I used it on synthetics with super clean backends.
In the same air as the critical theory, modern marvel, sinister, and now physix....
Sanded hybrids and pearls are super useful.
If you're anything like me and dream of conditions where u can use a ball for 3 games without switching...I found this surface prep style ball very useful.
When starting with an assymetrical solid, I'd have a great look, only to lose the majority of my brackets and side pots come game three. After starting to use a sanded hybrid/pearl I had to kinda ease the ball into the pattern in game one, but I had game 2 and 3 without doubt.
Bust out the Crux!
