is not as strong because it was a mid performance ball. The strength of the ball is also directly related to the lane conditions the ball can hook in. Because the Crux Prime is a very strong ball, it is rated for heavier oil while the weaker Hy-Road X is more designed for medium to lighter oil because it is not as strong. Lastly, urethane coverstocks are not as strong as reactive coverstocks. So most urethane bowling balls will be rated for lighter oil or medium oil and have a lower hook rating in those conditions than a reactive ball would in the same conditions.

This ball has a Solid Reactive coverstock and it is a high performance ball. So it will require maintenance to keep the oil from soaking up too quickly into the cover. You will want to wipe the ball off when it comes back through the ball return with a towel and at the end of the night you will want to use a cleaner to clean the ball before you put it up. This will help the ball keep hooking strong for you for a long time.

For this bowling ball it works on heavy oil lane conditions.

The only difference between the 12lb ball and 15lb ball is the effect the weight block inside has on the performance. A 15lb ball has a RG 2.50 and a RG Dif 0.052. A 12lb ball has a RG 2.59 and a RG Dif 0.029. They have the same coverstock and finish so the difference is in the weight blocks effect.

Here is a link to view the different Storm drilling layouts: https://www.stormbowling.com/medias/drillspec.pdf

The biggest difference is that the Crux-Prime is a solid cover with a duller finish which is made to read more in the midlanes with a smooth arc hook. The Code Red was polished to go longer and have more of a backend hook.

Yes, if you have heavier oil conditions and not a lot of revs then a duller high performance ball would be a good option. The duller finish helps the ball to start gripping earlier so with a higher ball speed it helps to get the ball started moving earlier.

This ball is designed to read the lanes earlier so it has a smoother hook rather than a sharper backend hook. It will read the rotation that you put on the ball and give you as much hook as possible because it has one of the highest hook potentials.

The Storm Gravity Evolve would react a bit earlier and has a symmetrical core compared to the Storm Crux Prime and has an asymmetrical core.

It could depend on what you want the other ball to do. If you want another ball that reacts the same as the Wreck-em did to replace this then you could go with something like this: https://www.bowling.com/products/roto-grip-mvp-pearl.htm If you needed something that was more designed to handle more oil when the Wreck-em was not strong enough then you could go with something like this: https://www.bowling.com/products/roto-grip-halo-pearl.htm

Yes, the biggest difference is the cover and finish on the Crux Prime are duller to help it read more in the midlane while the Crux Pearl was designed to go longer and have a sharper backend. Also, the Crux Prime fragrance is Poemgranate Cider.

Yes, the Crux Prime will be a great heavy oil ball and it is designed to grip more in the midlane so it should not skid on you.

The original Crux has been discontinued and we no longer have this available unfortunately. We are sorry for any inconvenience on this.
