It depends on the oil pattern and the browser's release. Both could work well it just depends

My understanding after just attended a Storm Matchmaker; is that the Skid is slightly more angular on the backend than the Crux Pearl.  With that said; you would want to do the Crux over the Hyper Cell Skid.  But as Star stated.  It depends on oil pattern and your release.

I can play up with my Skid. If the lanes let me, I have played between 5 and 7 and as long as I release the ball properly, this shot is deadly. So I always see if this shot is playable. The Skid has been my go to ball since it was released!

I hope the OP doesn't mind but I didn't want to start a new thread. I'm just curious why I don't see more Crux Pearls? Can anybody compare it to past releases?

I've thrown both and watched both thrown by a few other people. For me the HCS was stronger overall. A lot more backend and sharper than the crux pearl. From the others I have seen its the same for them as well. Both carry, hit and continue well through the pins. For some other people I've seen the crux pearl as a tad weaker and able to play longer because of that. The HCS will carry from as far deep as you want, just forces you out quicker.

I eventually ended up getting both balls and found that my HCS will roll up a little earlier and I will have better carry early on but my crux will be better for me when the fronts are gone and I need a little more length. However, my HCS is stacked for the most part and my crux pearl has its mass bias kicked way out. I do feel that the skid is more angular off the spot by nature and if I had them drilled the same the skid would be more off the spot. Overall they both work and will drive through the pins
