TRACK: Critical Mass Code Red Special Edition
There seems to be a lot of "new" stuff that uses old cores with tweaked covers. Some of these releases are so-so and some are really strong. Put the Code Red S/E in the latter category, a very big-hooking ball in comparison to the old version. It uses the original Code Red modified two-piece core with the Powertech Ceramic core, which is a quick-revving, easy-to-roll core that was pretty smooth with the original cover. The base of this core is a large ball with a super dense flip-block on top, a medium density control block on the bottom and the Powertech ceramic inner core in the core center. This medium Rg core has medium/low differential for moderate flare potential; 14-16 pound weights can be drilled in any two-piece manner. Now before you think, "Ugh! A low flare ball," read on!
The new cover - Track's Powerplus with gold mica - puts this one in the big hook category. This reactive urethane formula is a juiced-up version of the aggressive cover used on the Triton Elite. The new set of tires allows the S/E to cover a bunch of boards, and gives players all of the hook they could want. The Cherry Red cover with gold-filled logos and box sheen (looks like 1000-grit wet sand) modifies easily to match release strength. This core/cover combo delivers a quick revving, heavy mid-lane roll with a very aggressive backend. A strong release can get this one to turn the corner quickly, but the ball's fortŽ is its big, smooth overall hook and hit.
With a pair of S/Es, we label-drilled the right-side ball with pin at leverage and box finish. On a fresh condition, we could move into the puddle in the middle and play a small loop or bump the outside drier boards and let the ball do the work. The core delivered rev and roll; the cover gave a predictable, consistent hook. Box finish was too much for the pups, so we applied a medium polish for the rev players. The left-side ball was drilled with the pin 5 inches from PAP for more control. Box finish gave great play up the boards or inside out; the polish yielded additional length and a sharper hook. The major comment from all users regardless of surface was how much and how smoothly the ball hooked. This is not a skid/snap ball, but it covers boards and hits with about any ball on the market.
I like mine - it's a pin-in ball drilled over the label. Factory grit but polished. Good predictable "go-to" ball when the shot dries up or gets squirrely. Similar to a Pulse in boards covered but more even arc movement. I've hear stories of them having a cracking out problem, but no problems with mine so for (but I have less than 30 games on it).
BTM magazine did a review and rated about as high as any ball that they've ever rated. They loved it.
