Storm Alpha Crux Bowling Ball

The Storm Alpha Crux is back and it doesn't disappoint. Featuring the legendary Catalyst A.I. Core wrapped in the proven GI-26 Solid Reactive coverstock, this ball is built to dominate heavier oil conditions. With a 2.48 RG, the Alpha Crux revs up quickly and reads the midlane with confidence. The .053 differential creates plenty of track flare and overall hook potential, while the .018 intermediate differential gives this asymmetric powerhouse a strong continuation through the pins. The 2000-grit Abralon finish allows the Alpha Crux to dig into heavy oil and provide a smooth, predictable motion without sacrificing hitting power. What impressed me most was how well the ball blended out wet/dry lane conditions while still maintaining a strong move through the pocket. The reaction is best described as strong in the midlane, continuous through the backend, and extremely reliable when the lanes have volume. Bowlers looking for a benchmark heavy-oil ball or a first-ball-out-of-the-bag option will appreciate the versatility and consistency this ball provides. Specs: • Core: Catalyst A.I.

Coverstock: GI-26 Solid Reactive Weight Block: Catalyst + A.I. RG: 2.48 RG. Diff.: 0.053 Finish: 2000-Grit Abralon Fragrance: Apple Fritter Storm’s new Alpha Crux is a Solid Asymmetrical piece that is good for Medium-Heavy Volume patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. I drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers, CG kicked out 1” from the palm, and 1” Left of the Mass Bias. 5 x 4 x 2 ½. I threw this piece on a Fresh Shark Pattern and on a left over house pattern. Out of Box ball motion started in the mids with a sharp backend reaction through the pins on both patterns. I compared this to the Ion Max (Lane Shine) on the let over house pattern. Ion Max went a few feet further and was smoother on the backend than the Alpha Crux. This piece will be good for all types of styles. Check Out my Ball motion Video on my Facebook/YouTube Page: https://www.facebook.com/reel/4300216263627932

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Type: Kegel Tungsten BALL: Storm Alpha Crux AI Coverstock: GI-26 Solid Core: Catalyst A.I. Core Finish: 2000k RG: 2.52 (14 lb) Differential: 0.051 (14 lb) MB/PSA: 0.016 (14 lb) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 14–15 mph Rev Rate: 220 PAP: 6 3/16 → ¾ Up The legendary Alpha Crux is back, and Storm has modernized it with A.I. Core Technology while keeping the ball motion that made the original one of the most sought-after releases in bowling history. The Alpha Crux AI is exactly what many bowlers hoped it would be a modern version of the original Alpha Crux with more hitting power. The GI-26 coverstock digs into the lane early and provides tremendous traction in fresh oil. I normally do not test balls on anything other than our house shot as that is where most bowlers bowl anyway. So after my first few shots I was not seeing what I “thought” this ball was or should be doing. It was lazy and didn’t do anything downlane. That is where I looked up this pattern and found that I was way too far to the right and as soon as I started moving left I started to see what this ball was all about. If you know me or have read any of my previous posts I like to play right and straight, BUT this ball allowed me to get left which was a great change of pace and I even got as far left sliding at 35. This is going to be a ball that will be in the house/league bag as well as my tournament bag. Thanks for reading and watching!
