Hyroad on steroids

Likes: Glides through the heads, strong and continuous backend.

Dislikes: None

Layout: 60 degrees x 4 3/8 inches x 35 degrees.
My PAP: 5 7/8 inches over and 3/8 inches up.

The Crossroad's surface right out of the box may be a little touchy at first (under/over) but don't be discouraged by this. If you notice this just break the shine, very lightly, with a 2000 abralon pad.

When I first threw mine, it really reacted to friction but laid off a bit when moving into a little more oil. Since breaking the shine off and smoothing out the backend reaction the Crossroad has quickly moved to the first pearl/hybrid out of the bag.

Compared to my Victory Road (pearl) when it was brand new, the Crossroad seems to read slightly later with a slightly sharper backend reaction. Both balls have the same identical layout.

When my Victory Road Solid or Modern Marvel starts to burn up a little early this is the next ball out of my bag.

There's no question this ball will be in my bag for Nationals this year and it should be in yours as well.
