Cross Road v Eruption
« on: February 28, 2012, 09:35:18 AM »
Anyone able to compare these two? Im guessing the Eruption would be slighter longer and more angular but not sure about overall hook.

You kind of answered your own question...the Eruption is longer and more angular.

Is it, Russell? I demo'd the Eruption and found it to be pretty smooth on the back end. It was much less snappy than I expected. The Crossroad, on the other hand, seems much more angular downlane than the Eruptions, though I haven't thrown it myself to confirm.

From what I have seen and heard from a tour player who has a couple of each....yes.  Hard to tell on Demo Day balls....get lots of use and can be a little worn.  The ones I have seen look pretty strong on the backend.

It's true that it's tough to tell on Demo Days. I will say that I liked the reaction I got from the Eruption, even if it wasn't as snappy as I expected.
