Core Design:
The symmetric core is conservative in shape and delivers a smooth arcing motion. The RG is medium at 2.50 with a 3" flaring Diff of .033.

Coverstock:
The fire engine red solid cover comes highly polished. The conservative base reactive resin is called Tru-GlideR, and boy, does it glide!

Manufacturer's Intent:
The Crisis solid fills out the Dyno-Thane line for drier to light-medium patterns. The intent is for easy length through lesser volumes of oil, followed by a smoother reaction off friction. Controlled motion for lighter patterns is generally easier to predict than those covers which are more responsive.


Test Results:
The Crisis solid provides effortless length on lighter to medium volumes of oil. Our power player tester had limited success on the medium to heavier patterns. He struck all day long on the lighter volumes. The Crisis offers lots of control with a predictable motion off friction. Our medium rev testers could only use the Crisis successfully on the lighter patterns, or when playing closer to the track once our medium volumes broke down. This ball definitely needs to see friction to respond properly and carry. Needless to say, heavier and longer volumes will be better served using stronger equipment.

When to Use:
The Crisis will perform up to expectations on lighter patterns when easy length and a controlled move off friction are desired. Some power players will be able to play deep inside angles and still create enough entry angle for pleasing pin carry. Most players will realize the strong suit of the Crisis is control. The cover does not require forcing to achieve length, but does need an adequate amount of dry to turn the corner. Track players will be able to play in or near the dry and let their hand and lane do most of the work.

This is my "go to" ball in time of need. Heads and mids are fried? House forgot to oil before league play? Grab this ball and shoot effortlessly through the fronts, with a nice controllable angular turn to the pocket. I have even used it during flood conditions with a 2000 abralon matte finish and got great results. My book average is only 205-210 but have rarely shot under 200 with this ball and expect this season to be better.
