Storm Crossroad
Hi! My father can give me his Crossroad (with which he has never been able to play...). I already have the Nexus Pearl that I like to play with on medium to dry lanes.
Two questions :
1- Are the Crossroad and Nexus too near to the same kind of ball reaction?
2- Anyone here ever sanded a Crossroad? I need a sanded ball for fresh oil. Would it be a great idea? I have amost never change a surface so drastically on a ball.
Thanks a lot!

The neXus is a heavy oil ball and the Crossroads is a medium oil ball. The neXus is a more aggressive then the Crossroads! What is the pattern or oil length your bowling on? You can sand it,but,polished balls are good when fresh oil breaks down and you need a ball to go a little longer.

I am playing on a THS 40' long. I don't have a lot of revs, so when I play on fresh oil, it's a lot harder for me to hit correclty the pocket with a polished ball.

The beauty of the Crossroad is in it's predictability and the ability to alter the cover - it is fairly versatile. That being said, the Nexus is a more aggressive ball thatn theCrossroad and, IMO is best used on Medium oil or later in a league night after the heads have been torn up. I do this with some level of effectiveness...

I would sand the Crossroads to 1000 or 1500 and see how that works.

Leave the Crossroad alone. Clean the Nexus and use the Crossroad for the third game.

I already play with the Nexus when it's dry. I play at 9 PM and the lanes are oiled at 6 PM. So there are 3 games x 4 players that play before my league begins. I was looking for a sanded ball to play on fresh oil in tournaments. I tought that sanding the Crossroad could be an option.

wowzers...the NeXus is actually a stronger ball than the Crossroad. You can sand and try it but I wouldn't. I just have some OCD concerning altering coverstocks.
