What exactly is the Power Plus coverstock that is on the CRASH? Does it have like MICA in it or is it just straight pure Reactive? What other bhsthis coverstock ever been used on in the past? Have there been any reports about people's CRASH's dying of ball death syndrom or is this coverstock and particular ball very durable? I'm tired of balls dying after 15 games (that isn't enough time to shoot many honor scores with a ball. Just Kidding. Okay... keep cool my babies! Keep cool...)!

And in all honesty... what is the best condition for this ball? As far as length, cleaness through the heads and midlane, backend shape movement, and oil handling capability?

I'm needing a ball to go between my Columbia WILD, which is my Medium/Light Oil ball and one of my big booming backending monsters, which is my Medium to Medium/Heavy Oil ball.

Would the CRASH fit... or be too strong... or too weak?

I want something that has more backend than the WILD and hooks more overall, but at the same time hooks less than one of my Medium to Medium/Heavy Oil balls... basically something with great length and a good backend, not STRONG and not WEAK... but right there in between (and with great continuation with no roll out).



Thanks!

I'm afraid I can't be as detailed as prior posters .. but I will tell you my experiences.

I own the CRASH and a buddy of mine also has one. Mine goes long with a nice SNAP at the end. I've had some NICE SCORES with the ball on MED/HVY condition. My friend (much younger then me) uses the ball in the same house (same League) and the ball is thrown like a HOCKEY STICK angle. He is VERY CONSISTENT with the ball and has had a number of HIGH SERIES with it.

We bought throw different deliveries and the ball serves both our purposes. I think the ball is great and wonder why there aren't more people talking about it! Hope I've helped a little!

Is the CRASH a pearl? Or just solid reactive? Is this Power Plus cover durable, does anybody know?

BTW... very confused on this... but would the next step up from the CRASH be the FREAK-A-ZOID (and would it have more backend than the CRASH)? I'm guessing so. I think they have the same typ of cover being the Power Plus, but one is sanded and one is polished, BUT I was told that the CRASH hooked more the the Freak-A-Zoid on the backend... which I'm curious about... true???

I'm thinking of maybe revamping my arsenal, possibly.

Ric,

Again, I have to applaud Charlest.  He's described the FreakaZoid and Crash exactly the way it's supposed to be.  The Faz will handle a little more oil vs the Crash and it also rolls earlier.  Thanks Charlest..can I forward you my pms to handle?
