The Cruel C51 LE is another beast of a ball! As compared to the original Cruel, the LE gets down lane further before reacting hard off the break point. I chose to put a less known layout on my LE (75x4 1/4x35) and this placed the pin in a stacked position (right hand) making my break point shape stronger, it placed the cg right of the mid line by 1/4" and placed the MB indicator left of my thumb by 1/2". By placing the MB left of my thumb, I am able to more of an aggressive arc shape to the ball rather than a skid/flip reaction that typically comes with stacking pin and cg. By doing this, I am still able to use the ball on sport patterns such as Scorpion playing up 8 on anvilane surfaces. The ball doesn't lose any recovery with this layout and for me is more controllable off the break point. Another great ball from the MOTIV factory!! It truly is a CRUEL world.
