I have the Crux Prime and Hy-Road Pearl. Also, I'm a lower rev guy with a speed of 16 to 17 mph off my hand.
The Crux Prime starts moving quite early. I lay it down on about board 13 and target board 10 at the dots. Getting hold on the left (lots of oil) and it makes a move if I miss right. I get quite a bit of reaction on the backend past the range markers and my ball drives through the pins.
My Hy-Road Pearl makes a good move on the backend and looks a little sharper than the original Hy-Road.
It sounds to me that with your low revs that you're trying to keep too far right and keeping your ball on the drier boards rather than taking advantage of the oil. Try moving left with your feet and moving your target a bit more to the left as well.
If you got the AstroPhysix, you might find that the intermediate differential might help a bit on the backend but it might not be much better than your Hy-Road Pearl depending upon where you're playing. I bought an Intense Fire and expected it to give me a stronger finish and snap pretty hard. I was disappointed in it! So I took sanding pads to it and took off the polish down to 3000 grit. Now it doesn't just skid down the lane and hit the 3 or 6 pin rather than driving hard to the pocket. It slows down and makes a pretty good move toward the pocket with the 3000 grit finish.
Hope this helps...
