If I needed a Code Black it would probably fit under the snow tire at the top of the bag. And actually I don't even have that at the moment, my Jackal LE is sitting undrilled at home still. Just don't need anything that strong right now.

Anyways, from what I've seen and read the Code Black looks like a great ball if you want something that stores energy for the end of the pattern while being able to handle a good amount of volume. Right now my Mastermind Intellect is filling that role perfectly for me though.

The Code Black would sit above my medium oil benchmark(ish) piece which is the Arson Hybrid, possibly soon to be the Heat X-Treme or Rebel Solid.

I don't see it being any different than the balls before it, crux pearl, hyper cell skid, etc...just a diff core and cover combo

To my eyes, it's very similar to my Covert Revolt, probably a few boards more hook.

I haven't seen one in person yet but heard it compared to the Snap Lock.  I love my Snap Lock, so if this is the case. I'll be passing on the Code Black.

I feel like I'm throwing an X-Factor.  Very fun....definitely R2S....

Quite the interesting peice

Past meets present...I feel like i got the length of an old polished pearl....but then the back end of today's technology.

That's what I'm seeing on the lanes from watching others that have it.
