Storm Crux Prime

Storm has brought back the Catalyst Core in the Storm Crux Prime high performance bowling ball. This popular core has been known for its unmatched power, increased entry angle, as well as allowing more room for error due to dynamic asymmetrical design and vertical cavity technology. The SPEC coverstock used in this ball stands for Storm Performance Enhanced Coverstock. This special coverstock was specifically designed to endure the friction and oil a bowling ball goes through each time it is thrown down the lane. The SPEC Solid Reactive coverstock used on the Crux Prime is best used on heavier oil conditions and really shines when the lanes start to transition. No matter what lane condition this ball faces it will consistantly read the midlane and store energy for the backend.

Great Ball!

Bowled two series in league with the Crux Prime... 600 and 669.
It can strike from almost anywhere. Pin carry is significantly
better than my Brunswick Kingpin. This ball needs oil, so as it dries out you have to make
big moves left or switch to something with less hook. I was able to use it all three games and adjust
feet and mark to keep using it. Great ball!

Pros:

Attractive, Heavy Mid-lane Roll, New cover allows the ball to go through the pin

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Strong and Continuous... What more do you want?

The Crux Prime is the latest release in the Premier line. The Prime is wrapped in a brand new storm technology, the SPEC Solid Reactive. The Spec Solid Reactive is designed to give heavy midlane roll for the longer/heavier volume lane conditions. I personally like the Asymmetric bowling balls becuase they help me blend the lane front to back. Sometimes with strong bowling balls like this, they tend to burn up and don't go through the pins very well. The Spec cover on the proven Catalyst Core retains plenty of energy allowing me to split the 8/9 a lot. If you need a ball to combat the heavy volume/longer patterns, this is the ball you've been waiting for! This ball will be better for Rev challenged players and speed dominant players. If you are Rev dominant or throw it slower, I suggest speaking with your PSO before drilling! The comparison I did was betweent the Crux Prime and the Sure Lock. For me they offered similar strength, but the Sure Lock had more pop downlane (Probably because its older). The Crux was much smoother and earlier rolling.

Question:

I have the Crux Prime what balls would you recommend above and below

2/28/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:

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.

Question:

I throw back up and trying to find something with heavy oil. Most of my balls I have or light to medium oil balls. Would the crux prime be a good choice for me? Or is something good in mind for a back up bowler

Question:

I have been using a 15lb Storm Match Up which works great on my home lanes (wood) when they are drier but it absolutely skates when they are freshly oiled. I experience the same thing on synthetic lanes. I am an intermediate with a Norm Duke type delivery, would the Crux Prime be too aggressive for me in wet or synthetic conditions? If so what ball would be a step down in aggression?

3/23/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:

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.

Question:

My daughter is wanting a stronger ball since she will be bowling in Junior Gold next season and will be bowling on different oil patterns. she currently bowls with the DV8 Poison.

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