The Omega Crux is the 5th in the Crux line, all featuring the Catalyst core, but is the first to feature the GI-20 pearl cover, which comes factory sanded at 3000 grit. The Omega feels like a throwback to the original Crux, and the reaction is what made the original so popular. There’s traction, but not too much, a strong move down lane, but not too strong, and a very good control to power balance. This means the Omega was built for versatility, both on the lanes, and in the hands of several different styles of bowlers. There’s enough backend punch and hook to help higher speed or lower rev bowlers create an effective shape, but it’s not too strong or angular for slower speed or heavier hands. It feels like a smoother and more controllable PhysiX, it has a strong and continuous motion, but it’s not quite as aggressive or “angry†as the PhysiX. The Omega will do well both on house shots and on sport patterns for a wide variety of bowlers.
