Question:


How does code-x compare with a new intense fire?

6/12/2018 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The Storm Code X will be more aggressive than the Storm Intense Fire because the Code X is a solid coverstock whereas the Intense Fire is a hybrid coverstock. The Code X will also have a 3000 grit finish which will make it go longer than the Storm Intense Fire which only has a 1500 grit finish.

Question:


How does the Code X compare and differ to the Alpha Crux?

10/26/2018 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Out of the box the Alpha Crux has a duller 2000 grit finish which can help the Alpha Crux read a little earlier on the lane. However, the weight block on the Code X is stronger and this can help the Code X to make up the hook for breaking a little later than the Alpha Crux so they are going to cover about the same amount of boards.

Question:


Is this ball equal to the depth charge

3/12/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


I found some details on the Depth Charge and I believe it was a particle pearl ball. The details show it worked in medium to heavy oil but it was polished to try and go longer on the lanes. The Code X was a duller finish out of the box so it was going to read a little more on the midlane and have a smoother hook reaction. The Code X is newer as well so that may give it a slightly high hook potential with the newer technology used on balls today.

can the straight bowler use the code x?

4/17/2019 - By

Have an answer to this question?

If you are not used to throwing a hooking ball, then this will be too much ball for you and you would want to stick with a spare ball that only bowls straight.
