Crisis Pearl Pic

This isn't the official photo, but since we don't have one yet I thought I'd take a quick photo of the staff ball I got.

I was hoping that the ball would still look like the original one that got nix'd.  Can't wait to see mine show up!

It's new,...just hit the streets, the picture is close,..but the ones I got are a shinier red pearl,..drilled 2 this weekend,...WOW. Finally a ball to combat the dreaded hooking track, that will still corner and hit. These balls clear the fronts with ease when the heads go,..rev up like a Dodge-Hemi on av-gas, and seek out the pocket with plenty of energy to spare. With my medium speed and early release I've had trouble playing deep, and finding a ball that I didn't have to try and muscle through the heads. The Pearl Vendetta shell, with the Crisis big weight block is a great match up for a ball that won't jump off the dry early. I was very surprised at the way the ball keeps coming around the corner without having to try and ovethrow the ball through the fronts. I have one drilled 5 1/2 x 4, pin over the bridge, with a small hole 6" over on the VAL to get the sw down to 3/4 oz. This one is long and strong, lets me stay to the right longer, and creates a great entry angle. The second one is a 4 x 5, pin just out side of the ring, no holes. A little earlier mid lane read, and this ball really chases the oil line as the lanes transition. Instead of moving 3-4 boards at a time like I usually had to do,..now if I leave a 4 pin, a simple one board shift works fine. This ball needs some traction to perform,...it seems to work best when the midlanes are breaking down,..and or the backends are really flying...naturally on a lot of oil this ball probably won't be effective because of the shell/weightblock match-up. But if you are looking for a ball that will let you play in the dry and transition, without having to throw harder, or change your game I think this ball will fit nicely...jim   ****1/2 stars    five is tops.

Yeah, the original Crisis is still in the active line of equipment.  It will be sent into production as demand requires.

It's a keeper of a ball.  How many other ball companies have a resin ball that's 4 years old?  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The Crisis is indeed a special ball.  If you're heavy handed, get two or three of them and you can cover anything but long oil, if you have a soft hand you have an excellent control ball for a THS and drier track areas.  IF they're still making it, why is it do hard to find?  Alot of online shops don't even carry it or will give you a lengthy waiting time for them to order it.  I know our distributors don't carry them either and we have to special order direct from the plant(I think) or get them from a midwest distributor.

That is a pretty ball.  Reminiscent of the Red Wolf pearl.
