Since its release, bowlers have been using the new Crux Prime to set their new personal bests and roll honor scores all around the country.
Our Tech Team at HQ worked hard to bring something extraordinary to the lanes combining the Catalyst Core with the all-new SPEC coverstock and bowlers are witnessing the power of this new technology in their home centers.
Storm Staff member, Brad Kemp has been on quite the hot streak. He’s rolled four 300 games with three different layouts since he added this new release to his bag.

“From what I see throwing the crux prime and also watching others, it is the first Premier Line ball that rolls to its full potential on just about any condition,” Kemp said. “A lot of the big balls tend to burn up on a “house” pattern and lack power going through the pins, the Crux Prime does not seem to ‘burn up’ nearly as much and is still very strong the entire way down the lane.”
As Kemp has seen, the combination of the core and coverstock allows for increased entry angle and a greater margin for error with its dynamic asymmetrical design and vertical cavity technology. The benefits of the SPEC Solid Reactive can be truly appreciated on heavier conditions, especially when they begin to transition but bowlers have found success with it on a variety of conditions.
“It seems to be an amazing ball to add to your arsenal for every style of bowler and I would highly recommend getting yourself one or multiples!” Kemp said.

Chad McLean, Technical Director at Storm Products, shared some insights about the new Crux Prime in his internal review that can be read in this blog post. He discusses that the innate Ra of SPEC is slightly higher than our other primary coverstocks that don’t use an ancillary additive or enhancer.
