Although the Alpha Crux is the oldest oiler on the market at this point in time, a lot of staffers have been throwing it lately. I saw quite a few using them yesterday during the PBA Player's Championship. Also, Lavoie used one to win Shark and BJ Moore used it on 2 telecasts during the WSOB. To me it would be hard to take that ball out of staffers hands right now - but since it's the oldest oiler on the market, you would think they would discontinue it soon.
